how do i order a commission?

please submit a request through my commission request form. each month, limited spots are accepted based on preference and material availability. requests that are not accepted for one month may be accepted for the next. if your request is accepted, you will receive a price quote from me. you can secure your spot once you pay your initial deposit of $320. if i do not hear back from you or receive payment after 7 days, your spot will be rescinded and offered to someone else.

for more information, this document includes a detailed guide to ordering a custom commission. please note that if you want a doll with outfits/accessories, $320 is a deposit, not the full price. do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns before placing an order, as the deposit is nonrefundable!

what are your requirements for a doll trade?
  • you must be an established artist with your art clearly displayed on your page/website. this is to ensure both artists are fairly receiving their end of the bargain.
  • you must be based in the u.s. or have a u.s. shipping address i can send my work to. due to high tarriffs, i am not open to trading internationally at the moment.
  • your work must match the value of a custom blythe doll. some examples are: tattoos, other custom/handmade dolls, custom/handmade clothing items & accessories, custom-made ceramics & sculptures, handmade journals, and needle-felted plushies.
what are some doll care instructions?
  • please keep your blythe doll away from harsh chemicals like acetone (nail polish remover), as these can very easily strip away face paints and sealants.
  • avoid humidity, heat, and prolonged exposure to sunlight.
  • please be delicate with doll clothing and hair, as most of them are styled for display, not functionality.
  • keep away from small children. blythe dolls are not toys, but art pieces for teenage and adult collectors.
