Moving Forward and Pricing Changes

So I've been at this whole furry and fursuit making thing for a fair bit of time now, over two years now, wow. This whole time its been a hobby for me and I work in my spare time. I work a full time job and have a couple other hobbies as well.
That being said I think I've improved a good bit over these last couple years, I've made several full suits and more parts then I ever thought I would when I started doing this. I really figured I would just make some for myself, but I'm glad I tried making stuff for others. It has been very great to make stuff for other people. So a big thank you to everyone who has commissioned me to date, you've made my time in the fandom a lot better.
That being said I now have to decide on thing moving forward. I feel I still have a lot to improve on and I don't expect to make this a full time gig, not anytime soon, perhaps not ever. That would be awesome, but I'm being realistic.
One thing for sure is my costs have gone up. The problem with doing this stuff in Canada is fur isn't readily available here and I have to buy it from the States, and with the dollar declining I need to reflect this. Not to mention things like my cheap source of foam closing down and using better materials in various places. So I've taken down my prices and will be revising them to reflect all these factors.
So while I figure things out, I'm still taking requests, but prices are a little up in the air right now.

That's too bad about your foam though. Hopefully you can find another good place to buy from. I finally found myself a good foam store in Oshawa for big scraps and fair prices on new stuff... Now I just have to do something with the big bag I brought home already -_-'
But I can't wait to see your new work! Do you have anything in the works right now?
