Positivity! Anthrocon!
10 years ago
General
I don't want to have all sad journals, so, I am pleased to say I will be going to Anthrocon this year!
Thanks to a friend for offering me space in their room, I can afford to go this year!
How exciting! I really hope I can get Scraps finished by then, though I might be in a bit over my head trying to finish my first fursuit in a week...
I'm still going to try! It's fun anyway!
In other news, I have all the materials I need now, so it's just a matter of building and planning and sewing.
Dollar stores are the best for unexpected salvage opportunities! I need rubber to make footpaws, but where to get that? Rubber to walk on by the sheet? I had no idea, and it sounded expensive.
Then I saw a bunch of cheap sandals in the dollar store... you know, those ones that are basically just a rubber sole and strings/plastic?
That's just what I was looking for! So I got all the rubber I needed and then some for $3.
Overall, I think my costs have come to about $400, although probably $150 or more was tools I needed, and of course the fur was free scrap. And I still need to pick a simple sewing machine, with maybe a zigzag stitch... I'm trying to figure out if I can get a half decent one for less than $100, so any suggestions are welcome if anyone knows a good brand or whatnot.
Whatever happens, I'll be going to Anthrocon, tail or not! Woohoo!
