What I would consider for trade/barter are: unitards--balltogs small, maybe medium; arm/leg warmers; jazz or tap shoes Women's 9.5; Tugger's gigantic mane/waistcoat, crepe hair, yak wool, kankelon.
First listed will be the commission services I offer, then below items I'm currently offering for sale.
I will add more samples to this post, so this will be updated frequently. Most prices are negotiable to a good home. Please PM me if there's interest. Again, negotiable... Some stuff isn't just for Cats but anime, and well, had to throw the bass guitar up there. ): If anyone picks up that one, Beast needs a really good home. As well, well... unemployed so uh. Yay? ):
Commission Wise
Wigs from Scratch!
Yarn: $60 Sample
Crepe Wool Hair: $80+ 1-WIP Sample, 2
Kankelon: $65+
Mixed Median: $75+ Sample-WIP
The Difference:
Crepe is my preferred median. It feels the most animal, I can get better color blends, and it's the most natural.
Yarn is unbelievably soft though will have a slight curl. It doesn't blend as well as crepe.
Kankelon is a bit more bristly than the other two, can be blended better than yarn but not as well as crepe, and can be used for crazy things as well as traditional.
Mixed Median: Will use all three, and possibly other materials such as vinyl and rubber.
Your wig will be made on a hose or lycra base with either cross stitching fabric or tulle ear flaps. Your wig will also be custom fit to a human head (unless you're really against that) to ensure the earflaps lie as flat as possible against your scalp. A combination of hot glue and sewing will be used to make wefts.
Super Strengths: I make humanistic and animalistic wigs extremely well. I model Mistoffelees after Adam Lambert for example. I really enjoy doing something different where it looks like something that could grow out of one's head. I also like making wigs to go with it. If you want something wild and crazy, something funky and out there, something along the lines of the Sweedish and Polish casts, I'd be all over that. Of course, I love all the natural things as well.
Ear Flaps!
<-- Yarn SampleOh, those frustrating Ear Flaps! However shall we avoid making them?
So, here's the deal. You've made a wig or acquired one but then realize that you have no ear flaps, nor the material to make them. That's where I come in. I will make customized earflaps that you can attach to your wig! For convenience, the earflaps currently are made with Cross Stitching Fabric, either white or black for the best blend.
Yarn Ear Flaps: $15-30
Crepe Hair Ear Flaps: $30-50
Kankelon Ear Flaps: $25-45
Wig Styling from Kankelon Bases
Reever Wenhamm, House/Ianto/Alex Trebek
I have experience styling wigs for anime, TV, video games as well as regular television. These run between $60 and $140 including the base material. If you provide the base, this figure will drop as you will be charged on labor alone.
Tails!
Close Up of Textures
An Older Outdated Picture but well, you get the idea
Textures
Realistic Ones (aka brushed out and furry) - $25-45
Ones that Aren't Brushed Out but still with Homespun - $20-30
Ones that Use Mixed Media for different Textures - $20-45
Other Yarn that's Cheaper - $12-25, Sample
Thin Tail w/ Thin Yarn and Spacers - $10-12 (VERY artistic, but sparse)
Braided Yarn Tail - $30-45 (These are totally my new favorite but take many, many, many hours to make!) 1, 2, 3
Ones that use 3+ Colors: Might have to add $7 to the price to cover material; ask me for a quote!
Unitard Painting
$70+
1; 2
I cannot make unitards, but can order one for you if you'd like (of course with you paying the difference). If you haven't tried a unitard on before, I'd suggest trying it before sending it to me to ensure a good fit. I use Jacquards, Inks, Dyes, and a lot of strange tools for texture that I guarantee no one else would consider using. I enjoy freestyling and hiding little things in your unitard. Have a favorite quote or song? How about hidden lyrics or words? Possibilities are endless. Your unitard will be heat set.
Fluffies
+$5-15 depending on complexity (usually lower end of the spectrum) I try to be creative and have fun with a variety of yarns, fabrics, and other goodies.
