Studio Vlog #5

[@laryssasilva01]

I know that pricing is intimidating, but don't undersell your work and your effort! Whoever buys your jacket isn't just getting a jacket: they are getting a custom, one of a kind item, that took hours upon hours to make. They'll know it isn't cheap fast fashion, it's a product of intense labor and love made by an artist they like. The same goes for your other products. It's scary, but you got this!!

[@SheepasaurusRex]

nothing like an hour (plus) long video to get motivated to craft! i'm so hype to learn more about the future shop

[@RattusRattus]

🥰🥳🥰🥰

[@justleachy5258]

these studio vlogs have literally taken me out of my year long slump and i've actually started being productive and creative for the first time in so long. i really appreciate these vids. keep up the good work, ur doing great !! :) super excited to buy from the shop

[@RattusRattus]

Wow! That’s amazing and very exciting - congrats !!! Getting out of a art slump is the best 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 thank you for this comment it’s extremely encouraging 🥰❤️

[@thathuman333]

Its so interesting and inspiring to watch your progression, especially as a fellow artist. Thank you for the updates!!!

[@RattusRattus]

Thank you so much!! This means a lot 🥺❤️

[@rowantree1197]

I think that you will sell all the goods on the same day when they become available for purchase. There are a lot of people here who are delighted with your talent and bright personality...When I came across your channel, it was dead, but I subscribed anyway and was happy when the videos started coming out again. I'm ecstatic that you're releasing such long videos now and much more often. Each of your videos reminds me of a conversation with a friend. In the real world, I don't have friends with such interests and often feel lonely. So thank you for everything you do! Love and blessings from Russia.

Wow wow wow they bless us with 90 min of content on this gloomy Wednesday ❤❤❤. I’m so glad everything is going well for you!

'like a soft sad snail..' made me cackle omgee

[@girlgotswag2]

So early!!! Don’t feel bad for not having the shop up yet, we would rather you feel comfortable with everything before you start it up ☺️

[@ren_it_rains]

I love the collages you made for your website! I personally kinda hate that so many things I interact with day to day feel so corporate and dull. I love it when artists and creators make something that feels human and bold and full of personality!

[@frogem209]

So excited for your shop opening! Merlin the frog plush is so adorable and fun 🐸💚 I absolutely love all your linocut rat designs. Huge kudos for all the hard work you've been putting in behind the scenes. The product photos and website look amazing.

[@michaeljagger4512]

I freaking love to watch your videos in the morning, you make my day better 💗💗💗

[@Wolfskaine]

I've been taking a lot of comfort in putting these on while I'm working on inventory for my first market. I'm losing my freaking marbles over here, but watching you go for it with setting up your shop is super motivating. Thank you for the company! It's always a hoot to watch your vids! 🦇💫

[@RattusRattus]

Woohoo good luck on your first market!!! Thanks for the kind comment 🥺 it’s so fun to know that there’s other people in the same boat - we can do it !! 🥳🥰❤️

[@Lyd1aaa]

This is so cool! I love the way your planner looks, the pink with the death metal font is so cool. Your videos are so inspiring to me, thanks so much!! Super excited for your shop launch x3

[@michaeljagger4512]

Oh gosh, your perfume collection is fantastic!!

[@l1v1ngd34db0yy]

your content always inspires me with finding my own diy path and expression!! youre really talented and shouldn't feel too bad about the pricing since you're putting so much effort and time into everything 🖤🖤

[@mothwood7055]

so excited for the shop! by the time i commented this you put the Relics of the Rat linktree in the description, so i put in my email to be updated when you open the shop :) good luck Rabbit!

[@JaylaGann]

i love the bunny rat bat wood thing as it is

[@Dead._Lynx.]

AAHHHHH i'm so excited for your shop to open up!! I can't wait to buy your stuff 😭😭

[@AshleyIsArtsy]

Binged a bunch of your videos from the last few weeks at work today- I am so excited for you!! And to hopefully buy some of your wares haha. The website is looking. SO CUTE!

