Hey folks! I had been most active on twitter, since it was a good low-stress way to put out my every silly hummingbird thought, along with progress pics, chatter about stuff I want to do, current status of commissions, etc. but, well... gestures at ongoing flood-borne, "X" rated dumpster fire over…
If you've seen my latest submission, you know I've been making minis. I filmed the process of making one of them, so if you've ever wondered how silicone toys (sex or otherwise) are created, have a peek! I make the minis via the exact same process as I make the full sized toys, they're just a littl…
Hop over to Twitter, where Ruff Tough Toys and I are co-hosting a coloring contest and giveaway. There will be four prizes, two of them chosen randomly, so your coloring job doesn't even have to be any good. :D More prizes added if we can get enough retweets, so you can give it a bump, too. Come jo…
All pre-orders, orders, purchases, etc for the Thorn dildos, Rose masturbators, Thorn eggs, Rosebud urethral toys, etc. (how did I end up here? Really? I was just going to make one dildo for me!) are in the mail. Except the person who ordered a Monster Thorn just a few days ago. I gotta get more si…
They're here! (And so are some flops, but I'm not as excited.) The first of the successful pours that aren't pre-orders. The bugs are pretty well worked out at this point, at least for most things, so I expect to have more eventually, but for now there's a nice pair, both in soft silicone, so they'…
Preorders for the Thorns, Monster Thorns, Thorn eggs, Pollination zine, and various stickers end on February 7th, one week from today! That's also when my twitter giveaway for a free custom Thorn toy ends. So please have a look at the preorders on Etsy here, and the giveaway on Twitter here. No fol…
Hey folks! I'm not new to crafting, and I believed I had done my due-diligence in researching silicone supplies. All the Thorns and eggs are made with body-safe platinum-cure silicone. HOWEVER, despite the supplier's website saying otherwise, it turns out that all their silicone types require vacuu…
Blood Choice for Kindle In a post-apocalyptic world where humans hide inside protective lights and vampires roam the desert, searching for exiles, one human being has a chance to make a difference, if only he can make a single, terrible choice. It's out, for those of you weirdos who prefer an e-boo…
I ended up with some misprint copies of my gay vampire romance book The Sacrifice. I was going to sell them cheap at conventions, but the whole universe is cancelled right now, so I decided to do a giveaway instead. Just comment on twitter to enter.
I've had a twitter forever, really, but I haven't used it in years until now. Looking to connect with furry authors, LGBT authors, literary agents who are open to same, and interesting people in general. Hit me up! https://twitter.com/bladespark
Even Furries Hate Nazis, an anthology of furry antifa tales (tails?) is out. It contains a fun little story by me, titled "An Incident at Demansk Station". It's my first published/completed work in what is probably my favorite sci-fi setting, a far-future world where humans created "morphs", anthro…
I may have mentioned a few times that I have a story featured in the Burnt Fur horror anthology. I still do! However, as I've finally had time to read the other stories that accompany mine, I've hit a point where I think I need to put a small disclaimer and/or warning in my recommendations that pep…
My story "Fitting Together" is, as I may have already mentioned, in the charity anthology Scry of Lust 2. The folks behind that have finished getting all the various editions of it up, so I thought I'd provide a comprehensive set of links. On Smashwords (the place to buy if you want to support the…
I have an account now: https://www.pillowfort.io/Aidan_Rhiannon I'm following everybody back right now, because I really want to use pillowfort to interact with people, and not just descend from on high with art that everybody looks at but nobody knows me and I don't know you and all that. So if yo…
http://sparkcostumes.com/list.html I made a list! And now you can see it in multiple places at once, because this is THE list of spots on the internet where I have content of some kind. Plus my Furry Writer’s Guild profile, which has no content, but I’m kinda chuffed about it at the moment? I still…
I finally have my commissions list under control, so I'm opening back up again for the first time in what feels like forever. So if you've been waiting to get a fursuit, plush, or other project from me, now is a good time! Just drop me a line at spark.costumes@gmail.com
I have been neglecting uploading stuff here. That's in part because I was closed for commissions for a while. I'm technically open now, though my prices are changing and my wait times are still long (and I have to sort out a ton of stuff on my website, and there's just too much to do!) But hey, I f…
So it's been a while since I actually uploaded anything here, I figured I should post an update. No, I'm not dead. Yes, I am still working, but I wildly underestimated this whole "having a baby" thing. I'm currently working about six hours a week. Given that before getting pregnant I was doing abou…
I think I've e-mailed this to everyone, but in case I missed anyone, I'm also posting it to my various art sites. Hi folks. Things have been interesting around here lately, in the Chinese curse sense. I had hoped I wouldn't have to send out a message like this, but given what's been going on in my…
Where and when to find me: In the dealer's room. (Booth 717.) I will be there the entire time it's open. (However, if you'd like to chat with me, I suggest coming by late in the day on Saturday, or on Sunday, when sales will be slower and I'll have time to talk. Friday is always super busy, especia…
So today is my birthday (that's not the announcement), and I keep forgetting that it is and then being reminded. I celebrated it on Wednesday, because too much is going on this weekend. One thing that went on this weekend was that I got a positive pregnancy test*. Yep. Baby. Baby is a thing that wi…
Well okay, not "last", since I will still be making pony plushes after the kickstarter is over, but if you want to back and get a plush this year rather than sometime next year, now's the time. The campaign ends Sunday afternoon, so you have just two days left to back. https://www.kickstarter.com/p…
The kickstarter has funded! See? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1285575774/embroidered-equines-20-cooler-pony-plushes I am so fricking stoked! Now... stretch goal time!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1285575774/embroidered-equines-20-cooler-pony-plushes <--this link now contains a video of me, rambling on about ponies and embroidery and showing off adorableness.
