This is going to be a very special Art Panel Calyx. The Art Panels are digitized embroidery pieces that I create on my computer to be sewn by an embroidery machine. Instead of being one of a kind free-motion pieces like the custom embroidery, these can be produced in quantity and come in a a lower price point. Waterborn is a fundraiser for Waterbirth International, and will be priced at $199 each.Changed the Pricing
Thursday, March 6th, 2008I realized that it isn’t really fair to charge the same amount of $ for custom straps as I do for sending in fabric, because sending in the fabric is a lot more work for me and the shop. There’s a little hand cutting involved with the strap length stuff, but I think they were going to cut some extras to have on hand, so they can do it all together with the saw. With sending in fabric, they have to lay it out and cut it separately, and I have to drive it over there and stuff. So, I lowered the overall price, and made sending in your own fabric an add-on. It isn’t going to affect anybody who already ordered a custom, because the custom price has stayed the same.
It’s open!

I am very nearly ready to launch the real shop! It’s so exciting, I can only use exclamation marks!
But seriously, this is very exciting. I’m picking up all the headrests today, and the Standard sized carriers as well as a few custom length exchanges. If all goes well that site will go up tonight and if all of the payment and shipping stuff works then ordering can happen as soon as tomorrow morning! Oh, I hope I hope I hope….
With the new cart you will be able to easily place custom orders. New strap colors are there, plus sizing options and lots of dropdown menus for the fabrics I have and the option to send in your own. It should be fun.
As far as headrests go, I decided to offer them as a separate product or an add-on to the Calyx, the price has been adjusted accordingly. When the site is live I’m going to email everyone who is in my records as a Calyx owner with a coupon code for the cost of a headrest. Then you can decide if you actually want a headrest or if you want to apply that to something else. If you sold your Calyx…well, happy birthday! You can still use the code, and pass it on to your buyer. If you bought one second hand, you’ll just have to email me for the code. I’ll need to know who you bought it from or see a picture or something, OK? If you need more than one headrest, that would go in the comments section when you check out.
