Project Update: quick note - design changes before bulk production
Hello hello! 2 things I wanted to update you on that will be adjusted before production + 1 on thing I'd like your feedback on:
- I am changing the string loop that is used to be the keychain attachment for the rainbeanies to a ribbon loop. This will give the stitches more to hold onto and make them more secure!
- I am removing the thread sculpting details from the toes of the rainbeanies feet. I found that it isn't super noticeable and is likely to cause issues with the toebean embroidery causing more b-grades if kept.
And then the final detail: my manufacturer is worried that the large amount of applique on critter's tail may not turn out well for bulk production, so we are thinking of either switching it to 3 colors like taffy's tail, or switching it to sublimation printing instead of applique stripes. I wanted to check on your opinion on this before proceeding with one or the other!
- for 3 stripes, we're changing critter's original design, so we'd have to choose which three colors to use. I think going for either pink, yellow, and blue, or orange, green, and purple would look best!
- for sublimation printing, it'll have to be printed on white fabric, so you'll see the white at the bottom of the fur. this will ultimately have a softer effect though since there will be no embroidery.
To show you an example of what the sublimation printing looks like, here's a picture of a scrapped rainbeanies character who had sublimation printed rainbow ears.
After we get this detail sorted out we'll be ready to start production! :D
