Those are gorgeous. Expensive, but worth it xD The longest ones are paid for in payments of 600 dollars x___x Mine was in payments of 60.

Whoa! REALLY?! The price under it say 245! D; It's more than that?!?!

For the Empress gowns? It may be a down payment or something XD The one time I looked at the longest gown, it was around 600 bucks, and it still wasn't close to the full payment.

Oh! I'm not looking at her gowns. I was talking about that link I showed ya. I like that length.

OOOH lol. I was talking about the absolute longest gowns she does xD
Those are around 500 all together, I think, but I may be mistaken. You should mail her and get a price estiment, she's really nice :)

EDIT: I think I'm mistaken, but idk XD

Yeah, phew. I almost lost it. XD Sheesh Kyo. Scur me. D; If I had any sort of money I'd happily ask her... I'm kinda jobless right now so to speak. Once I get a contract again maybe I'll ask her. :)

You should :) My mom always tells me to have a little goal put aside for myself to save up for. Plus, if you wait a while, she'll probably get it done quicker since she won't be bombarded with Christmas orders.

I think the ones you want are around 200-300 dollars, which isn't bad. Mine was 180, and she used all of her own material. If you send her your own material, though, it's a lot cheaper.

I've got so many goals and things I want/need to do. It's hard to be fully motivated though...and finding RL commission work is even harder these days. Wish I could sell jewelry like I want. I have SO many beads and so many ideas but no desire to make anything for myself. I recently made myself a rainbow peyote bracelet though...

I don't know much about material choices. >_< It'd be best for her to use hers. XD I'd send her crap probably... o_o

You'll get motivated :) I know exactly how you feel. Hopefully you'll get more commissions once people have money to spend after the holidays.

Thanks. :) Yeah, I hope so. I really need to buckle down and learn to paint faster so I don't lose inspiration like I tend to do. Making jewelry is easier for me though, which is why I'd rather do that more. If my mom's sewing machine worked (I've tried fixing it myself but it doesn't stay fixed) I'd practice my seamstress work. >_<

I wonder how much sewing machines cost o_o Probably a lot. I used to love making jewelry, it's fun.

Yeah, a lot. Lol. I think mom's costed 300 and that's just the machine. Hers is a Babylock, which is one of the top brands. It's nice. >_< My older brother messed with it before I got a chance to look at it and so I couldn't fix it. It's was barely broken, then he used it and broke it further. Now I'd have to take it to a professional to get it repaired. I don't even wanna think about how much that would cost. e_e

Hm, I'm not sure. You could look it up and get some estimates or something.

Yeah, I'm gonna try to find some blueprints.


Aww! So much for Ma listening and not getting me anything. She got me a full collectors set of all of Studio Ghibli's movies. Only one it doesn't have is Ponyo. :O I've been wanting the whole set for forever but never bought it when I had the money. She's so hard headed. XD

Omg I love those movies! My favorite is a tie between Howl's Moving Castle and Kiki's Delivery Service.

Ponyo was good, I still haven't seen the newest one.

I love those too! :D

It has Castle in the sky, Grave of the Fireflies, Princess Mononoke, My Neighbor Tortoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Porreo Rosso, Spirited Away, The cat returns, My neighbors the Yamadas, Howl's Moving Castle, Nausicaa, and Pom Poko
