Vending - Tumblr Posts
This was the other thing that kept me busy this last month: I was vending at a Boston-area LARP convention called Intercon. I’ve been attending and vending there for a couple years, and it’s always fun. It’s on the small end for selling, but it’s a great place for costumes and masks.
The last photo shows all the masks I’d made for it in the week leading up to the convention. A bunch of new copies of designs I’ve done before, and a few new designs. I’ll probably be photographing a pile of them and posting individual shots soon.
Photos of my vending booth at the convention I was at this last weekend. The convention was Intercon, a LARPing convention I’ve been going to for a few years now. It’s a fairly quiet convention as far as selling goes, since people are mostly there to play LARPs. Very different feeling from a typical fandom convention. But I always sell a decent amount of costume parts.
Sadly I was unable to get onto a laser cutter in the time leading up to the convention, due to things being down for maintenance. So I couldn’t restock masks, which made me feel bad. Though I’d forgotten just how many medium-to-large sized things I had stashed away, so it turned out I easily filled the table.
I think one of the cutters is back online now, so I should be able to make some orders people’d made through Etsy last week. I’m thinking about new designs to make again, so that feels good. Weather and lighting permitting, I’ll probably get some photos of some small things to post to Etsy in the next week. And I’m hoping to open for dragon tail commission requests soon, so keep your eyes open for that.
I'm at Arisia! Got me two tables filled up nicely with leather masks and armor and jewelry! Hooray for getting enough stuff produced to have a respectable booth, even though I only had a week's notice!
Not the best photos, but I wanted to show what my table at Anthro New England looked like!
The convention went extremely well. Selling by myself the whole weekend was very tiring, but I was so excited to show all the new things I’d made in the last 2 years.
Closeup photo is of my shitpost corner. The pet rocks are classics that I always like to make. The slap bracelets I worked out specifically for this convention, because the theme was The 90s.
Here's some photos of my table setup from Anthro New England, finally getting around to posting them.
I had 2 nearly totally separate table setups, actually--one from the regular dealers' den, and one from the 18+ night market. The daytime table had all my masks and jewelry, the after-dark one had mostly collars and codpieces, with the big hoods and a couple harnesses thrown in for good measure.
The convention was my most successful one to date, but I aim to do even better in the future!
