M'kay, it's Amaya. I've got to start clearing things out and downsizing for some con money and because I'll be going to college this fall and I need to get rid of some things. Prices are as they would be if we could meetup and deliver; it's about a dollar more or so, depending on the item, if I have to ship it. I can go anywhere Trimet will go xD.
CANNOT TAKE ANYMORE COMMISSIONS AT THE MOMENT UNTIL I GET WHAT I HAVE DONE.

Seamstress
Any cosplay/prop. I have more experience with fabric and costumes, but I want to branch out into props more. I can also make non-cosplay, e.i. Gothic Lolita, VK, or other things. We'll talk on prices.
I have a PayPal(XxRelena@aol.com), but I accept cash, check, concealed cash, whatever so long as the money gets to me. ^^
I will also only start on a piece AFTER I receive payment; this is because, for most of the pieces, most of if not all payment goes to the fabric. I really will make very, very little profit on any of them. xD I will also be making a seperate deviantart from my usual one (mitsukaimizuamaya) where I will be posting in progress pictures as well as final pictures. The name will be CosplayIncognitoDesigns, and I'll post a link here when I've made it.

just the shorts and top.. i have the shark XD and how much would you charge for it? i might end up making it myself but i have no idea how to go about making shorts -_-

GwarNekoChan · « **Reply #5 on:** April 08, 2010, 02:04:13 pm »

How much would it be for this~? :3

Just the costume and hat. :3 No shoes. |D

CloudStrife32 · « **Reply #6 on:** April 09, 2010, 03:08:05 am »

Just a question, would you be able to make this jacket?
Clickie~here! :3

And if you can, how much would you charge? =O

crystalamaris · « **Reply #7 on:** April 12, 2010, 07:33:17 am »

Is the Twilight books paperback, or hardback? One of my friends lost my other friend's books, and I'm looking into replacing them. Hopefully they're hardback.

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #8 on:** April 13, 2010, 12:44:31 am »

@Gwar: let's see... 60

@Cloud: Leon's jacket? 30 for fake leather, 50 for real

@crystal: Twilight is paperback, Eclipse, New Moon, and Breaking Dawn are hardback

@sporkoon: 30 n.n

Sorry it took so long guys; I've been dealing with college scholarships and apps!

CloudStrife32 · « **Reply #9 on:** April 13, 2010, 01:14:48 am »

Alright! I'll keep that in mind then.
Thank you, Mitsu~ :3

sporkoon · « **Reply #10 on:** April 13, 2010, 01:27:40 am »

ooh! only 30? i think i'll do that then! XD no hurry though ^_^ whenever you get time is good

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #11 on:** April 13, 2010, 01:30:37 am »

Just seeing my options, just in case I can't do it all myself ^^;

So...

Kaito's coat: http://i864.photobucket.com/albums/ab206/mizuchinightray/Konachan_com_-_36036_kaito_vocaloid.jpg

Mad Hatter: http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/princejackson/alice-wonderland-posters-03.jpg
(mainly just his jacket)

Riku's jacket: http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t154/SeverusSnape09/Kingdom%20Hearts/riku-2-1.jpg

crystalamaris · « **Reply #12 on:** April 13, 2010, 04:04:15 am »

I don't get payed until the 23, so I can't buy them until then, but I'd like the three hardbacks. If you still have them, I'll buy them then. Unfortunatily, I don't have paypal. Would concealed cash or money order work?

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #13 on:** April 14, 2010, 09:55:00 pm »

@Cloud: you're very welcome. ^^

@sporkoon: I'll get started on it this weekend maybe, but probably next week sometime. So much college stuff... @.@ xD

@nekovamp: Kaito: 30 for the coat
Mad Hatter: 40(That is a hard jacket to make, with the different colors inside it xD)
Riku: Do you mean the white one? If so, 20. ^^

@crystal: That's fine; I've been paid both ways before. ^^ I'm just glad to get them away from me xD

crystalamaris · « **Reply #14 on:** April 14, 2010, 10:22:44 pm »

Alright. If you want to give me your contact info, I'll send out the money as soon as I can.

By the way... do you make plushies?

ChibiGrace · « **Reply #15 on:** April 14, 2010, 10:47:36 pm »

Edward Elric Coat?!?!? What kind of price are we looking at? (Maybe a duck cotten or similar fabric...?)

http://www.shadowdalecreations.com/fma_coat_views.png (There are buttons on the picture but I'd say no on the buttons for my own.)

sporkoon · « **Reply #16 on:** April 15, 2010, 02:08:42 am »

yay! no problem take your time ^_^ and one more weird thing.. i already have the fabric but could you make a big stuffed banana? >_<

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #17 on:** April 15, 2010, 02:34:31 pm »

@crystal: I'll pm it to you. As for plushies... I have stuff to make some, but I have yet to try my hand at them. xD After I do some more comissions I might try them.

