| Cooking Spray's the alias, but I commonly answer to CS (and even Cee-Ehs, just because phonetics are oh-so irritatingly lovely). Ask me the story and I'll tell you; it's disappointingly simple. I am a barely legal female carbon-based lifeform, which is a euphemistic way we tricksy intellectuals with our witticisms and our multi-syllables like to affirm our humanity. I do not believe in biographies which list every detail of a person's being down to the current shade of their toenails and their favorite Johnny Depp movie (okay, maybe the last one), although I have been guilty of composing some Tolstoy-worthy ones in the past. However, I am somewhat of a completist, so this humble slice of web pie will most likely be used in a fashion deemed appropriate to summate the essence of myself - and brevity is not my strong suit. Me, give a synopsis in less than five paragraphs? Inconceivable! I am a sarcastic, offbeat, introverted, free-thinking waif of an X-chromosome. I enjoy any and all excuses to get trussed up in outfits of my own concoction with make-up to match (and if I don't have an excuse, I'll invent my own), and pose in front of the camera/walk down my driveway to get the mail/sit and look pretty. I procrastinate expediently, have a nonexistent biological clock, and think that touching and driving are both icky. Most of my waking hours are shamelessly and voluntarily spent a) in front of the computer, b) in front of the television, c) in front of the mirror, d) in bed. I am shy upon first acquaintance and in front of an audience, but in all other forums, rarely ever quiet. I have many opinions and few beliefs. I am an elitist, and although I will be kind enough to your face until it kills, stupidity will be the death of me before my niceness is. I'm 5"7, weigh 105 pounds, and do naught but sit on my ass all day without a thought to words such as "carbohydrates" and "calories" unless they're synonymous with "yummy". I'm excellent with useless facts and terrible with pertinent information. I'm a fully articulate fangirl, which is worse in its own way. You may reserve the right to despise me for who I am, but not on a false impression. Obsession is my life. To live without fandom is to live without air (which is to say Certain Death). I am endeared to the idea of endearment. I am fully positive and unapologetic that my fictional happinesses can sustain me through most of life. These are facts. Also, I butter my waffles after I put syrup on them. I've decided that my approach to breakfast is also indicative of my approach to life, and thus far, haven't been proven wrong. |

Demeter costume pieces for sale!
LazyCommissions!
I offer custom commissions for pieces based on the costumes of the musical CATS, and of a feline nature. Below is a list of examples, prices, and services available. Prices and Services Unitard PaintingI offer painting only, as I am not a seamstress. I use Jacquard's textile inks and a variety of brushes, sponges, and bottles for my techniques. Examples of my previous unitard work can be found below:  Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 Example 5 Example 6Painting starts at $75, and depending on the complexity of the design, can be higher. Inquire with photos of what you have in mind, and I will be able to give you a more exact quote. I also will add fluff upon request for an additional fee of $15 for Homespun yarn, and $25 for custom dyed silk organza. WigsI can make full wigs for almost any character, including original designs. Examples of my previous work can be found below: Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 Example 5 Example 6My wigs are made using a control-top pantyhose base. Ear flaps are constructed out of cross-stitch fabric or tulle, at the customer's discretion. All fibers are either sewn or hot-glued into place. Yarn wigs begin at $55. I use a variety of yarns to create the most blended and authentic effect possible. I do not use rug yarn, although I will work with it upon request. You may send me specific yarns to use. I will return the amount left with the finished product. This can be beneficial if you are making the warmers and tail yourself, and would like all pieces to match. Crepe wool wigs begin at $80. Difficult characters such as Cassandra and Tantomile, or any character that requires extra styling, may necessitate a higher price. TailsI will also make tails for any character, including original designs. Examples of previous tails I've made can be found below: Example 1 Example 2 Example 3Traditional tails and German-style tails are crafted on a sturdy braided yarn base, and are hand-tied. Additionally, I hot glue to create a full-bodied and "boofy" effect. I will also braid you a corresponding tail belt from matching yarns upon request. German-style and traditional tails start at $28, belt an additional $2. Glued tails start at $60, belt an additional $2. In all cases, specialty yarns, such as eyelash, angora, and Homespun, require an additional fee of $7. ShoesI will custom