DEAL: If you get a unitard painting, wig, and tail from me, fluffies will be discounted to $2-10 depending on complexity.
Currently For Sale - Updated Mar. 5
Full/Main Costumes
Two Face/Nolan Verse Wig + Latex Prosthetic Mask $180 OBO: WILLING TO TRADE/BARTER
This is my most famous costume by far. I would be willing to throw in the shirt that's bloodied up with it for $5 more as well. With this, you will need a touch of spirit gum or latex and some make up to blend against your skin, but you will not go unnoticed. This is an amazing, nearly professional grade mask/wig, and he absolutely MUST be sold. Why? I had a bad falling out with the person who helped me make him and I do not want to endorse her anymore. EDIT: I positively LOATHE the person who helped me make this, and recently my opinion of her dropped lower than I could/can fathom. I want this thing gone. I would VERY much be interested in trading with this.
Cheshire Cat: $200 OBO: WILLING TO TRADE/BARTER
Unitard (Balltogs Small), Ribbon Collar w/ Jingle Bells, Yarn Wig, Big Tail
Unitard is heat set and special to me as I have many different layers, a ton of hatching, and embedded are different quotes the Cheshire Cat says, including "Jabberwocky" on the back written normally and backward so you'd need a mirror, "We're all mad here," and "I'm not all there myself." Wig is ridiculously soft. Collar jingles. Tail goes swish and is on a neat braided base of pink and purple. Many, many, many compliments at Wicked Faire. This Costume Won BEST Costume/BEST Alice in Wonderland Character. And he really CAN be yours!!! Would consider a trade, or trade and cash combo.
Yuuri from Kyou Kara Maou: $300 OBO: WILLING TO TRADE/BARTER
1, 2
School Boy Uniform Coat (Small and Medium--not good for XS), Morgif, Julia's Necklace
There is a pucker in the shoulder that can be removed easily - he was worth $120, Morgif has some battle damage but was worth $300, Julia's necklace was worth $50. So, doing the math, something worth $470 for $300 OBO. It's a steal. Will consider offers because I don't think I have the desire to cosplay Yuuri anymore. Will also consider trades or trade and cash combo.
Lestat Frock from The Vampire Chronicles: $70 OBO: WILLING TO TRADE/BARTER
The sleeves and bottom need to be hemmed, but otherwise complete. I would be willing to hem them for free.
The color is gorgeous, a blue/steel gray. The inside is partially lined in navy. The trim is gold with some blue. There's one part where it's connected and looks slightly rough but barely noticeable and could be covered with a brooch. For size... honestly because it stretches (4 way stretch, I believe), I think anyone from a small to large. Why I'm Selling This When I haven't Debuted It: Some of the fabric I used for it was picked up from the girl I absolutely hate with a passion who screwed me over. It makes me really angry, too angry to wear. He needs a home.
1, 2, 3, 4
Tsuzuki Asato Trench from Yami no Matsuei - $25 OBO
1
This is a fun coat, but I don't plan on cosplaying as Tsuzuki again since I'm not the biggest fan of Yami no Matsuei. This coat is a lovely grey/brown (more grey), Perry Ellis, and I think a L or XL (Men's). Again, I wear a XS/S, so yes, it WILL fit almost anyone. Definitely needs a new home since my basement isn't appropriate.
Wigs
Plato Wig: $90
1, 2
I'll be honest with you--I do NOT want to sell this wig. It's my second favorite wig, and I like that it can be used for Plato, Admetus, Mungojerrie, Rumpleteazer, Swings, and whoever. It's made from crepe hair, super comfortable, and has three blends of brown, one of black, and orange in there with two hints of red. The only reason why he's for sale is because of current joblessness. So hey, if you want him, now's the time before I pull him off the sales list. This wig is not up for trade/barter.
Back of Plato and Alonzo's Heads
Alonzo Wig: $30 OBO (REDUCED)
Another crepe wig. Why so cheap? I made a mistake ironing it so he's a little kinky - er, nothing dirty meant by that. The wig still looks cool. The more I brush him, the cooler and softer he gets. I like him lots. He has awesome fan ears. But he also really needs a home. Will consider all offers.