[@downstairsgearnguitars-kc7uq]

I get so creative when I watch your videos :D

[@kadawalden]

Yes! I read everything VC Andrews when I was 13, 14 😮 BTW, I loved the Heaven series, (except for the last book). Definitely pass on the 1987 Flowers in the Attic movie. It’s crap compared to the books. Also I’ll be checking your site every day! Can’t wait to buy! PS. Your hair looks amazing!😍🤩 -Kada

[@biankeithasstar]

Love your planner. Your templates are cute ☺️

[@green.velvetdreams]

late comment so the website has launched by now but OMG! Looking at the website, I would never have guessed you were unsure about any of it! Like the collages and descriptions are so cute and well done and 'you'! I don't think you need to worry so much about what is professional! Doing what you like is what will make an iconic and recognizable brand!

[@green.velvetdreams]

sidenote, I totally read the flowers in the attic trilogy when I was preteen and it was kind of scarring but now I really want to try some VC Andrews books again now that I'm an adult and won't process the content in an unhealthy way

[@yuugosvida]

I love to listen to your vlogs, they make me sit down and continue my own diy projects

[@gabby2018]

Woahh im so early lol! Ive been following your tutortials and taking inspo from your other studio vlog vids and i just finished them all! what perffect timing

[@arandomchild1230]

AHHH I can't remember if this is the video (I've been watches your vlogs- they're awesome) but if you wanna be doing SOMETHING so you're not dying of boredom at a computer you can get one of the little cycle things you can do under the desk while you work :)

[@margothgalore]

I love these vlogs. 🖤 Its like working from home with my bestie. I'm very excited for you and your shop, you've been putting so much work into it, I'm sure it'll be a big success! 😊 Good luck and enjoy the process, we love to see it. 😁🖤

[@cathygraham4609]

ty for updates. so excited for you. i struggle with pricing too . its my biggest stressor

[@a.parker7362]

Hey Rabbit! Totally excited to see your shop no matter the price because I'm a sucker for your dolls. In regards to graphic design, I would not recommend things like Canva simply because their templates are too rigid. Especially when it comes to making the coffin tags, it won't allow it because all templates are bound to grid snapping (that movement where it wants to stay a certain place). It may be better to find other programs that allow full autonomy in designing like Procreate or Photoshop (if you can find a free vers.) Also, if you're worried about shipping it may good to look into Shippo or EcoEnclose as potentially cheaper options. Hope that helps!

[@clarkelodge8428]

im so excited to buy something once the shop is live! love from nova scotia ^_^

[@dianefields295]

Oh my goodness, you plan set up for sell by in future. I love your collections.

[@raquelrossiter5911]

You could vaccum seal the plushies so they're smaller to ship? If you tested it to make sure they reinflate nicely after a week, and warn people that that's how they come I know I wouldn't mind. Maybe even have a cheaper shipping option for if they are vaccum sealed compared to being shipped in a massive box 😊

[@bughangout]

RAAAAHHHH IM SO EXCITED

[@DeityDemon]

42 minutes in, loving this vlog! Just wanted to say I just dyed my hair black too so we're accidental twinsies! Lol wonderful as always, I'm soooo excited for your shop! I might comment again when I finish this video but it's been so nice to have to watch, I absolutely love your long vlogs!!!

[@alkalinedogdaughter]

ive been watching this series as my background noise for my character design class plates and yipeeee i like it ❤❤❤

[@dianefields295]

I like your planner book what you need. Smart!!

[@RattusRattus]

Thank you !!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@xxgrizzlyxx5145]

An hour long video always keeps me calm⚙️

[@Alice_Addams13]

So hyyyype!

[@Hellblazer1138Audio]

21:19 lol. I'm editing videos and listening to this one. I'm glad you've found some Billy Martin/Poppy; he is a really good writer. They are going to be at NecronomiCon in Providence this year & I was thinking about going and maybe get some of my books signed. You got farther than me into Ghost Story. I just couldn't keep my attention on it. I would recommend the short story anthology The Dodd Mead Gallery of Horror. A few of my favorites were "Death to the Easter Bunny!" & "Talent". Anthologies are also a great way to find new authors. They also aren't as much of a commitment than a novel(especially some of Barkers!). I found PZB through the Borderlands anthology series with the story "His Mouth Will Taste of Wormwood" Also you might like Barker's Great and Secret Show and the sequel Everville.

[@RattusRattus]

Whoa! Thank you for the recommendations !!! (And also for commenting , and all the work you do - I got so worried when your videos disappeared for a moment there - I’m glad your able to keep posting) That sounds like an awesome time I hope you get your books signed !! I’m excited to do some more listening 👌 thank u again !!

