Pencil Bag Commissions Re-Open Today!

Journal Entry: Wed Feb 9, 2011, 9:03 AM


I will start accepting slots for pencil bags now, but I won't be taking any money until I have the first example of the new bags up. There will be detailed information about the bags and what I will be doing to them including quality improvement, liners, media being used to decorate bags, sealants and cleaning information. Look out for that.
     Prices are $30 for 1 side (includes cost of art, bag, and alterations), $45 for both sides illustrated, and $2 more for a handmade zipper charm. If you live outside the US, there will be a $3 shipping fee, which means I pay part of the shipping for you.

Also, the winner of the free bag is :iconnineri:! Congrats, babe.

Ash, why the hell are the prices so expensive! It's just a bag you drew on...
Yes, it is, and no, it isn't. It is just a bag, but the pictures are hand drawn commissions colored in Prismacolor markers, which die fairly quickly doing these bags and are fairly expensive. I often use the money I make on these bags to buy the supplies to make more of them. Also, a full colored drawing on paper, from me, is



You heard right, after several months of searching, I have finally found my replacement canvas pencil/cosmetic zipper bags to use in my popular pencil bag commissions. I'm having them sent in from Oriental Trading Company, and they'll arrive fairly early in February.


One lucky watcher will receive the first bag FREE with 1 side illustrated.
If you catch my 40,000th pageview before Feb. 9th and screencap it for me, you'll get the free bag. Otherwise, if I don't reach that kiriban, the free bag will go to the first person who places an order.

Updated prices look like they'll be $25 fore one side illustrated, and $35 for both sides. A zipper charm can be added for only $2 extra.

I won't be taking orders for these until February 9th, so keep an eye out!

I don't have the cash for these now that I'm living on my own, sadly, but to anyone who's thinking of treating themselves, DO IT. Ash made me the Fallout themed bag at the bottom, and I've had it with me every day since. People compliment it every day and I proudly tell them that I commissioned my friend for it. You'll be so unique and it will be so much more personal to you than a silly mass produced print bag.

Good luck, Ash.

If I had the money to spend, I would do this.

How big are the bags?

About 8" long (so that an unsharpened pencil generally fits pretty well) and 4" tall.
They'll hold about 45 pencils.

I kind of hate making them so expensive, but they're a lot more labor intensive than normal paper commissions, and from experience, I typically have to draw something very detailed and painstaking on the bag in the first place XD

Perhaps the next time I have money to burn, you'll be doing this still/again and I can contact you ;D
