Scope: Special Stocking Design - one unique stocking with a Portland, Maine theme!
I will come up with 3 designs for you to choose from. I will forward mockups for three designs to you by Wednesday 7/31/24. As we discussed, these will include sea creatures such as lobster, mussels, oysters, and clams (and possibly sardines) and some seaweed. (Not sure what I'll focus on yet, but whatever sea creatures translate best into a design)
The mockups will likely be .pdf images patched together and NOT my original artwork. After you select the mock-up you prefer, I will create an actual illustration which will then be turned into the final design upon YOUR APPROVAL. If you don't love the initial illustration you receive, just let me know what tweaks you'd like to see. Please do not feel bad if you want to see any changes made, After all, you're paying for this design and it will not hurt my feelings!
Once you approve the design I'll need to know what color you'd like the felted stocking to be and how many you'd like made. Due to time constraints at this time of year, I anticipate I can make 8 stockings total to be completed by the end of September. Each illustration will be recreated in needlefelt onto the stocking.
Each stocking is made by hand from wool roving wet felted around a template which is the shape of a stocking and measures approximately 16" in length and 12" in width from toe to heel. Each weighs approximately a pound. Each stocking will have a rope loop sewn into the top of the stocking so that it is ready to hang on the mantle!
Your final wholesale price for each stocking will be $75. I will gladly sew in your brand's labels upon receipt of the same.
Note: If you choose more than one design, there will be a $50 fee for each additional stocking to be put into production based on the approved design (over and above this initial $100 for the first design) as I would need to purchase more wool fiber for that design.
These "Initial Design" payments are non-refundable. Once you pay this invoice, I will spend at least a few hours illustrating your special designs and I will need to special order wool fiber specifically based on the color of stocking you choose.
Any stockings made based on these special collaboration designs will be non-refundable.
Thank you SO MUCH for reaching out to work together on this project, I am very excited to see these designs come together! (I am attaching images of the two current designs in our shop)
Thank you, Jennifer! Please let me know if you have any questions at all.
