I'm tempted to do a Partial fursuit raffle in a month or so...the winner would receive a discounted fursuit partial. Trying to gauge interest if I did in fact post this up.

Also, I am drawing up a pricelist that will be going up. Besides the obvious answers of what you make, and base prices. What other information do you like to have on a pricelist? Such as how much airbrushing costs, silicone pawpads vs fleece pawpads.

Just trying to start gauging interest in future projects that I have planned.

I am opening up for partial fursuit commissions.

The pricelist is a base price, if the character has complicated markings, extensive airbrush, or extras such as claws, silicone paw pads, silicone noses, or jawsets it will increase the price of the commission.

For a suit quote email me at: Sanuraleopard[at]yahoo.com

Currently I am open for 3 suit slots, so please spread the word!


Tails-
Small- $25 (Lynx, Goat)
Medium-$45 (Husky, Wolf)
Large- $75 (Red Panda, Snow leopard)

Heads- $300- (These are currently only available as foam on balaclava, in a toony style)
$400- (Resin base,moving jaw, resin eyes with tearduct vision)
This base price is for two colors, follow me eyes, and


Beginner Partial- $500 (Head, Tail, Hand paws)

Standard Partial- $600 (Head, Tail, Handpaws, Feetpaws)

Half Suit- $650 (Head, Tail, Handpaws, Feetpaws, Armsleeves)

I require at least a 50% down payment, and am willing to work with payment plans. However, I will not ship out a costume piece until full payment has been fulfilled.


WANT A FREE BADGE!

Each fursuit I make will come with a free badge of the character.

Refer a friend deal: If you spread the word to your friends and they mention you when they commission a suit from me, you can receive a free badge as well. The more people that you refer that get suits from me, the more badges you can receive.

Got my room booked for MFF this November!

I am excited because it looks like the room might already be full. :D

I booked it because I would rather be prepared and set, and not scramble at the last minute to get a room. Odd to think that it is so far away and both cons I am attending this year I already have rooms for.

So far it will be myself,  chronsky  xavierarmstrong and  tigersammy

While I will be the only female in a room full of guys I am not too worried, since that seems to be how it goes lately.

Not sure if I will register as a sponsor for MFF yet or not.

I love these guys though and know that they will be amazing :D maybe a bit drunk at times, but still amazing to room with. If I had room for all my friends though, it would be a seriously crowded room.

Hopefully I will have a fullsuit by MFF, but even if I don't I will be content with the ghost wolf partial I am finishing up.

fursuitsupplies.com is having a $50 gift card giveaway, it is open for the next week!


Link to Contest:http://fursuitsupplies.com/index.ph.....formation_id=8

I can only imagine the shtuff i would buy with that giftcard. :D Cross paws for everyone who enters!

So FCN should be an exciting time this year. I'm debuting my wolf/dragon, which as soon as I attach the horns and get my hooves I should be able to start taking some update photos of.

On another note will be debuting my first goat as well, as long as I can get them done. She may be sold at a later date, given that I finish her on time, if I finish her early I may even sell her before FCN.

Also tempted to start making my own resin bases, I like the feel of them better and the more realistic nature. Though I do still like the toony suits out of foam, working with resin just feels more natural to me.

I want to thank all of my dear friends who have helped me through a really rough time for me. I'm still not out of the woods, but at least I can spend the days not crying over everything.

There is still hurt, there is still pain, but I can talk to him without crying and that is a start.

From this experience i've even lost some weight.
I will also begin sword training here within the week.

Like I have been told "Forgiveness will set you free of the pain" i may not have completely forgiven him, but if I was not important enough to hold onto, then he never really deserved me.

I have been told by my close friends that I am beautiful and have a beautifully strong spirit.

To those that have helped me through this, thank you so much, you know who you are.

I would especially like to thank for giving me sound advice when I was so close to my breaking point.

I could make a very long list of the friends I am blessed to have that have let me cry on their shoulders, and even my coworker who let me slap him because of my rage.

I may have lost what I thought mattered the world to me, but now I learn that he only lost something even more beautiful.

There are actually several gentleman who are attempting to court me now, I'm not sure how to take the sudden attention, but I know i can trust my friends to give me sound judgement on how to approach things, I can honestly say that i have never had so many men suddenly crave my affection, and I'm not sure what I did to deserve it.

I will be going on a date for the midnight hobbit release, and I hope that it goes well, though he will be in a kilt and I will dress up a touch. He isn't a furry, but I think I have coaxed him to the dark side, so you may see him around here shortly.

I am strong,I won't fail, and I cannot allow myself to be driven crazy by everything.

I cannot abide them, at it hurts more when it hits so close to home.

I was okay when it was lost feelings.
I was okay when you didn't want to fix what had been broken
I understood that things wouldn't work out
I realized that the distance was tough
I knew when you became distant
and started hanging out with her more and more that something was bound to happen
you didn't hide it well at all.
I had heard the rumors and chose to ignore them because I trusted you.

But hell be damned that you lied to me and told me their was no one else
That we may get back together
and that you wanted to be alone for awhile.
That this stuff "just happens"....

I don't spite the person your with
Hell I don't spite the fact that you are happy
I can move on too
and i know there are guys that have shown interest in me.


What I cannot abide is that I was lied to, because that hurts more than any break up every could.

I want to be friends, but how can I trust a friend that lies to me about something as major than this.
I have learned one thing from this whole thing was that I cannot trust so completely. I gave faith because in past relationships I had been to worrisome and clingy...now i was too trustworthy and it blew up on me anyways.