@Chibi: I can do that for about 30; about 40 if you want lining in the jacket. Now, for a specific kind of fabric like duck cotton, I'll ahve to order it, so it might be a bit more. I'll have to look into it.

@sporkoon: xD That I can do. I need to make a giant Tuna for my Seychelles cosplay anyway. ^^

ChibiGrace · « **Reply #18 on:** April 15, 2010, 02:53:05 pm »

I don't need lining and 30 sounds good!
Hm, if I need to, I can pay some extra for fabric, but doesn't have to be a certain fabric. As long as it isn't a thin fabric. Something heavier like a woven fabric was what I was thinking. (But I am a sewing novice, so you probably know better than me.)

Either way, after we figure out the details, I'll definitly do it.

You can PM me to finish up the deal. ^_^

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #19 on:** April 15, 2010, 03:10:32 pm »

@Chibi: but of course xD I'm at school right now, so when I get home I'll figure out the price and pm you. I would never disgrace Edward Elric in making his jacket out of thin material! xD FMA FOREVER!

ChibiGrace · « **Reply #20 on:** April 15, 2010, 04:51:38 pm »

Hahaha! Thank you, Amaya-sempai! Just talk to me when you have time!

FMA forever!!!11!!1!!!!one!11!!!!! Yay for over enthusiasm! XD

sporkoon · « **Reply #21 on:** April 15, 2010, 05:29:13 pm »

yay! the banana is for kaolla su from love hina XD the fabric is pretty thick, like plushie fabric but the fibers arent long.. thats a great description there -_- i also have a bunch of stuffing for it too

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #22 on:** April 15, 2010, 06:04:18 pm »

@chibi: next week is when I'll probably start asking for measurements and things. This weekend I'm cleaning and taking inventory of what I do have in terms of fabric and things. ^^

@spork: I have no idea who that is. xD I take it you might want me to make it for you? I'll do it for free. ^^

sporkoon · « **Reply #23 on:** April 15, 2010, 08:34:19 pm »

really??? *LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE* ^_________________^ su is the greatest ever!! http://www.animegalleries.net/img/18307 but her outfit is pretty much generic schoolgirl so i need the banana for her to be recognizable hehe.. and even when im not her having a giant stuffed banana is pretty great! XD

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #24 on:** April 15, 2010, 09:23:21 pm »

Do you have pictures of your commissions so far? For reference?

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #25 on:** April 15, 2010, 09:51:13 pm »

That's AWESOME! How much would it be for Kairi's outfit do you think?

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #27 on:** April 15, 2010, 10:11:52 pm »

xD For Kairi? Let's see... how's 50 sound? ^^

Quote from: Mitsukai Mizu Amaya on April 15, 2010, 10:11:52 pm

xD For Kairi? Let's see... how's 50 sound? ^^

So would it include the dress/hood and the belt/purse thingie? Or just the dress/hood?

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #31 on:** April 15, 2010, 10:23:36 pm »

@Scar:
UMMM....yes.
And then maybe just the price for the blue part. > u >

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #32 on:** April 15, 2010, 10:39:00 pm »

@Vamp: dress, hood, and black belt/purse thingy xD

@KFC: For the whole costume: 70
For the blue: 40 (it's huge, blue, and the trim is killer xD)

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #33 on:** April 15, 2010, 10:39:57 pm »

WHAT A DEAL! Heck yes I'll commission that from you! When would you want me to pay and how?

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #34 on:** April 15, 2010, 10:40:30 pm »

@Scar:
And the whole costume would count the belt with tail things, shoes, etc? Everything but the weapon..or? 8D Cause that is an amazing deal weapon or not.

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #35 on:** April 15, 2010, 10:48:25 pm »

@Vamp: I have paypal, but I'll accept concealed cash or check. I prefer to get the money upfront, at least until I can build up enough savings to be able to make the cosplay first, but right now I would need it to pay for the fabric and stuff xD

@KFC: Belt, armbands, shorts (or whatever she's wearing under that massive sarog xD), shirt, tails, and boot covers. If you want me to actually make/alter the shoes, it'll be more probably. I would have to buy a base pair and build on top of it.

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #36 on:** April 15, 2010, 10:51:48 pm »

@Scar:
AWESOME~ ILU. XD
The boot covers sound good although to be lazy I'll probably just wear adjuested flip flops and then use the boot covers over that. c:
Then all I'd have to do left is make her jewlrey. c:

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #37 on:** April 15, 2010, 10:52:46 pm »

Okay, well I'm in the midst of purchasing a few other items but as soon as those are done and paid for I can send you the money through PayPal once I'm sure I have enough money. Is that alright?

