[copied from FA, nothing new, important info for those interested in HOOVES or PAWS for suiting/costume]

Well, had a long weekend, but my first time in the dealers den turned out pretty well i'd say! Didn't sell alot alot of smaller things but sold a few hats, a couple tail, and had ALOT of people interested in my hooves! I want to thank everyone for all the compliments and words of kindness, and for all the interest in commissions!

I will DEFINITELY be taking commissions for hooves, i had alot of interest but as i told everyone, i intend to take 3 pairs of hooves at a discounted rate before i boost it. The reason for this is a combination of my needing the practice, and also the current mold i have will not last terrible long and i intend to great a new one very soon. Currently i have a silicon sock mold with a plaster mother-mold, much the way most masks are cast, but this is nto condusive to solid casts, so what i will be doing is making a BLOCK mold, which is literally a giant cube or rubber with the shape in it, so the rubber supports itseld insteaf of needing the plaster. This will last about 10-20x longer than my current sock mold [which already has one tiny tear].

I'm setting the base price for this round of cast hooves at $50. This is the cost of the plastic itself to cast them in, and time/labor, paint, any extra elastic/supports i install on your shoe, and shipping them to you. You must supply the shoes and get them to me somehow.

Fur costs extra and will vary per situation, but a basic solid color would be around $30 extra. Only three accepted at this price, i had alot of people show interest but please note me to reserve your spot.

I will be starting a wolf-paw sculpt very soon. I am currently looking for interested parties to get in on the wolf-paw action to cover the supplies i need to begin them, and get a discount on their paws. These will be more complex, i'll post details later, but interested parties who want to pre-pay for a discount on their final, please note me or email me at anarcrow@gmail.com. These will cost more than the deer but i need to figure out just how much.

Overall, my weekend was pretty good, but it did end on a sad note. My cat Murphy, our 16 1/2 year old Maine Coon, passed away last night. He was old and we knew his kidneys wouldn't last him another year, but he didn't seem so close to passing. We even had an appointment to take him to the vet tomorrow to get him checked out. My mother, whom i live with, informed me that while i was away all weekend, he spent two days straight in his room and started having trouble breathing. We thought it was just a cold, but last night he went into her room, snuggled up beside mom for a few minutes before crawling under the bed and up into the box spring to pass away. I have a friend who might be able to have him cremated for us for free, though we wouldn't get the ashes, but at least them we wouldn't have to throw him away in the dumpster. We rent our house to we can't bury him, and we cant afford private cremation.

sorry to end this journal on such a sad note but wanted to let you guys know what's goin in in my life. All said and done, i have alto to look forward to so it will all end up okay, i know.
