Actually, it started Friday night with my first tartan corset, steaming hot and fresh off the machine, being worn by the fabulous Eav in a photo shoot with the inimitable [livejournal.com profile] kylecassidy. Click the photo for more, or see http://kylecassidy.livejournal.com/236361.html

This pretty silk darling-- the corset and skirt, not Eav-- was sold ninety minutes after I put it out to a faire worker and friend who'll be wearing it to her prom. I'm pretty sure no one else in the room will have anything like it.

Once again, I'm pretty down with the Universe.

I think I may be getting the hang of this corsetting thing.

You *think* ?!?

Oy gevalt.

(And in other news, I just sent my query note to PARF for 2007)

Do you know Betty from Emporer's Needle? She's a leatherworker herself, and she'd be able to tell you what to bring or not bring to PARF. Pitch your bodices and applique work rather than your pouches, I think. We seem to have four or five leatherworkers who do the pouch/mug strap/skirtchaser thing, and it might be an issue. No, I KNOW it's an issue. Pitch PARF your more unique stuff-- which is flippin' gorgeous-- and they'll smile more.


And yeah, I feel like I'm really starting to get a handle on how to make this work as a true business-- new designs, where to branch out, what other events and such to do, etc. Sure took me long enough.

The pouch work is pretty much gravy anyway. Kinda a quick buck to keep people interested when they don't want to spend the money for the nicer stuff.

I wouldn't need it at PARF, even tho it'd be nice to have. However, my main 2 pouches are unique enough to stand on their own regardless.

I'm starting to branch out, I'll probably finish my descent into madness tomorrow or Wednesday and I'll show you pictures. :-D

So.. what did you say Eav's phone number was?

Also...did my friend Chris contact you about grants?

I need to add one of yours to my small but growing collection. I want to try and do that by the end of next year (need to get through the whole wedding thing this year)

Please tell him yes, I'm interested. How do these things work? Do I pay him a fee, or does he take a percentage?

Yeah-- weddings do have a tendency to take precedence! As well they should!

Danke. I'm so focussed right now I feel like a laser beam. Unfortunately, a sick laser beam. Ugh. Off to bed for me to hopefully sleep off whatever icky I've got. Catch you up tomorrow, love.
