Sometimes there's a lot of downtime at a vendor table ok

Sometimes @animalshapes.bsky.social leaves me little ✨suggestions✨

Say hello to Tabernak the Avali! (Commission for @tabernak.bsky.social of their Avali character)

Baby-cans for days! (I am waist-deep in con-prep because we have THREE in March and everything needs to be finished and shipped by the beginning of March, in order to get to the cons on time.)

Still thinking about Them. (It was so hard to let this guy go 😭)

Day 2 is well underway! Come on by, grab some goodies, and say hi to Bobbin as she’s here to represent!

What animal is this

I don't usually sew Plushrooms for cons, because the stems are a scary, fiddly nightmare, but the @vancoufur.bsky.social theme this year is Alice in Wonderland so obviously I'm making an exception.

stamp fun has begun

When in doubt, Draw a kitty. (And then take a month to finish it.)

Check out these cool kids

hands and he is ready

Well. That's never happened before. The metal portion of the foot shank just... snapped off. I didn't even hit a pin 🫠

We have reached the "I've Had Enough" phase of the Long Dark. With the apprentice's help, we now have additional lighting! 🙏🏻

Sekhmet had her nearly one year "I was the first cat who survived white lung pneumonia from Avian Influenza" vet check, and looks amazing. Xrays GOOD! Vet didn't think she needed more, but it was still $800, so Shop.kikidoodle.com if you'd like to support my most expensive cat💕🐾 #CATS

LRP: it's been said before and I'll repeat it: You are NOT A FAILURE if you can't make full-time art/cons your job. Most folks can't. It's HARD. Mentally, physically, emotionally, financially. The logistics, the up-front costs, being away from home (and pets), being On™ the whole time.

Don’t know who needs to hear this but stop quitting your job to do artist alley and conventions, there are no benefits or health insurance and it is so unpredictable and the competition is worse than trying to get into Harvard lol

New critter just dropped! It's @faustorian.bsky.social ! (I LOVE this character design, omg)

important message to all bluesky users

Rebirths are hard, I'd say this guy did great! Looks better than my last one for sure ^^

Still rocking mine years later! Would recommend!

One more little guy got a bit rumpled during his travels (or maybe just had a glitch when he respawned??) He's a small/medium fit, and is also in the shop (at a steep discount). www.etsy.com/ca/listing/4...

Last month we ended up with a snep with a minor ouchie! We couldn't just put him out to pasture, so he's now listed in the shop at a discount! (Bonus: he's ready to ship, so no waiting for us to sew him!) www.etsy.com/ca/listing/4...

Certainly a rising tide raises all ships, but this is more of a "we're all weathering a storm and some of us are floundering or taking on water, while you're standing on your prow shouting at everyone else about how great your boat is," situation 🫠

Dear vendors: PLEASE read the room before you try to tell other vendors about How Much Money you made (or didn't make). This is one of the few consistently negative interactions I have at conventions.

Thanks @anthronorthwest.bsky.social for a wonderful weekend! We're all packed up and making the trek home today. Regular work (including emails, and mailing packages) will resume tomorrow!

Last panel LET'S GO!!

Juneau is out and about! 💛🧡❤️💜

Not The Artist™ Will Absolutely Take Your Money (Filling in for @animalshapes.bsky.social this afternoon)

It's Saturday at ANW and a terrible day to be online but if you're like me and would rather be a wild creature in the great outdoors I have cozy things along that line.

We're open for Day 2 at @anthronorthwest.bsky.social! We're allllllll the way in the back corner of the main den, so please try to swing all the way through! We've still got lots of stock left and ready to go home with you! 💖

Not *entirely* a fursuit, but this awesome kigu from @apoxon.bsky.social has been a wonderful (and more compact) alternative. For relevance, here’s a pic of Spottacus’ fullsuit on display at the charity auction booth in the ANW dealer’s den. Can’t help but feel a bit somber next to it.

See you soon at Anthro Northwest!!

Just spent the last two hours going through my panels to make sure I remember all the important points! (I have notes, but a refresher never hurts!) Looking forward to Education™ tomorrow!

Got my @apoxonindustries.bsky.social hoodie and i am the most proot

Yappy New Year!

I may not be vending, but I AM hosting several panels at Anthro Northwest this weekend! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Phew! Made it to Anthro Northwest! This is my first con in a literal ✨ decade ✨ that I haven't been working, so I'm looking forward to hosting panels, and *gasp* Fursuiting!!! (Look for me kigu-suiting though because thick thigh master over there didn't fit in the car)

Alright, let's go.

The quilt's outta the bag! An inside-joke Christmas gift for @karopup.bsky.social and @vurn.bsky.social (Oh no I'm getting into quilting; is this middle age? 😱)

Hehehe @apoxonindustries.bsky.social made me a yote tf starter kit~ ❤️

Thanks @foxfirefantasy.com for making the pattern available for folks! My partner's house-coyote TF has begun! (Pattern: ko-fi.com/s/e6a0e4a710 )
