FAQ
1. What are these?
Stitchpunks are the original full sized creations!
Pocketpunks are smaller "travel sized" versions!
Frankenpunks are the randomly rolled ones! They are a bit more chaotic and can come in Stitchpunk or Pocketpunk sizes.
They're also often referred to as dolls/art dolls, Punks, comfort objects, or nightmare guardians!

2. How do I get one?
The store sells out rather quickly, but I have regular shop updates! I announce the listing day/time, what dolls will be going up, and pricing in my Instagram posts! I also try to keep the next restock date updated at the top of this site!
3. How much do they cost?
They are typically between $75-99 for Pocketpunks and $99-130+ for Stitchpunks depending on extras. I list specific item prices ahead of time in my Instagram post descriptions! There is also a "Next Restock" highlight on my Instagram that previews the items(+prices) currently announced for the next restock!
4. Do you do commissions?
I'm currently accepting custom requests using this form: https://forms.gle/kmLavM5Xj1QaBpT19
Customs aren't often available since commissions take a LOT more mental energy and time to complete!
5. How much is shipping / Do you ship overseas?
I do ship worldwide! Typical shipping costs are:
$6 within the US
$20 for International shipping
6. How big are they?
Pocketpunks are typically 6-9 inches tall.
Stitchpunks typically range from 18-22 inches tall.
I'm often asked about making an even bigger one. It might happen ~Eventually~
7. What materials do you use?
I use 100% non-stretchy quilting cottons and Polyfil stuffing. Frankenpunks are typically made from parts that didn't quite work for a Stitchpunk or from fabric scraps too small for a full Stitchpunk.
I typically get my materials from JeanMariesFabrics, my local Joann's, or from folks sending in fabrics to my PO box!
8. Can I send you materials?
Absolutely! Most of the fabric I receive from fans goes to making Frankenpunk parts and I love when people recognize fabrics/buttons that they've sent in!
My PO Box is:
FloppyCatCreations
P.O. Box 412
Worcester, MA 01613
9. Can I make my own?
Inspiration is everywhere! I don’t mind folks making similar items for personal use but I am very protective of my style and don't want copies of my dolls or patterns being sold or otherwise dispersed.
If you do make one for yourself I’d love to see what you come up with!
10. What are the crystals for?
I add crystals in the chest of most of the Punks as their heart. Some people believe different crystals have positive properties. I love when my work can be used as a comfort item or meditation buddy! I might give a more complete summary of the different crystals I use in the future!
