Mew's stream info

Simple stream info:

Who: me!
What: Wyrm bookmarks
When: Friday 3pm-5pm EST (any maybe other times)
Where: https://join.me/279-575-614
Why: Why not?

Time is tentative and may change depending on other stream schedules. Stream may end earlier or later depending on attendance. I may also hold another stream in the evening on another day.

--------

More detailed info:

At my Homecon table I'll be selling some custom wyrm cross stitch bookmarks, such as these: http://mew-trainer-rose.deviantart.com/ ... -420221811
Should anyone wish them, I would of course be happy to take commissions for non-wyrm bookmarks, such as the ones found here: http://mew-trainer-rose.deviantart.com/gallery/36730105
More detailed info on creation, pricing and shipping can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=928

Pricing:
$40: wyrms of a similar complexity to [these] that have white as a base color
$50: For wyrms of a similar complexity with any color other that white as a base
-wyrms of a significantly greater complexity, such as one with large extra features like wings, will cost more based on how much more time I think it would take me to make. Show me the wyrm and I'll give you a quote
-I'm currently undecided as to whether I would do wyverns. I'd have to see one someone wants before I can decide if I'd be able to do it.

Shipping:
-No charge within the USA
-Will gladly ship international, but will need to check the price of postage and may charge for that

How to order:
-Post here (or ask during the stream) with which wyrm you'd like me to make, along with reference pictures (their registry page is probably easiest.)
-I will respond here with a confirmation that I received your request, along with the price it would cost. Then I'll draw up a pattern and post it for your approval. If there's something you're dissatisfied with, I will make changes as needed and repost until you're satisfied.
-Once a design has been agreed upon, I will PM you for your shipping address and to discuss payment information. I will not charge at this time. Paypal would be the easiest way to pay, but I am willing to discuss other options.
-Once I have your information, I will start sewing.
-When the bookmark is finished, I'll post a finished picture (or PM, if you request it) and request payment. Once I receive the payment, I'll mail you your bookmark.

I don't have a webcam and therefore can't stream the actual sewing of bookmarks (which I think would be a bit boring to watch anyway), but I would be happy to stream the creation of bookmark patterns, which I do on the computer. I first plan the design in Photoshop or another art program, then redraw the finished design in a cross stitch pattern program called KG-Chart, which offers a palate of colors approximating those available in DCM brand embroidery floss. Planning designs with these colors give me a better idea of what floss I need for the design, as well as a clearer idea of what the final piece may look like. I also have a microphone headset, so I could possibly chat with any stream watchers by audio.

If there are not enough (or any) commissions to fill the time during my stream, I could take requests from viewers of breeds to design bases of for future patterns (they pick a breed, I design a generic one and save the design in case someone later wants a bookmark of that breed).

Correction: ustream doesn't do screen sharing, so I'm switching to https://join.me/279-575-614

Due to lack of activity, I ended my stream early. If anyone would like to order a bookmark, I would be happy to set up a stream for them at any time to design the bookmark while they watch.
