Updates 21/09/14 and ANNOUNCEMENT!
11 years ago
General
For the past 3-4 weeks I have been bunged up with the flu! So I have not been able to get to work on much at all x.x I feel horribly behind now! I even quarantine myself away from all materials x.x
Well now I am well enough to continue working!
I will be doing the following within the next two weeks:
1. Box and ship Camomile (also a photoshoot!)
2. Finish a hoof-boot partial set (Goat set similar to my hoof-boot set posted earlier this year)
3. Finish and put up Azure husky for auction
4. (possibly!!) finish the dracat!
As for my announcement! I have received a break though in my fursuiting work! Soon within the next couple months I will be leaving my full time job to work solely on costume. I have handed my notice into work and it is final. No matter what others say I am going to give my best to this enterprise and strive for success!
As a result of this I will more than likely be giving up my house and moving back to my Moms.
I know this is going to be hard. I know the majority who start do not succeed. I am however still optimistic! Currently my job is only just able to support me and my brother. It is a very hard way to live by. Hell I don't even have enough money on electricity to cover me for the rest of the month at the moment!
Giving up this house that I fought to get will be hard definately. I have come a long way these past few years, I have a lot of 'issues' I need to deal with.
Despite a lot of emotional and financial setbacks in my life I have been given an opportunity to follow my dream of being my own Boss. I am taking it and am going to try my damned well hardest to succeed!
Wish me luck!
Another thing most of you may not know is that I am Scottish. I understand there has been a good deal of coverage for the vote of independance both good and bad. Originally I wasn't going to vote but at a last minute decision and a 3 hour bus journey via 4 buses, I managed to vote. Already some of my fears for Scotland gaining 'no' have come true and my disappointment in politics is higher than it has ever been.
I see on the news that it is 'Scotland Decided' but its not... Its 'Scotland Divided'. This saddens me so much! I was ready and welcoming for change (even if the international market was already dropping stocks and pulling out of the UK, and yes I understand this would have more than likely caused another crash)
I do have family and friends in England. I am not anti-English but what I don't like is how we are governed by Westminster and a Tory party.
At work I had an Englishman tell me he was glad the UK was still together because it meant he didn't have to use his passport to come to Scotland... I couldn't say anything offensive that I wanted to say to him because he was a customer, smile, laugh and walk away. I get angry just thinking about it... And I don't want to be angry...
There has been so much video proof of tampering that I don't know what to believe anymore and the riots in Glasgow (caused by 'no' voting football nationalists might I add, despite what the BBC is reporting) is downright disgraceful! I had friends in Glasgow that night fleeing for their lives simply because they voted 'yes'... People have died over this! I believe the count is at least 4 now..
I hope with what is going on that it won't majorly affect how I work on costume. This past month has been hard what with being ill and then going through the referendum. There are some moments I feel broken. I just want to curl up in the cubby and forget about everything.
I want to make myself a success, I want to succeed with my art and I am determined to do so.
Soon I am going to be working on my official website again so look out for it! It would be nice to get feedback on the function and aesthetic when it goes live later on in the year!
I look forward to working with everyone!

Congrats on the full time costume making, that's some good stuff, can't wait to see what you make c: !
Didn't know you were Scottish, I'm sure the recent events must make for an interesting atmosphere o.o
International news is actually doing a better job of reporting the truth than the BBC! We are actually having to use Facebook and Twitter as a news platform instead.
There is still another 5 weeks according to legislation that will make the results of the vote binding (not many know this but it can be disputed for 6 weeks after the first count).
The sad thing is we have a party in control that favours the rich..
I can only hope things get better!
Thank you for the kind response to going full time in costume! I can't wait to do it :3
It'll be hard but I'm sure it will go well if you work at it. Becoming your own boss is not easy. I think the hardest part (from a personal point of view) is getting people to notice you. I remember someone said "never stop". Because as long as you work hard, get yourself out there and leave people happy with what you do it will eventually pay off.
Since I'm also in the UK I've been following along with the independence thing.
Only 55% voted no didn't they? I wouldn't personally call that 'decided'. In fact it's rather split. And I didn't know people have died over it. We're in the year 2014 and still people think violence will work.