I really can't deal with this any more. There is too much stress. There are too many expectations. There are too many people who insist on perfection and yet come to somebody less than half the price of the best makers out there. There are too many people who think it should fit like a glove and ye…
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1285575774/embroidered-equines-20-cooler-pony-plushes Yep, I'm kickstartering again. Kickstarting? Kicking? Whatever it is, I'm doing it. With pony plushes this time, because it's about fricking time I get an embroidery machine, but every time I think I've scrap…
So I just got the final word from Everfree, and I won't be getting a booth there. I have to say I'm really disappointed. Personally, I very much enjoy Everfree, but I can't afford to go unless I'm selling. Business-wise it's a real blow, too. But hey, every cloud has a silver lining, so for you guy…
Hey there folks! You may notice I've been uploading a lot of Windstone Edition sculptures that I've painted. I happen to have one gryphon left still unpainted, and I don't have any great ideas for how to paint it, so I thought I'd ask for some input. Basically, I am looking for Gryphon characters w…
I'm trying to decide if it's worth writing up a whole thing about what I do and rates and such for this sort of thing. Are people here interested? So far most of the commissions I've gotten for this kind of thing have been through the Windstone forums, but it honestly seems kind of over-saturated w…
I'm back from Rainfurrest, and I've also finished the local craft market for the year, so I'm selling all the stuff that's leftover from both places. Sales were good, but I made a TON of stuff, so there's still quite a lot.
My last convention of the year, and one that's a bit more laid back (for me, at least) than the previous ones. I'll be there Fri-Sun, at the dealer's table, selling tails, ears, and a few plushes. Mostly tails, I am bring SO MANY TAILS. See you there!
I'm back from Bronycon. It was a ton of fun, and also fairly profitable, which is good. :3 I'm looking forward to going again next year. Just as an FYI, my upcoming con schedule includes Rainfurrest next month, BABScon 2015, Everfree NW 2015, and Bronycon again in 2015 as well. Right now I am dead…
If you're attending Bronycon and you'd like to buy something at my booth, please bring cash! I will have a Square reader on me, but probably only on the last day, by which time I may be out of whatever it is that you wanted, and the Square reader can be unreliable in a crowded building where the si…
Meeting me at Everfree! Everfree NW is less than two weeks away now! I'm still sewing like mad to get everything I need to finish done in time, but whatever else happens, I will definitely be there. Here's what you need to know if you want to meet me at the convention. Where and when to find me: In…
I'm doing a lot more conventions these days. I LOVE doing conventions, they're fun to do, they're profitable, and I get to sew whatever I feel like (well, within reason) and generally people will buy it. It's awesome. Right now I find it way less stressful than taking commissions. Sewing stock to s…
I've had a customer cancel on me, which leaves me with one fursuit or giant plush slot available for this year. It's for November. So if you're interested, please drop me a line!
Just got my vendor application approved. So it is confirmed, I will be vending at Bronycon. This is exciting and scary. I have never had to go that far for a convention before, and never with that much merch. (I did fly out to Further Confusion once, but I only had one big suitcase full of tails.)…
Woooooooooooooooo! *does a happy dance* So what does this mean? It means that it's no longer "if I get enough people" I have enough people, it's guaranteed that these little guys WILL be professionally cast. There is one whole week left to go before the project ends, I get the funds, and I send the…
I'm uploading a big batch of my older stuff. I'll spread it out a bit so I don't just flood people. But I figured I might as well have a few examples of the various different types of things I make in my gallery. I'll probably be doing this for the next week or so. :) Hopefully it'll pick me up a f…
