Hey everyone!

As some of you may know, I'm trying to generate a lot of interest in faux fur accessories as I've been traveling the southeast this year and hitting conventions selling my wares. So far, so good! Just in time for the winter, I've come up with some cozy faux fur hooded scarves, as you guys can see from some of my recent submissions. They're really awesome!

As I'm practicing these faux fur hoods and gauging interest in them, I decided I wanted to hold a contest to not only spread the word, but add to my photographic portfolio of custom work as well. Here's where you guys come in! This contest is for one FREE hooded scarf, made to YOUR color request! Details and colors available on the hooded scarves can be found here:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/8621351.....-made-to-order

But what you get to choose is a little bit different from the listing! The winner gets to decide on the following:
- One color for the main hood
- One color for the scarf (that will wrap around your neck)
- One color for the fur on the ears
- One color for the lining (this will also be the inner ear color)

There's a small catch in that the colors MUST be solid, so no stripes, spots, or patterns. Realistic furs *may* be available, but will only be allowed if they are in stock, so if you would prefer a realistic looking fur, I can let you know what I have on hand.
You pay ONLY shipping costs for the hood ($12 for Priority Mail within the US, or $18 for international shipping via parcel post). That's it! Your hood will be completed and shipped within 3-4 weeks of the drawing.

Shipping cost for fox tails are $7 within the US, or $12 internationally.

You will be notified via note and/or a comment on FurAffinity if you win, so you do not have to be present for the live broadcast in order to win. Winners will also be announced in a journal entry posted on Wednesday, November 23rd at approx. 9pm Eastern time. So if you miss the broadcast, check back here to see if you've won!
