๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ PinkuPlushies are BACK! I missed all of youuuu. ;O;
2020 was not the best year, and Iโve had to step away for a while. Iโm glad that life is looking brighter again. ๐

For the material cost, taxes (Sweden. Expensive.), fees and especially the amount of *time* involved in making each plush - ๐ ๐ก๐๐ฏ๐ ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฆ. Severely, in most cases. If I do not change that, I will not be able to afford to work with plushies as my job any longer. Meanwhile, other artists have rightfully been charging far more for plushies that take a fraction of the time to make in comparison. What have I been doing? Focusing on โjust sew more and work harder and itโll work out somehowโ, digging a hole for myself. So! I want to do better than that. The plush prices have been updated. <3
This will lead to: More stable life โ more Pinku energy โ even better plush quality and more releases! ๐
From here on out, PlushShop updates are mainly *ready to ship*. All plushies & Clips in there now are finished, and just need to be packed! (Btw! As usual, all the lilโ Clips can be attached to your clothes, bags, hair, etc.. <3)
No more waiting times! With this new system it is possible to miss out on a plush release though - itโs first come, first serve. Plushies can still return again in a later release, though no restock will be the same. What I do sew again will depend on your input - let me know anytime if there is a certain premade plush youโd love to see in the selection again. <3

Want to know when the next update is, and which plushies are involved? Check out the new PlushShop Newsletter! --> https://www.pinkuart.com/newsletter
Everyone who subscribes to it will be notified first, and get more detailed info than what I post on here.
(If custom orders are what you are looking for, there is an own Newsletter for them already! Commissions will be extremely rare compared to the PlushShop updates.)
As before, youโll get the chance to vote for new Plush additions (and now also restocks) in the future. The next one will be a new Blob! And after that, Iโll need your help to pick who the next Mochi is...soon.
What have I been up to in my absence? ...Making plushies! The entire time. ๐ The question now is, what do I even edit & post first? Get ready for TONS of content! Including my new record for โmost hours spent on a single plushโ. Itโs a legendary Pokemon. ๐
