Hey guys!
Sorry for the kinda downer last journal. This one is all about money though, so if you have some to spend, stick around. If not, read it anyway and then go tell your friends that do have money! Please?
Anyway, I'm heading off to college soon which means getting a job for at least my first year is pretty much impossible, especially since I need to make at least a 3.7 GPA to get into the Cockrell School of Engineering. So, this leaves me to do commissions for people! I can do pretty much anything that involves sewing, knitting, or painting. As you should know by now, I don't draw. Ever. However, if you want a story written for you, I'll do that gladly.
So, I can do pretty much within my skill level. If you want to know what that is, go take a look at my cosplays because they pretty much define how skilled I am at sewing and crafts. I don't do props either, sorry. I have my boyfriend for that. But if you want any props, let me know and I'll talk to him about it to get you a price since he needs money too.
My preferred skill though is knitting, which means I can make (as shown here:
xcrowehx.deviantart.com/art/My…) anything from a full-length duster or scarves to armwarmers or wristbands. I haven't yet tried hats, but I don't expect that they'll be too difficult once I try.
Price estimates for some knitted items:
Duster: ~$150
Scarf: ~$20 (If you want a Harry Potter scarf with the patch, that will be an extra $14 so I can order a patch from Universal)
Armwarmers (comes in a pair): ~$15
Hat: ~$12
Wristband: ~$7
Rings (that itty bitty red and gold thing in the deviation): 25 cents, standard.
All of the above price estimates are subject to change (should be obvious since they're estimates) depending on the amount of detail you wish to have in your item as well as any extra colors.
Any other thing that you want commissioned will need to be discussed through comments on here, comments on the above deviation, or via notes. None of these prices include shipping, but if you live near Austin or Houston, Texas, you won't have to worry about that if you're willing to come pick them up (I'll also be at A-Kon, so I can drop off commissions there if you'll be there).
Other than that, I'm trying to sell my Jett in Spanish Brown from Arda still. I had one person say she might want it if she decided to do that cosplay after A-fest, but I wanted to post on here in case I had any other people interested (in case that one falls through). It's in perfect condition and sells for $30 plus shipping on the website, so I'm selling it for $25 plus shipping (once again, shipping doesn't matter if you live close enough to meet me somewhere).
All of this will help a lot because I need to pay for the hotel and pass for A-kon as well as supplies for my Shiki Misaki, Twilight Sparkle, and Kairi costumes. Not to mention anything extra I want to buy while at college like concert tickets, movie tickets, or clothes.
Love you guys and hopefully you will at least pass this on if you're not interested,
