What is the Collectors’ Circle?
The Collectors’ Circle is imagined as a mutually beneficial relationship. Running an independent studio means riding the waves of feast and famine, some months are full, some are quiet. If you're someone who already loves this work and plans to shop here eventually, the Collectors Circle helps stabilize my income and helps you collect my work. Every dollar you put in comes back worth more than what you paid, because I want to reward you for believing in me.
Every payment becomes shop credit, plus 50% more. $5 a month gives you $90 in credit after a year, $10 a month gives you $180, etc. It's redeemable at any point in the cycle.
Credit never expires. Spend it next week or in 3 years, no "use it or lose it."
Redeemable on anything in the shop. Use it whenever you're ready, on whatever you want.
One exception: commission credit is applied at standard value, because commissions are an added level of complexity. The 50% bonus applies to everything else.
Money spent on monthly membership credits to purchases, plus 50 percent. $5/month over a year is $60, which means $90 in store credit. $50'/month becomes $900 in credit after a year.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No pressure — your credit never expires, so it just sits there until you're ready to use it. You won't lose anything by pausing or subscribing on and off.
-
Any credit you've already earned is yours to keep and use anytime. Canceling stops future credit from accumulating, but it doesn't take away what you've already built up.
-
It's an incentive, not an obligation. There's no requirement to spend your credit quickly or at all — it's simply worth more than what you paid in, whenever you decide to use it.
-
Commission pricing is set individually for each piece because of the added complexity, so credit toward commissions is applied at standard value. The 50% bonus applies to everything else in the shop.
-
A discount lowers the price of one purchase. This subscription builds ongoing credit over time, so the more you subscribe, the more buying power accumulates — even if you're not ready to spend it yet.
-
Yes you can, though such opportunities will be rare.
-
All credit earned through the subscription remains valid for as long as the shop is active, regardless of whether the subscription program itself continues. I can't make guarantees about circumstances outside anyone's control, but my intent is simple: credit you've earned is credit you keep.
