tohma2004I've sold my Fai coat. Well technically its still mine until I get the money...but when you get someone willing to pay a certain amount you just have to go with your gut. I didn't want to give it up but my father said I was crazy not to..and he's right. I mean..I retire costumes and all they do is just sit around in the closet. I say that its because I might wear it again someday..but lets be serious..Dilandau? Kiba? might as well get junked.
But she wanted me to make one just like mine and my brain went.. *dead silence...AHHHHHHHHHH* cause that was the costume that I fear broke my brain into a million little pieces.
I love that coat. The hours I put into it..the pictures and the comments and the memories that now fill it. But it was probably going to be spending a lot more time in the closet then it was on my body and I had plans to retire it anyway..so why not give it to someone who will enjoy it?
I'll make a new one. I have a new plan for the back and it wont be as painstakingly long to sew together but hopefully will still have that unique quality that makes it different from other people's coats.
Otakon..I know you wanted me to wear it..there is always the chance she won't be paid up by then and I can. Or I can just make the new one to be safe. I'm giving up my staff to someone at Otakon anyway.
This selling costumes I've worn...its new to me..It makes me sad yet energizes me all the same time. I'm happy to be rid of his heavy..difficult to carry...hard to store..pile of fur. Yet..its something I put a lot of effort into and its going away...
My parents said I should open a costuming shop. Go to conventions, right things off as work related expenses, do what I enjoy. I shot back, "You figure out how and I'll do it" Good luck with that.
