Question 1

What is a preorder and how long will it take?

Accepted Answer

Preorders are items ordered early before the final items are produced. Usually this is a doll that has been sculpted and has had samples made, but the full edition has not yet been created.    Preorders can take from 2 to 6 months or even more to create and deliver. I used to make the dolls completely from start to finish myself. Because of health issues, I now have a casting company create the dolls for me using my hand sculpted dolls as a prototype.  With production and shipping the finished edition to me, then quality checking and repackaging the individual dolls (sometimes also blushing and adding clothing and such), the time needed to make a quality product cam take longer than originally planned.  All estimates for preorders are literally estimates. I do my best to get them shipped to their new homes as soon as possible and sometimes that means that they are home sooner than exspected as well *woo hoo!* Love it when this happens! :)

Question 2

Who makes these dolls and other products?

Accepted Answer

The items in The Mushroom Peddler's store are designed, created, sewed, printed, painted, drawn, and sculpted by Sarah B. Seiter. I have the editions of my dolls cast by a casting company to save my hands from damage, and occationally my mom sews some clothing for my dolls, but other than that I pretty much do all my creating, business managment, and marketing all by myself. I am the mother of 4 wonderful kids ages 17, 14, 9, and under 1 year, so things get really busy sometimes. I run my part time home business to help provide for my family :)

Question 3

Do you take commissions or do requests?

Accepted Answer

I often do take commissions, but it completely depends on how overwhelmed I am by my family activities and how full my commission list currently is. The new baby had made my time for this less available. You are welcome to ask :) I will let you know if I can do it or not.   Email me at TheMushroomPeddler@gmail.com to ask about this sort of thing.

Question 4

Are you willing to be a guest at a convention?

Accepted Answer

I love it when I am asked to be a guest at conventions. I love to travel and to meet people :) I have been a guest at many conventions in the past.    I have presented many classes and workshops, teaching things like: how to cast resin parts/make silicone molds, how to blush dolls with chalk pastels, how to make things for your dolls such as hats, and many more things.    Please contact me at TheMushroomPeddler@gmail.com if you would like me to be a guest at your convention so we can discuss the options.
