Hi hi~ ALRIGHT SO. A few announcements!! I am set for LBCE (May 11) and Fanime(May 24-27). Do I have table assignments for either of these cons? NOPE. Well I guess we’ll just burn that bridge when we get there.

Second, my art book pre-order is ending this Saturday on May 4th SO if you wanted to get a copy, all the info are in that link. I’ll be bringing a few copies with me to my cons but PROBABLY NOT THAT MANY lmfao. ALSO IF YOU HAVE ORDERED BOWS/TIGHTS I am slowly getting those out!! I got you, bro. Don’t worry.

Third, omfg OKAY SO. I’m gonna go ahead and do a formal apology cause my email responding time is pretty iffy these days. Life + school is really beating me down and I’m trying my hardest to get back to everyone but alright life lesson don’t run 3 pre-orders at the same time NEXT TIME ALONG WITH HAVING 16 UNITS OF SCHOOL hohoho.

OTHER QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS

Q: WHAT IF WE WANT TO COSPLAY YOUR DESIGNS BUT WE DON’T HAVE CASH/DON’T WANNA BUY YOUR DUMB BOOK?
A: Beside for the elves, Gandalf and Smaug all of the dwarves plus Bilbo are on my tumblr (break downs included) for free :)
Q: What does the title mean?
A: It’s the Neo-Khuzdul word for “clothing” in the feminine plural form. More or less “fashion” because I’m really uncreative
Q: HAHA NERD
A: NOBODY ASKED YOU FOR YOUR OPINIONS, BLUE.
Anyway this is getting really long. But I HOPE that you guys will find the book cool/useful or whatever lmfao. ALSO ALSO the first 5 people to order will receive this charm along with their book. Hohoho.

Taking a bit of a break from working on the dwarf lolis (OMFG…) to go check the mail AND TO MY SURPRISE MY PENCIL POUCHES ARE HERE!! aaaah they are so NICE. These will be available on sale at Fanime and AM2 this summer (and online afterward * O * ) Hehe god I can’t get over the amount of details that got printed on the Tardis one!

Also casual reminder that the bows and tights pre-orders are closing next week on April 20 so if you wanted to grab at those please check out the info on their page. (They are also available on Etsy for less of a hassle for pre-ordering. Yer welcome)

Well hello there! SO SORRY FOR THE RECENT RADIO SILENCE!! Man life is hard when your job has nothing to do with what you are going to school full time for C’: BUT I DIGRESS. Anyway since some people were curious about Wondercon (which is on March 29-31 at the Anaheim Convention Center), my bows will be at a booth run by one of my stores: Geeky Mamas :) But I will not personally be there. So if you are interested, please stop by!! And tell them Siren sent you there ohoho.

ALSO. I’m trying something new here. I have put up a pre-order section on my etsy. THIS MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT EASIER BUT NOT REALLY so we’ll see how it goes. I just didn’t like doing pre-orders over etsy BUT IT’S COOL. it’s cool I got this. So if you were waiting on doing either the hobbit bows or the tights you can head right on over to etsy.

 ♥Tights Pre-Orders ♥

Okay so I really was going to wait until I finish my hobbit bows to open this up but WELP. Here we go. BEFORE WE PROCEED LET’S GO OVER A FEW GROUND RULES. Because this is my first time doing this (ohoho please be gentle), I really have no idea what the hell I’m doing.

  • These designs are printed on white opaque tights, SO what that mean is that there will be some voids around the crotch, the waist and the toes. This isn’t really a big deal except if you wear tights as pants. Uhh then I would recommend…not…doing that?
  • These are also printed by a third party. I will personally inspect each and every pair before I send them out and will probably call up my supplier and shriek at them if they are horrible. But I will not be able to correct certain things (like the voids in printing in the point 1).
  • These aren’t thin, but they’re not exactly the thickest tights either. THEY ARE QUITE DURABLE THOUGH since I have worn mine for an entire day and they haven’t completely dissolve into nothing yet.
  • Handwash preferable, or machine wash on delicate. Cold water will always be A+ in preserving colors on your clothes. 

