After seeing all of the good feedback of the artist Blinkeke (her DoA handle) who is behind MonstroDesigns I decided to make my first commission ever and I commissioned Blinkeke on DoA to make two wigs for my new Brownie. I commissioned the wigs back on January 15th and at that time she informed me that it would be 3-4 weeks before she could get it done. At that time I was in no hurry, and the price was right, so I had no problem waiting.
Around February 20th, it had been a little over a month since I ordered so I PM’d her on DoA to inquire about my order. She got back to me and told me that the wigs were done and she was just waiting for a sunny day to photograph them for me. So again I patiently waited, and now here in the middle of March, I finally hear back, and it’s not that she is requesting payment or preparing to send, but rather that she is ill and she has decided to cancel my order because it was too old!!
Needless to say I PM’d her back and expressed my disappointment in the business dealings, and that I was sorry, but I was going to have to leave her negative feedback on DoA for what I feel is flaking on my commission. I am very disappointed in what has happened, especially after I had only heard good things about her from others on DoA and elsewhere that she made quality wigs for tinies. I was expecting her to be professional and follow through with my order. I have to admit that this whole affair has soured me on commissioning artisans, and I definitely will not order from MonstroDesigns ever. I would also suggest anyone considering to commission her, to give it a second thought, and I certainly would not pay in advance for anything.
