A late CF post and the start of a new era?
15 years ago
Yeah, totally late on the Confuzzled thing, keep it short - it was great fun except for one or two little annoyances. Made friends with a tipsy pair of ladies who thought Skye was the cutest thing ever ^^
Got some good feedback on my suits, nothing fell apart thankfully, just a loose claw on Moshi's handpaw. I will be making padded trousers to help Rega and Moshi get into their suits more easily and this will also stop the padding moving about.
The new era thing? Probably just exaggerating a bit :) I've learnt a few things while making the last few suits about padding and airbrushing and such and I feel I'm ready to move on a bit and become more professional. Kaz and I have invested in a new gluegun and airbrush kit (with compressor) and I'm in the process of going through my templates and replacing the ones that are falling apart.
I'm still keen to do a few more personal projects (Kiki will be my next suit hopefully) and I have a few commissions from friends for tails and paws. I'll hopefully be selling in the dealers den at RBW soI want to make things for that and I want to set up a little shop on www.thedealersden.com auction site.
I still find the thought of doing partial and fullsuit commissions a little scary - I don't want to make something and have the customer shout at me because it's falling apart :( but I also find them exciting to do. So I think I'll be taking it slow on the commission front, one slot to start in June and finish late July/early August and one to start late August and finish early October-ish.
namugriff has dibs on the June slot, if he still wants it :)
Following this post will be a boring post with my terms of service in it. Probably boring but it needs to be read if you want to commission me :)

don't be silly :P you kaz and fox do an awesome job, you delivered you last batch of suits with awesome quality and you got no hassle from me now did ya? :P (i hope O.=.o) just take it at your own pace as you usually do and you'll all be fine!
You have nothing to be afraid of =D
Having gotten up close to each one for the photo shoots while making sure nothing was showing the quality was really good, and what I would expect from a maker that takes their time.
