Suits Chosen + Keeping Busy + Sale Soon!
13 years ago
Real quick, I just wanted to say thank you to those of you who took the time to comment on our last journal with your opinions. We read every one of them and appreciated your feedback. It'll help us in the future when building our heads, as now we have a better idea of what you all expect regarding comfort and visual accuracy!
And just so everyone knows, we have chosen the two people to fill our partial and fullsuit slots, and they have accepted! So expect to see a lion and another owl soon. :D Deposits have already been sent, furs have been ordered, and work has begun. Our partial/fullsuit slots are now full and will not reopen until these two costumes are complete (ideally in the next 4-6 weeks). A big thank you to those of you who requested a quote and expressed an interest in our work! We would have love to have chosen everyone to work with (we got some cool designs this round), but we could only take two. :c
We've been a little quiet lately due to both of us running off on a weekend cruise to the Bahamas (first vacation ever and it was awesome), as well as trying to organize our work room and replying to quote requests and things. It's been a lot of the lackluster "busy work" that's been keeping us silent, but not a lack of production! We're currently working on foaming some heads, refurbishing older heads/parts we've had laying around to prep them for selling, as well as smaller commissions.
We should have some things to sell soon. Possibly refurbs, fabric, misc. things, etc. We reorganized our work space in an effort to improve the ergonomics of the room AND clear out clutter. It's a bit of a mess right now, but once we have a good pile of stuff we'd like to sell, we'll post here with what we'd like to part with. c:
Other than that, just trying to stay cool and get through the summer. Our next con will be MFF in November, so we've got some time to prepare. Hope everyone's doing well!
PS: I forgot to mention that I've updated our commission list with everyone who has paid us either in full, or their deposit. Small commissions, big commissions, whatever. If you're paid us for something, your name should be there as well as a small status of what's been paid and if we've started working on your item(s). The list is in our profile and I update it pretty frequently when projects are being worked on. So check there periodically if you want some general status updates about your commission!

Oh will you not have a table then? Might we have a chance for like random suiting together or something XD
MFF used to be in my backyard. I miss it, but look forward to visiting Chicago again for the first time in nearly a decade. D: Soon!
