Contacting me before ordering is encouraged but not always required. For quantities of more than 2 (regardless of method or material) you'll need to contact me beforehand.
Plush comms are open on a weekly basis, 'restocks' are on Fridays at 8pm EST
Handsewn
These plushies have layered details that are done by hand via additional fabric, embroidery, or fabric paint.
Facial features (eyes, eyebrows, markings) and other small details are typically done with fabric paint unless otherwise specified.
BITE-SIZED ($13):
Mini bean ~2" (5.5 cm) x 1.5" (4cm)
Note: Detailed designs will need to be simplified down and the mostly/all minky material will not be used for this option.
FELT ($22): Entirely made with felt
PARTIAL MINKY ($25) :
One color/only a small area (typically the face) will be done with minky. The rest will be done with felt
MOSTLY-ALL MINKY ($28) :
Most/all of the plush will be done with minky
Note: small/intricate details will most likely need to be done with felt (minky doesn't cut well on a small scale) or fabric paint
My minky selection is limited. Contact me BEFORE ordering the mostly-all option so I can make sure I have enough of and the right colors.
(Also let me know if you have any sensory issues!)
Coming Soon!
Sublimated
Designs are drawn and then printed on fabric using sublimation.
This option works best for designs that have:
-
gradients
-
unique patterns
-
details that would preferably be done with fabric rather than paint
Note:
-
DIY Design = design is provided by the buyer
-
DIY Sewing = buyer is responsible for sewing the plush (only printed fabric will be sent)

Frequently Asked Questions
More specific questions and answers regarding certain items can be found on the respective item pages.
How do I order?
Once you've purchased the option you want on Etsy, please send reference images of the character either over Etsy or to my email (mqcuriosities@gmail). If you're hoping to purchase off Etsy, please contact me.
How long will my commission take?
Turnaround largely depends on the complexity of your order and the type of product. Most items shouldn't take more than 2 weeks to complete. If more time is needed I'll be sure to communicate this with you, but please be patient. Note: turnaround time does not include shipping time for physical items.
When do custom plush orders restock? / Can you let me know when they're available again?
Restocks for plushies happen every Friday evening (~8pm EST) and are kept open until Monday morning (or until all slots for the week are filled).
I will not be contacting individually on availability. New orders are taken on a weekly basis, and that timeframe for restocks is stated in several places. If that day/timeframe does not work for you, and you're hoping to get an order in before a certain point, you may contact me and we can try to work something out.
If you're hoping to order on a platform other than Etsy, you may disregard this. Feel free to just contact me directly.
Will you make plushies of OC's/Pets/IRL people?
Yes, as long as a visual reference of some sort is provided, almost anything is fair game.
I will not, however, create plushies for IP's/groups/figures tied to or that promote hateful content/concepts Media with body horror or darker themes is generally okay, but please keep reference images PG-13 and any gore mild.
What's the difference between the different "squishability" options?
"Extra squishy/light" = stuffed entirely with polyfil with very little weight (similar to a squishmallow)
"Dense/compact"= more solid, harder to squish one handed
"Squishy"= middle ground of the above two
"Weighted" = squishy, but with a bit more weight (achieved with stuffing pellets)
Do you take rush orders / "I need this in less than a week, can you do that"?
No. I do not accommodate rushed timelines, and I do not appreciated being pressured to do so. Additionally, I cannot control nor guarantee the speed of the postal service. Please plan accordingly.
Where is my order coming from and how long will it take to get here?
Turnaround time largely depends on the complexity of your order. Most items shouldn't take more than 2 weeks to complete. If more time is needed, I'll be sure to communicate this with you but please have patience. Turnaround does not include shipping, as that varies depending on location.
Orders will be shipping from Midwest America via USPS. Shipping within the U.S. can take up to 1 week or more. For international orders, please allow up to one month for delivery. If there are any concerns regarding your order/shipping you are welcome to contact me, however once the package is out of my hands there's usually not too much else I can do.
If I buy multiple products can I get a discount? / Do you do discounts of any sort?
I am not a manufacturer, and this shop is run by a single person who handmakes everything. Unfortunately, multiple items means more work for me, so I do not give discounts on "bulk" quantities (which I also don't accept over a certain amount). There are discounts allowed for Patreon members, but otherwise they are not a regular occurance.
Do items come from a smoke and pet-free environment?
Yes! All items are from a smoke-free but pet-friendly (ie. dog & cat) space. I will ensure that your order is shipped out without pet fuzz, and all items can be washed, but if you have any allergies you may want to proceed with caution.
Can I share/post my commission once it's completed?
Yes! Once a comm is completed, you're free to share and use it however and wherever you see fit. (If you're on Tumblr or Instagram, feel free to tag me in your photos: @mqcuriosities)
What's your cancellation/refund policy?
You have up to 5 days to cancel a custom order for a full refund. After this period may be subject to partial payment. If I contact you regarding your order and do not receive a response within a week, your order will be automatically cancelled. After initial completion of the plush, you are allowed up to 3 minor changes (5 if no mockup was made). Additional changes and major revisions (changes that require resewing or replacing of multiple or base elements) are subject to the above fee
If no response is received within 1 week of presenting the finished product, it will be shipped as-is. At that point, no returns or refunds will be accepted.
Is there any way to tip you?
Yes! I have a Ko-Fi for this exact purpose. I can also accepts tips via PayPal or Venmo, or you can use the Add On listing on Etsy (via the "Artist Note" option, or any of the other options listed). If you're feeling generous, I also have a Patreon which also has some additional fun perks.
