OAD Picture Post

We've finally remembered to post pictures that were taken at a con somewhat soon after it's over!  We didn't take too many pictures at OAD this past Saturday but the ones we did we're pretty good!  

First we got some new booth babes to come and hang out at our booth!
I think they did a pretty good job of getting people's attention.  

Piccolo and Maaya Pakamoto bring in the customers

Someone asked us if they could design their own button since we like to have
the button maker at the booth and of course we said yes!  Unfortunately when I went to
make the first button it got ruined so she made another one which led to this hilarious
picture of the two X3

Gengar is upset with how the original button came out

And finally we decided to try out something new at OAD that we are definitely going to 
continue making:  Grab Bags!  They're full of stuff that we make and other random goodies
and there will usually be one of two that have double the amount of prizes in it!  You also get 
three free buttons of your choice when you buy one which is an added bonus!

There is actually another bonus that we didn't expect to be so popular with the grab bags; you get 
to pick from a variety of random drawings on the bags.  We never expected people would want to 
keep these things we drew at one in the morning but we're glad they were well liked X3 And 
without further ado, the grab bag collection!

Orlando Anime Day

We had a great time seeing everyone at Orlando Anime Day today!  We really love to attend OAD cause it's such a fun little event and if you haven't been to an Anime Day before we definitely suggest you check one out!  I think there's 5 different cities they're hosted at right now in the Southeast and they always seem to be getting more shows going in other places.  You can check out the page here for more info~  I'll also be posting some pictures tomorrow for everyone to see but for now I need rest X3

In other news, though we're not officially attending as The Tofustache, we're going to have a presence at Otakon at the end of the month!  Our great friends at Athena's Wink needed some help with their booth so Amanda will be up there helping them out as well as selling some of our stuff!  So make sure to stop by and say hi to her and check out the sweet swag Athena's Wink sells as well (it's pretty sweet!).  They'll be at booth I-13 in the dealer's room and I will be here in FL playing pinball while they're both working mwahahaha!

Now it is time for rest because tomorrow the work begins again!

My Little Pony Jewelry Sweatshop


OMG soooo tired. Past 3 days my living room has turned into a My Little Pony jewelry sweatshop. D: I have some friends that are selling at Bronycon this weekend (http://www.etsy.com/shop/AthenasWink), who have been gracious enough to sell my jewelry at their table. Unfortunately, I got so caught up in working on hoodie orders, and I grossly miscalculated how much time I would need to make jewelry to send them. So the end result has been staying up until about 7 in the morning, working all night, sleeping for a few hours and then continuing to work. I wound up having to pay crazy $ to send the package express, but good news is that it should be there tomorrow, and I will hopefully make a lot of money, making all the stress and lack of sleep worth it lol.

I attempted to take some pictures of the sweatshop with my phone, which unfortunately has a REALLY crappy camera.



I wasn't sure how much to make of everything since I've never sold at an event that was strictly MLP, so I tried to make as much as possible (though there was still more that  plus this was the first time I've had someone else sell my jewelry for me. I tried to make everything as organized as possible so everything should be really easy to understand, but I can't help but feel apprehensive since I'm not actually there. *fingers crossed* Everything should go well though~

All in all, I have a pretty crazy and restless month ahead of me until Otakon, but I am plan on relaxing as hard as possible after that! Going to definitely need a day of nothing but lounging by the pool, drinking beer and hanging with friends~

Metrocon 2012!

Metrocon is coming up this weekend and we are working hard to finish up everything!  If you're attending be sure to stop by and visit us in the Artist's Alley at booth A-16!  I decorated this map terribly in MSPaint so it'll be easy to find us!

New designs I've vectored. Just made the new Avatar designs today, in time for Animazement this weekend. I had to make the shipping designs lol. If Tumblr is any indicator, there are some pretty crazy Mako/Korra and Bolin/Korrin fans out there, so it seemed like a good business idea to make something extra for them. I want to make a Fire Ferrets logo too! ;D

I already have the new pony designs available in my store (as necklaces, lanyards and magnets), and will try to get the Avatar designs up soon!