Okay I think that SHOULD BE GOOD. The price is $20/pair. Pre-orders for these will run until April 6, 2013. Real life example and first reaction are here in case you are curious. Information on how pre-orders work are here in my FAQ.

OH MY GOD fuck I completely forgot to mention. Tights come in S/M and L sizes!! So please let me know which size you want in your order. askgjhasg this is what happen when I go without coffee in the morning.

Please email me at sirensorders@outlook.com for a price quote/invoice/etc.

(why yes we did finally get a real business email after a year to keep things clean ohoho)

Hi hi~ Okay so I got kind of an announcement to make(AND I GUESS IT’S KIND OF BAD NEWS SO IDK). On March 1st, I’m going to raise the price of my bows to $4 for pre-orders and $6 regularly priced. 

Why am I doing this?

Okay so as some of you might know if you have stuck around with me for a while. I started the bow business as a hobby since I couldn’t find any acceptable hair accessories for myself with my favorite superheroes on it (AND I STILL SOMETIME CAN’T. WHERE ARE MY CAPTAIN MARVEL STUFF) and for the past year (I started back in November 2011!) it has kinda exploded ALL OVER THE PLACE?? I literally have been paying out of my own pocket for the past few months trying to keep up but at this point I…am losing money more than I am earning them and UHH THIS IS HOW BUSINESSES GO BANKRUPT LMFAO.

I am trying to get my bows in more store locations (Australia I am looking at you) to make it more convenient for people to get a hold of them since I can’t leave Los Angeles as much as I want to, even for cons. And to do this I need more than the $30 that is currently in my bank account. I FEEL KINDA GUILTY RAISING UP THE PRICE since I know we’ve all been comfortable with it for the past year but I do hope that you guys will be supportive of this decision and that I’m not stepping on too many toes.

(In other news, we’re…finally getting nice ass packaging so THAT’S SOMETHING, RIGHT)

(Also also tights are gonna be $20/pair for the pre-orders since people have been asking for those too and the info for that should go up at the same time as the info for the Hobbit bows)

(Also also also yes I am working on the Doctor Who/Sherlock bows and expect some of them to be shipped out this weekend)

Hi hi~ Just letting you guys know that the bow pre-orders ARE CLOSED. If you have emailed me, I will get back to you as soon as I can :’) It’s been kind of an emotionally taxing last couple of days on my part and I’m trying my hardest to get through everything lmfao…ANYWAY if you emailed me, you are in, don’t worry about it. Also if anyone is interested, my etsy is updated and I will be putting the Sherlock/DW ones on there if you missed out earlier. 

PS: All of my stores are also updated so if you are around the area, you should swing by. They all should have my Sherlock/DW designs there. For a list and addresses of them, please check out my FAQ

PSS: I am like 100% sure I’m gonna do custom tights now lmfao so those will be in production when life stop trying to push me off of a cliff.

Some quick announcements

So this is basically the situation with me and Spoonflower right now:

UGH SO I GUESS I’m gonna keep my pre-order open for….A BIT. Cause I really wanted to have samples done and ready so people can actually SEE WHAT THEY’RE BUYING but damn son. Damn. MOST UPSET. Also apologizes if you have visited any of the shops that stock my bows cause….they are all sold out….once again. SPOONFLOWER…………….big sad sigh.

Anyway my table flipping aside. I’ll be ordering a sample of the tights to check for quality and if I find they are acceptable I might be adding custom tights to my shop in the future :’) I don’t really want to sell something to anyone without testing them out first. (so in a less professional note that mean I’ll be buying a pair for myself and run around LA for a day and see if they won’t be torn to shreds)

All of the pre-orders are shipped out!

Thank you so much for your cooperation even though I honestly didn’t deserve it C’: Next round of pre-orders will be tentatively be around the first week of January! Cheers!
