One dye bath, different amounts of time

Hello, everyone! I'm happy be opening US based dye commissions! Currently, I will only be accepting commissions from within the US, due to the cost of international shipping. (Canada may DM but costs can still be quite high)

About me: I have been dyeing dolls for around 5 years now. It's an enjoyable part of the hobby for me, and as someone who is unable to work, I hope it can be a source of some income.

I exclusively use Rit Dyemore. Turn around time is 1-2 months. 3 slots available. You may claim multiple slots.

At this time I will not be mixing custom colors. This takes more time and trials and I cannot guarantee I will get what you want. You may request a mix I have done for myself previously. *Exact color match is not guaranteed.* Rit Dyemore offers a wide range of colors and I am happy to use any of them straight. I can get a light or deep color with most of them. *Note: I may add a small amount of another color if toning is needed. Ex. Graphite must be toned with blue or purple to get a more pure black. Otherwise it will only look very very dark brown.

Prices for full dolls, one solid color start at:

Yosd/tinies: $50

Msd: $60

Sd: $75

I am no longer accepting dolls over 62cm! I have a hard time fitting them in my pot.

Parts, one color:

Hands/feet only all sizes: $20

Head only: $30

Legs/arms (including hands/feet) only: $40

Torso: $40

For fantasy dolls and parts (mermaids, centaurs, etc.) please message me as prices may vary by complexity and i need to be sure all parts will fit in my pot.

Extras:

Additional color (only 1 additional color): $10 (ex. An msd: torso, head, arms-blue, lower half-pink. This would be $70 rather than $60)

Restringing: $15 for fantasy dolls. $10 for everything else.

*if you choose restringing you must send your doll in a large enough box. If the box is not large enough (i.e. doll was sent unstrung in a smaller box but you want it returned strung) you will be charged for additional packing materials. Cost may vary and will be added to your return shipping invoice.

Body shimmer: $10 all sizes. Your doll will be covered in a resin-safe liquid sealant that has been mixed with shimmer color of your choice. All shimmers have a duochrome shift. Message me for available colors. *chipping or rubbing off of sealant will occur over time in the joint areas and may rub off with a lot of handling*

I do not offer body blushing or tattoos.

Payment is due upon my acceptance of your commission and you have read and signed the google form containing my terms and conditions. I will send a link to the form when we have agreed on your service. Failure to properly sign will result in rejection of your commision.

Customers are responsible for shipping both ways. When you ship your doll to me, please send me a picture of the receipt so i can charge the same amount on your return shipping invoice. *I highly recommend getting insurance. IF YOU DID NOT BUY INSURANCE TO SEND TO ME, I WILL NOT BUY INSURANCE TO SEND IT BACK. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR UNINSURED PACKAGES. If you did purchase insurance, please tell me the amount.

Return shipping will be charged when the dye job is complete. *I will not ship your doll until the shipping has been paid*

Please send your doll to me completely blank with no sealant residue. *sealant residue will result in blotchy dye. However, if you are going for a vitiligo effect this will achieve it in most cases. The residue will dye darker and then when it gets cleaned off the resin underneath will be significantly lighter and in some cases, undyed. **Let me know if you have purposely left sealant residue. Results of this process will vary.**

Dolls will be wiped with 99% alcohol and rinsed in water prior to dye jobs.

Companies that i have experience dyeing:

The best: Dollzone, Little Monica, Migidoll, Luts (consistently very even)

Very good: Akagi Doll (not perfect but just a bit uneven)

Decent: Dream of Doll, Dividing Line/Fenjiexian, Xagadoll, Resinsoul (some unevenness)

Not great: Doll Family-A and H (very noticably uneven), Shoushou Doll (however others have had good experiences so i'm willing to try again)

Absolutely not: Loongsoul, Unoa (extremely uneven. I will NOT take commissions for these brands!)

Companies i do not personally have experience dyeing but others had good results:

Myou doll, Doll in Mind, Withdoll, Soom, Doll Chateau, Lillycat, Fairyland

Examples:

[catwalk-kitties]

The bodies took the dye as expected. Chase (4th from left) and Purrl (6) were tinted with a quick dip in yellow, as they had had too blue of a pink and white respectively. Minx (3) and Toffee (4) were dyed yellow. I added red to make orange and dyed Sol (1) and Sienna (2). Finally, I added tan and dip-dyed Minx’s (3) Siamese points.

Dye commission!

Plan was to get WS Altis legs to a nice, dark brown, similar to Alice’ body color. Used only Rit Dyemore chocolate brown, the hooves just stayed inthe pot longer than the rest. Owner is really happy, so I am happy with it too.

I honestly should have done this a long, long time ago. Mapping out dye ratios and time to, once again, make things easier in the future.

Ihihihi!!! Look at ‘em!!! I knew @meanae would do a wonderful job dyeing my Altis’ legs for me as I’m always in awe of her dyed resin, be it brown scales, black or lilacs.  But she knocked it out of the park with these ones. They came out a gorgeous caramelly (that’s totally a word) soft brown that beats the Fairyland tan by miles. Also love the darker hooves! His fur just looks so silkysoft! :3 Can’t wait to get them home and give them a light blush and then fix his faceup. (I’ve waited so I can match the brown markings on his face with his legs)
