FBOTM June: Feast of Dreams Interview (FNN)
14 years ago
Briefly describe your history in the furry fandom.
While I don't consider myself a proper furry, I have a lot of furry friends. I go to FC every year, and own several of my own mascot style costumes. I enjoy many aspects of the fandom (costuming, art, and imagination). I made my first animal type costume in 1998 (it was a Cats costume replica, from the musical.)
When did you build your first costume and what was it?
My first costume was probably Inigo Montoya from the Princess Bride (made at age 10 or so). My first cats costume has already been covered. I then went on to make a fox in the cats style. (This is the costume responsible for the notorious "jumping fox" photos from FC2004: http://www.flickr.com/photos/feasto.....7623494432552/ ) As for my first mascot type costume, that would be Finwood, my otter. I made her in 2005. http://www.flickr.com/photos/feasto.....7623126078572/
How many fursuits have you been paid to build?
I tend to build more pieces than full costumes. At this point, I've honestly lost count. If I had to guess, it would be somewhere close to 50.
What is your construction method of choice for for head building?
I like to work in foam on a balaclava base. I also enjoy cold foam. I like to keep my heads really compact, and a nice mix of realistic and toony. My heads look like my art.
What is your average price range?
You can find my pricing info here! http://feastofdreams.fatcow.com/mas.....mmissions.html
Who was your favorite to build?
My gosh, hard question! I really love Trixie the Huskie and Leeloo the mutt dog:

Nox is one of my personal characters that I have had for years and years (she's been around in my written work since I was in elementary school.) She was a unique challenge because she is all black. She's feline in form, but she's actually an alien from the Star Wars world called a Mashi Horansi. Since there aren't many "pictures" of them out there, I had fun creating my own feline species based on lots of different critters. http://www.flickr.com/photos/feasto.....7625350147204/
I'm also quite excited about the wraith I am creating for my husband and myself (life sucking space vampires from the Stargate Atlantis show.) http://www.flickr.com/photos/feasto.....s/tags/wraith/ Alas, no finished shots of those two at this point as they are still in progress!
What makes you unique as a builder and why should people choose you?
I am a costumer by trade, with a formal education, and a HUGE range of skills. I love working on accessories and clothing to go along with suits. I don;t use a lot of on-line tutorials, and as a result have developed by own build style. I'm always inventing as I create. I believe my style has developed into something unique, and I am a personable, professional business woman.