Munkustrap Wig: $25 OBO (REDUCED)
Crepe hair. Almost completely hand sewn. First try with Ear Flaps. Got a lot of attention. Based him more after a real cat but with the back pattern like Gruber's version. He needs a home. Will consider all offers. There's a tail that you can get too for a discount!
Reever Wenhamm - D.Gray-man: $20 OBO (REDUCED)
He is droopy! I can get him a bit more rigid but this is a wig that will need to be turned upside down and sprayed with hairspray at cons before use. It's amazing, it gets a TON of attention, and can be used for other characters. I normally wouldn't sell a wig this cheap since even now he should be worth about $70, but I'm desperate.Tails
For Tails, I need to get better pictures up but if interested I will get them up sooner rather than later.
DEAL: If you buy a wig from me and want a matching tail, you will get a 10% discount.
Pouncival, Plato, Admetus, Victor, Tumblebrutus, Etcetera, Swing, OC, Whoever Tail - Thick, Braided and Funky: $30
Munkustrap Tail: REDUCED: $20
Amazing tail. Just amazing. It's long. It's thick. It swishes. So many textures including a lot of homespun yarn. Fluffy. Very lovable. Ridiculously thick and huge. Even has a belt loop that one could use a real belt with as well as a cord or yarn or something (which I could make for you. BUT HERE'S A DEAL--want the Munk wig to go with his tail? $40.
Rum Tum Tugger/Demeter/Whoever Tail: REDUCED: $15
Swish Swish. Shake Shake Shake.
Pouncival/Carbuckety/Bill Bailey/Tumblebrutus/Admetus/Victor/Swing/OC: $12
Thin and WILD! Could be used for a LOT of cats. It uses a lot of string as well as yarn and neat cording.
1 , 2 . (Close up), 3
Misc.
Tripp Coat, Small (I think, maybe Medium), and PVC Pants, 9 Women's, XSmall Cheetah Print Hoodie - $40 for Coat; $20 for Pants; $20 for Hoodie
This is what I wore for Halloween in December as Hair Metal Tugger. Sold together as a set, I'll knock it down to $70. The pants DO have some wear but considering they're normally $65... 1, 2, 3
Snow Leopard Print Coat - $30 OBO
This should fit anyone from XS up to a smaller L because of the no-buttons and how it's left open. Coat falls above the hips. Forgot the company name though it was purchased for $75. Near mint.
Velvet Maroon/Purple Oscar Wilde-esque Coat, Medium - $5
1 and 2 Extremely NICE coat. Hangs well.
Black Mary Janes, size 9 - $8
These shoes are terribly cute, and barely worn too. I'm a 9.5 and they'd pinch because they're a size 9. My friend who's an 8.5 said they fit amazingly well, and I'm assuming a 9 would fit them great as well.
Red Plaid Punk Skirt, Medium - $6
Black Kilt-esque Skirt w/ snaps and yellow and neat stuff, Medium- $6
Barely worn. I got this for a rave that I never ended up being able to attend. It's not my style, but definitely someone else's.
Grey Plaid Schoolgirl Skirt, Medium - $6
Again, barely worn. I thought it'd look cute but not for me. I'm not really a skirts person.
Gibson Bass Guitar + Amp + Cables + Soft Case - $500
Sample
Again, ALL inquiries regarding price will be taken into consideration because I'm pretty desperate now.
Why Consider Me:
a) I'm economical.
b) I work ridiculously quickly. When I have materials, wigs are completed within four days, usually only two, tails within one day, and unitard paintings seven days. The only reason for delay is the time for getting materials if I don't have them out of pocket.
c) I'm nice?
d) You're nice.
e) I don't really have an E so uh. Extra Nice?
f) Oh, I remembered what was going to be E--if you make multiple purchases from me, I will discount them.
All prices are in USD. Shipping options TBD. Thank you for your consideration!
