SteamPunk Is good for me

Yes you are going to be hearing that a lot if all goes well.
 It started with just a simple thing Steampunk. I had seen some outfits heard the basic description. 
Decided for fun to make a Halloween costume as I have blogged about. What started to happen though would take me by surprise.

I made my outfit for Halloween. My work on adding to it got set a side with the Estrella war and coronation in the SCA. Figured I get back to it. Then I found out a friend of mine was working on a Steampunk Web series. She had an event she was going to to promote it but didn't really have a costume. All I did was throw together a quick Bustle for her. Something she could wear over another shirt. I don't remember seeing her wear it during the event but I was not there the whole 4 days. But she thought it would be a great item to sell. Of course It have been told I can sell my stuff but had not had any luck. So I didn't really think about it.

Then an Art walk came up where my friend was going to promote the movie and I decided to go with her. She wore her bustle I had made her and I wore one I had made up the night before for myself. What happened still has me wondering if I dreamed it.

We were in one of the Store that had a little bit of everything art, clothes, jewelry, books, and cd. A lot of stuff from a lot of local artist. When the owner makes a comment about the bustles. My friend tells her I made them. The next thing I know I am being asked if I would like to consign them. From agreeing to call them after the weekend to getting the email with the contract I have not believed it. I will be calling them on Monday to set a time for me to go in. Once I know that my Bustles are going to be in the store I will be Blogging and tweeting my experience to let others know and I will then give out the names to the Store, the movie and my friend because in all honesty this is the quick version of the Story and each part deserves it's own Blog.

Wish me luck.
