Update 4 Past Cons and Stuff

Thu Jun 11, 2009, 1:14 PM

Many thanks go out to the people that came by my booth! Many were very interesting to talk with and share my love of wirewrap.
I've been lax in my posting of info on conventions. So here it is:

Fanime:
WAS HUGE!!!! The artist alley was very big. The tables were the typical size but the walk way in between was very wide. That gave lots of room for people to meander and see the booths from a distance if needed.
There was also numerous people populating the con. Very colorful cosplayers and even some original characters. I should have taken a picture.
I think the only thing that didn't go smoothly was our set up the first day. *Jianre-M and I had stayed up later the night before to make up some of the stock we had neglected. The next morning the fruits of our labor hindered us as we all got up about an hour later than we had planned.

We got our stuff and headed out but when we got to the con the line was super long to register so that took some time(The staff were really helpful as we had many bags) and directed us to the AA hall. There was also a line there. Unfortunately there was only an hour directed to setup before the doors were opened to the public so we were still in line when they came streaming past us. But we got our table assignments and set up slowly as people came to see what we had. So it worked out in the end.
Oh!!! *Jianre-M and I didn't get a table stalker this con!

Though we did have a protest outside by a christian group that decided that since there were scantly clad women and it was anime, that we were all sinning. So they protested us being there and the con goers decided to protest back by singing the 'Numa Numa' song at them.
As we left the convention each day there was a group of dancers in the entrance hall that would bring a boom box to dance to. Mostly break dancing. It was very interesting to watch as we waited for our ride the come and get us. One of those days there was a bigger group than usual, all guys taking turns and showing off to a group of Sailor Scout cosplayers. One of them (the guys) did a move right in front of the SailorMoon girl; SailorJupiter nudged her but Moon shook her head. The same guy danced some more and Jupiter nudged her again as he was finishing. Then Moon threw up her hands and took the floor. She was really good and all the guys were pointing and stareing. They started to cheer her on but it was really funny.
It was a very interesting con and I plan to go back next year.

Califur:
Was very fun! I enjoy going to Califur because of the feel of a furry con is so much different than the feel to an anime con. People are there to have fun and share our love of furry and fuzzy creatures. Anime cons have a more frenzied feel to the environment as people try to get places and see everything. I don't know how to really explain it. Anime cons are fun too just in a different way I guess.
Anyway this con was *Jianre-M and my first time as returning artists. We also moved from the artist alley to the dealer's den. Totally worth it. Sadly I didn't do so well in sales but *Jianre-M went to town with commissions. I had a blast making stuff and talking to my fellow furrys though.
One of the items I sold made me very happy though. Some of my Stone Scrunchies finally found people to adorn.
I also wrapped some different pendants. Ex. I had a glass snake that I have been having a hard time wrapping that some one found and wanted wrapped. I was also approached by a gentleman that had a piece of meteorite that he wanted me to do a simple wirewrap into a pendant. Unfortunately that one I forgot to get a picture of.
This con always has a very relaxed and sociable effect and I will be going to it next year as well.

Feathers:

Simply Done

Swirl Feather

Green Dream
These are the three feathers that I have made so far. Not many I apologize; I had meant to do more but I just seem to need space and time to get any done. Hopefully with almost a month in between our next con I will get my toosh in gear.

Chibi Charms:
*Jianre-M and I are still looking for characters to make charms of. All you need to do is suggest a character and if you can find a good reference picture, link it on that comment please. They are popular but we have a smaller selection than I like. For more detailed information Jianre's Journal on the Charms is up. If there is one on the list that you like alot tell us please! Any feed back is better than none.
