Something personal to begin with...

 Who is Limitless Endeavours?
Limitless Endeavours is a licensed business in the state of Texas, USA. It was founded in 2012 and is a two-person team, consisting of Jonathan Goolsby and I - Barbara Goolsby. We are husband and wife, I however grew up in Germany and migrated in 2012 to the United States. We have different roles in our full-time Arts & Crafts business. My husband is responsible for the online store, customer eMails, as well as frequent jobs in our workshop. I primarily work in the workshop and packing station, take care of DeviantART, Facebook & Twitter, give quotes and do frequently customer eMails. We do have no employees at this time, but are planning to expand in future. Besides our Arts & Crafts business, we take over the family ranch and will expand in hunting and taxidermy.

Our working hours are MO - FRI, 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM
We check eMails frequently on weekends and holidays.
Shipping days are mainly mondays and thursdays, but can vary depending on the amount of orders that are compleeded.

 Shop/Orders

What do you offer in general?
We do offer unique art dolls, Doll DIY-Kits, as well as the service of molding and casting YOUR* art!

(*Please check the point “Commissions“)

Why does it take some days until my order gets shipped?
The majority of our products are produced after request. Since we are a two-person team, it can take a couple days to finish your order. However, we try to ship out as fast as possible. Please be patient, especially if your order is somewhat larger.

Why is the shipping so “high“?
We do ship through our local postal office and deal with the current charges of the mail service. Also, please don't forget that we have to buy boxes, packing materials and tape. All this is included in the shipping. Heads up: We are now offering a cheaper shipping option in our store!

 Commissions

Are you open for freelance work?
Yes! We are open for freelance work (molding/casting) any time! We use platinum silicone rubbers and resins in different colors from smooth-on. Please send your detailed request to barbara.goolsby@aol.com and include information about the original‘s material, measurements and pictures! We do not mold originals containing sulfur!

Are you open for doll commissions?
Please check my front page to check for open slots!

I really like a DIY, but can I only purchase the resin parts?
Sure! This option should be available in our web store www.limitlessendeavours.com  on each DIY-Kit.

How much does a custom commissioned doll cost? Do you have a price list?
We have no price list. We do give quotes individually, depending on kind of doll, size, and materials. Please keep in mind that each doll is entirely handmade and that it takes weeks of preparation and work, to make your dream doll reality.

How long does it take to make my doll?
It takes about 40 hours that I work off and on on your order. Time can vary though from project to project.

What materials will my custom commissioned doll be made of?
We use a wide variety of materials to match your expectations, depending on the price you are willing to pay for.

Materials we use for more expensive dolls:
Durable resin casts
Everlasting plastic ball joint armature
Taxidermy & printed glass eyes
High quality fabrics & faux furs with additional airbrushing

Materials we use for less expensive dolls:
Sculpey parts
Wire armature/no armature
Hand-painted clear resin eyes & eyes painted onto the face
High quality fabrics & faux furs

Feel free to mix materials: Durable armature + sculpey parts + taxidermy eyes etc.. Be flexible - so are we!

I saw a doll you previously made and really liked the paint job, can you make me a duplicate?
To be honest, it is not possible to "duplicate" a previously made doll. We mix the colors custom for each doll and duplicating a previously created paint job is not possible. Even fur/fabric colors vary from time to time (dye job in the fabric companies). We can however create a similar doll for you!

You have no commission slots open but still add sphynx doll commissions to it? Why?
Sphynx doll commissions are sold via our web store www.limitlessendeavours.com and are therefore regular shop orders. Those will always be added to the current working list, regardless of the slot status on DA.