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #38 on:** April 15, 2010, 11:49:42 pm »

@KFC: send me pics of the jewelry. I might be able to maek them too.

@Vamp: Yup; that's fine. my e-mail is xxrelena@aol.com; just tell me when you send it so I can get it transfered to my bank account, then I'll get get the fabric.

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #39 on:** April 15, 2010, 11:58:08 pm »

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #40 on:** April 16, 2010, 12:38:12 am »

xD Yeah: I can make those for an extra ten, if you'd like.

And about the l'Cie tattoo on her arm; unlike the others, you probably won't be able to stencil it on easily sadly. I'd look into getting a custom-made temporary tattoo. You could try stenciling a base, and adding in the shading and stuff, but that's so much work O-O

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #41 on:** April 16, 2010, 09:35:09 am »

WOO~ That works. I'll see if I can't get some extra money for it all this week (from how many were posting you probably want some time. XD)

Hmmmm that I'll have to do. Either that or make my friend stencil most of it but those lines that are coming out. She's pretty good at things like that. But then again she's been in art class for like....11 years now. XD

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #42 on:** April 16, 2010, 04:49:04 pm »

That sound good. ^^

You can find quite a few good places that'll make the tattoos online through a quick google search for "temporary tattoos" or something like that.

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #43 on:** April 16, 2010, 06:40:45 pm »

Hmmmmm thank you. 8'D TO GOOGLE~

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #44 on:** April 19, 2010, 02:08:24 pm »

xDD Well, I've made a list of everyone. I'll also be editing the first post with payment plans and options... take note that I cannot start on the pieces until I receive payment for them, because the payment goes towards buying the fabric. ^^

ChibiGrace · « **Reply #45 on:** April 19, 2010, 04:47:31 pm »

So, can I send you the money? ($30, correct?)

Do I need to include shipping costs? And if so, please let me know how much! PM if I got any details wrong! ^_^

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #46 on:** April 19, 2010, 05:54:07 pm »

about five dollars if you want me to ship it, please. ^^

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #47 on:** April 20, 2010, 08:04:41 pm »

I think I want to have you do Kaito's coat. Wondering, what fabric were you planning on making it with?

sporkoon · « **Reply #48 on:** April 20, 2010, 10:02:26 pm »

money sent! (paypal) and here are my measurements

shoulders 17 in
bust 35 in
waist 32 in
hips 42 in (big butt -_-)

and i have some more pics for the details on the sleeves and shorts, but i have to get the manga which is at my parents house >_<

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #49 on:** April 20, 2010, 10:25:47 pm »

m'kay then. ^^ I'll get ti transfered to my bank account so I can start on it.

@neko: Hm... cotton, probably. and ribbon for the blue using a short hankerchief stitch probably. If you want lining, I'll probably use sating for the lining. NOT COSTUME, mind you. That stuff fails so hard. xD

cloud-9 · « **Reply #50 on:** April 24, 2010, 05:43:52 pm »

When your doing estimates again I'm totally interested!!

9008 se valentine dr Happy Valley Oregon 97086

Pictures of the inprogress will be up sometime this weekend. I'm just a little hectic with school and graduation crap. xD

Let's see...

Edward: just need to hem the jacket and stitch the symbol on
Shark: Top almost done, then onto the bottom. If I can get my pictures, that'll help so I know I'm doing the back right. n.n
Kairi: Belt, black hood, and white straps/top thingy done; just waiting on the fabric
Vanille: Main beading done. Half the strands at the hip done; 1/3 of the little ones on the bottom strand around the waist done. Fur and pouch are going to be remade as soon as I find a fabric store that sells by the yard fur (JoAnn fail >>) as well as the pink sash because it turned out a little short. Clay to be done. Getting dye soon for the gradual dye on the skirt thingy.

I'll take comissions again as soon as Edward, Shark, and Kairi are done. Which will hopefully be very soon. n.n

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #58 on:** May 16, 2010, 08:43:52 pm »

Oh wow. Sorry guys. I've got the pictures taken, but I kinda... might have... dropped the camera off my back porch/balcony thingy when taking Serah pics afterwards. n.n;; I called a friend of mine just a moment ago, and I'll be borrowing her camera tomorrow because the card in the camera is fine, so I'm going to plug it into hers if I can. So... around five or six I'll send out the url of where the pics are ^^

ChibiGrace · « **Reply #59 on:** May 16, 2010, 08:46:49 pm »

All right! It's fine! Stuff like that happens. (Happens to me a lot. -.-")
It sucks you broke your camra though. Replacing camras and such is annoying. I'm sorry.

Well, anyway, I can't wait to see the pictures~!

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #60 on:** May 17, 2010, 01:18:21 am »
