Spring is almost here, hard to believe right? Time flies!
It's another year of Covid, although, things are getting better there are new problems arising. You've all heard the news, INFLATION INFLATION INFLATION...AND GAS PRICES.
Let me just update everyone on the Crochet Doll situation if you are not following us on Social Media. We had a surge for requests for crochet dolls when the last blog posted. For that, I thank you on behalf of my friend. I had spoken to her and she updated me on what was happening in her life since the last time we spoke.
She had written a book about a little over a year ago and she has had lots of success with it. The only thing about the book, for most of us anyway, is that it is written in Portuguese. Otherwise, I would not mind working something out to have the book available on my site. The jury is still out on when, if possible, would the book be translated into other languages.
As for my friend, she has gone on to OWN a book publishing company and she wrote a second book that is also successful! It's simply mind-blowing how far she's come. Doing crochet dolls and selling them was her way to support herself and her child. The success of her first book has led her to bigger entrepreneurial journey. Of course, this came with a little help from selling those amazingly cute crochet dolls. I had become her biggest supporter with the help of YOU ALL whom have purchased the dolls. I am proud of her accomplishments and glad I was a small part of her growth. From crochet dolls to support herself to getting a book published to finally having a publishing company. That is such an outstanding story and we are proud of her success and growth.
Now here we are today placing another round of dolls. She expressed that her new ventures has pulled her away from doing the craft she did for us. Not only that but since she had been doing this craft for nearly a decade, it had caused alot of strain on her arms and hands to the point where it almost becomes a health concern. She was happy to report that she can still do the dolls but would only do it for a select few on occasion but not actively doing them at the level she did before. Her new focus will be her book publishing company.
I was really grateful for her taking this next round and with the surge of orders that came in, we felt it was best to cut this short so we can get them shipped to the U.S. at a reasonable time and then ship them out to those who placed orders. The site currently has listings that will only offer the amount of dolls for those listings that we are anticipating to have in stock once they arrive. This includes the dolls that were already ordered. If you placed a PRE-ORDER you will receive one, guaranteed. Right now, we are about a month out before they are completed and shipped to the U.S. I hope you guys do not mind the wait. It is worth it and its for a great cause. I make nothing on these dolls. I do this in support of her craft and this may be the last time we do this. It will ultimately depend on how she feels and whether she can do more in the future. My best guess is that her new ventures will not allow the time for that anymore.

What's Coming Soon?
I am sure you might be wondering what I am working on next. Right? Well, I can only give some broad details on what you can expect but I cannot go into details much until we are even closer to presentation day.
Lilith. Yeah, I know we already have a great Lilith pendant. Do you know how hard that was to create? Doing jewelry in a 3D form is much harder than the items that are flat. It takes alot of effort and a great team to make it possible. So although we have LILITH right now, it is time to restock it soon too.
Since it was time to restock it, we also decided to create an updated version. Perhaps you may like the current one but we felt that its best to create a slightly different version too. Who knows, some people might like the new version.
What you may not have heard yet, however, is that I am finally making progress on creating LUCIFER. Long ago, I posted a picture of a piece I was calling, "Lucifer Descends". It was a great looking design. However, we ran into problems and it was placed on hold for a very long time. Now the time has come where I am moving forward with it now. I am simply calling this one, "Lucifer" or "Lucifer Morningstar" perhaps you can choose a proper way to call this next piece. It will be much like the Lilith necklace. Can you picture it?
Perhaps not yet. It's very hard to visualize it because I don't share the details. Nobody has ever done a piece like this.
Do you guys remember this? There is a very long and complicated story of what happened with this. It was due last October. Unfortunately, the rug was pulled out from underneath us and it literally disrupted our plans to bring this out.
Since then, I decided to start over. I recreated this into a much better version of what we see here. Let's just say we also shifted from what we would normally do and go into a different direction. I keep mentioning "direction" in this blog and there is a reason for that.
We are growing and moving away from what the theme of the site was. We will keep our product line in tack to reflect our roots but we are also extending into a wider audience that is not always "Satanic". I am referring to GOTH and PUNK lifestyles. Sure, we will keep our Occult image, after all, I am still a Satanist but I also know there are others that would want something that THEY would want to wear. Something that represents THEM. Just like our brand originally represented Satanism in the beginning, we hope to move towards producing items for others to share in the glory of what this brand can produce next.
So getting back to the pic above. Expect something like this soon. It will be a slow roll-out. Maybe...LOL. Gotta leave something for the excitement to come, don't you think?
Anyway, regarding the direction we are taking, I will simply make a short announcement now to say that we are making changes not just in the products we produce or in how we operate but also in our name....or maybe not so.
Sigil of Baphomet Satanic Jewelry is likely going into RE-BRANDING. We can discuss this on the next blog post.