If you feel even a 10th of the guilt to the hurt and betrayal I feel from this...than you may still have some kind of compassion left. It was good to know you loved me at least for a little while..I guess...I want to be friends...but right now I just need time.

Black Fur

Note me if interested.

MFF came and went this weekend. I am now even further confused, I guess technically I am now single, but I still hold in my heart that just maybe things will change, that we will be together again at some point in the future.

I will always love him, and care for him. I cannot live in this fantasy forever, but I can at least try to pick up the pieces and carry on. I gave him back everything I could, I kept the ring and a set of his DnD dice, just a memory of our time together.

I will pray that things may turn around and we may yet be together again. Right now..it just hurts...and I know that it his hurting him too.

It was never his fault, it just hurts that these things happen, but maybe they all happen for a reason. I hope that is the case and I just have not seen that reason yet.

It is odd to look over my room and see the pictures, and plush of Hexter that I had....kind of makes me miss the plush more...but I know Jazken will take good care of him.

One more week and maybe I'll get on a normal sleep schedule...I've been up for too long, I should be in bed...gahhh I'm turning into an insomniac...

Is it all over yet? Maybe it is just conditioning so I can walk around the con super duper late at night while everyone is asleep, I can be the creeper in the lobby.

is doing some free sketches and the artwork is lovely. Check them out!

Everytime I start feeling better, when I feel like no matter what happens I will still be okay...my heart starts breaking again. I wish mff would hurry up and get here so I can get everything figured out. If I had my way id be making a long drive right about now, but the responsible side that knows it would mean the end of her job, is forcing me to stay and wait here. I see the happy couple pictures being posted and favorited and it makes my heart ache worse...I just want to figure this out.

2 shots of rum and I can still feel everything. I'm going to try and pass out, hoping that things change. I hope MFF changes things for the better, only time will tell.

I'm thinking of opening up for fursuit commissions. I'm finishing up a snowleopard and a husky here, and just looking to see if people would be interested. I'm thinking of doing a few premade heads and putting them up on Furbuy.
I would start around $300 for the foam base, and probably around $500 dollars for a resin base if I get the resin bases I want soon.

Also anyone looking for fake fur from fabric.com should use the coupon code "Sewsorry" to get 20% off your order, I don't know how good the coupon is for, but I was able to pick up some lovely furs and I saved $10 off my order, doesn't seem like a lot, but every penny counts. :p

 sugarcat is picking her winner tomorrow so get your entries in today! I love her artwork, and thought why not give it a shot.

My parents just returned from a cruise in Alaska. From the sounds of it, I thought it would be something great to do later in life.

Then I learned that most of the ports you stop at, are in fact, owned by the cruise ships, and they do not hire the locals to work the shops.

If I were to go on a cruise, I would want to meet locals, and see some actual native artwork, or be able to learn about their culture and lives through the people that live there.


But, even after all of that it was not what made me so upset. The fact that my aunt and uncle (who also went on this cruise) did a kitchen tour. As it turns out, there are a group of people who are solely in the kitchen to separate the leftovers on plates, bones, paper and garbage, and scraps. The scraps they then take and throw over board, this attracts herrings; which then in fact attract the whales.

When by parents did the whale watching tour she noticed that one of the boats had one whale that just stayed around it the entire time. When my mom inquired to someone if they chummed for whales they stated that "we couldn't feed them fast enough"

But by throwing scraps over board and feeding the herring. It is in a way also chumming for whales, because the whales then follow the boats. I understand wanting to see whales, but by doing this; they start to think that any boat will have some kind of tasty morsel for them; which could spell big trouble for the whales.

Also, it turns out that one of the islands where the whales go to calf, they are going to be putting in a port for all of these other cruise ships. So, I cannot imagine that they won't disrupt the calfing process.

I can safely say, that I no longer wish to go on a cruise. If I do go to Alaska I would much rather go with locals,perhaps on a nature adventure, and also learn more about the customs and living conditions of the people who live up there, and not from people who are paid by a large company of cruise ships.

So, a very stressful day at work, I honestly just want to curl up and go to sleep; but too much to do tonight.

I'm going to try and finish furring my Snow Leopard head, but right now I just really want to talk to my mate, but he just doesn't want to talk right now.

So, I'm going to go make some dinner then hide away for the night.

Also, going to do a few free art pieces, if interested leave your refs below.

I am happy to report that my latest selling at the con did way better than I could have ever expected!

With two days of selling I was able to make about twice what I had last year. And everyone enjoyed the different variety that I had to sell.

Not to mention that I got to see plenty of my friends who I don't get to see often, due to the fact they live on the other side of the state D:


The only hiccup I had the whole weekend was that someone pulled the fire alarm in artist alley and we all to evacuate. At the time i was hanging with a local furmeet, and had only been away for about 10 minutes (of going for about 12 hrs worth of sitting in a day) and had to run back to make sure that my table was all taken care of and nothing was stolen while people evacuated.

But all turned out well, false alarm ;)


However, this is making me start thinking about possibly selling at FCN next year in the Dealer's den, it seems a bit intimidating though.

Jafax is less than a week away, in fact only 4 days left to prepare and I still feel so far behind.

I hope to get some pictures up of what I have been working on lately.

I have some steampunk jewelry, my tophats, some collars, and I'm thinking of whipping up some tails to sell, but i"m still not sure on that one yet....

*runs around frantically*

oh and I am also doing some art commissions hopefully, *crossespaws that someone wants to buy her art*

Starting over with a new account is never easy, but I felt it was something I had to do.

The artwork on my old one, and the memories that were still there on that page, were just too much to keep using. I don't even think wiping the whole page clean and starting over would have helped.

I had time to think it through and decided the best option was to start over fresh and see what happens.