[@Ezra_The_Ghost_Cat]

For feeling less tired at screens i would recommend some blue light glasses, i dont know how much theyll help but its worth a try!

[@Lunareon]

Regarding staring at a screen: Take breaks, like max 45mins of work and then a 15min break. You might also want to invest in glasses that filter screen light.

[@Alice_Addams13]

And you are absolutely no tech dummy, you're doing great.

[@DeityDemon]

Hi hi just wanted to pop in with a lil info! If it says Net Weight that's without packaging, and if it says Gross Weight that would be including packaging. I think most of the time they do want the Gross weight (so package included) unless otherwise stated, so you're good!

[@AwceyTheMer]

You should make and sell patches with some of your linocut designs! (With fabric-specific linocut printing ink) They are super cool I wanna put one on a jacket

[@RattusRattus]

@@AwceyTheMer THEY MAKE LINO SPECIFIC FABRIC PRINTING INK????? This changes the game!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for this info 😮😮😮😮

[@rubbishratt]

u could maybe ask family and friends about some boxes/packaging they might have laying around!!

[@MisUnderstandingUs]

When I'm staring at a screen, I realize I have to have another light source off to the side. Or something to look over that will take my eyes away from the screen. Lots of water also eye drops and blankets

[@LindsayDamnit]

i would definitely buy a set of linoprints!

[@emmasalisbury7233]

I've never been so early!!

[@Violet-qf8dr]

I got a bunch of blank Jibbitz and have been making Croc charms. I have some where I literally glued a plastic gem or googly eye and some that I cast myself with resin. I charge $2 for one and they are pretty popular. I bet you would be able to make some really cool ones.

[@LindsayDamnit]

when i need to iron large and flat, i like to clear the kitchen table, lay down a large towel and iron there, it helps a lot with large items. but beware.... the towel will hold moisture, so after you are done, you have to remove the towel from the table and dry the table, or it will ruin the table. hope that helps in the future, love ya.

[@RattusRattus]

This is really good advice - I’ll have to try this thank you !!!

[@ladycrush069]

YAAAAYYYY

[@emmagauger499]

would you consider making patches of your shop logo and/or your linocuts in the future? they’re so cute :)

[@RattusRattus]

Definitely! I just need to expirement with materials and mediums ! 🥰 (and thank you - Caige is so talented !!!!)

[@MaggotLou]

About stickermule, I know ethics and beliefs are really important to you so I’d recommend looking into them more. A lot of stuff has come out about them being avid trump supporters.

[@RattusRattus]

DUDE I was so annoyed when I saw that ig post 🥲 first and last order for sure ; I talk about it more in my upcoming vlog but they are seriously idiots

[@MaggotLou]

@@RattusRattus Yeah it really sucks 😭 I just wanted to let you know incase you hadn’t heard about it

[@annethropophagy]

This was such a fun video! If you're looking for more fun audiobooks, try T Kingfisher. "The twisted ones" is my favourite, but they're all really good. Her fantasy is lots of fun (and inclusive) too. I know exactly what you mean about weird audiobook descriptions. And I know what faucet scene you mean in drawing blood too. It makes sense in the book, but what the hell. I think the most baffling one I've ever read is "he gave her a male smile." What does that even mean?

[@RattusRattus]

I LOVED THE TWISTED ONES !!!!!!! To be honest the best t kingfisher imo - i tried a few others but seriously I Devoured that one it was SO GOOD

[@annethropophagy]

@@RattusRattus yeah. It's my favourite too! I sped through it. When I finally figured out what the clicky "woodpecker" noise was it really gripped me.

[@Spooky-Sara]

Rabbit, have you read any of Stephen King's works? I absolutely adore his writing style for a lot of books, although some of them (IT, The Shining) tend to drag on a bit.

[@darknesskittie]

Hey I´m so happy for you, can´t wait to check out and order your creations. Can I ask how much it would be shipping to Europe?

[@RattusRattus]

@@darknesskittie it will really depend on the size / weight of the package ! I should be setting up this shipping app in the next few days that should accurately automatically calculate everything but as of right now I’m not super sure the ballpark yet 😅

[@darknesskittie]

@@RattusRattus Thank you for your quick reply.

[@dianefields295]

Maybe your friends know how to make order packing/boxes with shipping is cost lots of expensive. I hope you will be make it work out.