paint dance shoes to match an existing costume or design. A few examples of these alterations can be found below: Example 1 Example 2I use Jacquard's textile inks and a special sealant/fixative to prolong durabilty. I will also work with rubber, foam, and felt to create the "paw pad" effect upon request. Simple "kitten paw" markings (paw pads and toe markings) are $10. Full shoe paintings start at $18. "Kitten paws" are optional. Note: Foam and rubber will disintegrate with time and wear, as they are not durable materials. They are provided for aesthetic value only. GlovesI will custom paint or dye gloves to match your costume. Examples of gloves I've painted in the past can be found below: Example 1 Example 2I use Jacquard's textile inks, RIT dye, and a variety of brushes, sponges, and bottles to create my techniques. If the gloves are to be fingerless, a fixative will be used to prevent fraying. Glove painting starts at $15. Glove dyeing starts at $22. I also will add fluff upon request for an additional fee of $5 for Homespun yarn, and $10 for custom dyed silk organza. Policies1. I will not order pieces for you. It is your responsibility to purchase them yourself and send them to me. If you are in need of assistance in doing so, I can direct you to several sites that may be helpful. 2. Although they are unlisted, I will clarify once again - I do not accept collar or warmer commissions. I am not a knitter, and do not have the tools for leatherworking. They are many other talented individuals who offer these services, but I am not one of them. 3. I am not responsible for merchandise lost or otherwise damaged in the mail. Once it is out of my care, it is no longer my responsibility. To avoid this, I require that a small insurance fee be paid in addition to shipping. 4. All of my workmanship is done to the very best of my abilities. I will never send you sub-par work. 5. In order to meet the customer's satisfaction to the highest degree possible, providing photo references along with a detailed description is strongly recommended. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee that the end product will meet your qualifications. 6. My time is valuable. If I feel that you are not respecting it, I reserve the right to drop you and your commission from the list. Similarly, I reserve the right to refuse any commission I do not wish to take on, although I usually will not do so without an explanation. Please only employ my services if you are a serious customer. 7. I require 30% of payment up front before beginning a commission. This is non-refundable. If I do not receive this amount from you within a suitable length of time, I will drop your commission. Similarly, if you do not deliver the remaining amount of your payment after I have finished your commission, I will drop you from the list. 8. Good communication is key during the process of any business transaction. I, as a costumer, will do my best to keep you informed along the progress of your commission, and ask that you do the same. Exceptions will be made where they are due. 9. Even the most well-constructed costumes will fade and develop wear over time. I will do everything in my ability to prevent this from happening in an untimely fashion, but with use, it is inevitable that your costume will develop the need for touch-ups and repair. 10. If you have a project that isn't listed, or isn't specifically CATS-related, and were wondering if I would consider it, it never hurts to ask. I do not knit or sew, and the worst I can say is no. I am open to trying my hand at different things if I think I am capable of the task. 11. If you choose to commission me, I hope to create both an enjoyable experience and end product. I look forward to doing business! Commission SystemI accept commissions on a small, limited basis - first-come, first-serve. My work ethic tends to be slow and detail-concentrated, although you are guaranteed to receive a product of the highest quality I can offer. If your project has a deadline, be sure to notify me, so I can be sure to limit my time frame to meet it. I will accept commissions no later than four weeks prior to the due date. Small exceptions may be made at my discretion if my schedule is not very full at the time, depending heavily on the type of commission. If all the slots are filled, you will be placed on a waiting list until one becomes available, unless my schedule is too burdened. Current Commission Status: Open Contact InfoFor all inquiries and business propositions, you may reach me at magicalsporkgirlcs_chan@yahoo.com. I will try to respond to you in a prompt and thorough manner. If you are placing a commission, I ask that you check the status first - if I am on hiatus at the current time, or if all slots are filled, this information will be listed here for your benefit. Methods of PaymentI accept PayPal (credit cards, debit cards, and bank accounts), and money orders. I do not accept personal checks or cash. Money orders will be withheld until verified. |
