It has come to my attention that I spend almost as much time painting custom weapons as I do in the actual building process. This has unfortunately been costing me money in terms of time when it comes to creating custom made weapons.

Instead of randomly raising prices, however, what I have chosen to do is offer customers the choice of base tape colors at te prices listed or spending an extra $15 for custom paint job. I think this will help to rectify the issue.

For the time being I am going to work with four basic tape colors, brown, black, gray and white. For the most part I will built blades in gray with hilts in choice of brown of black standard. On request, I can vary the colors within the four as the customer wishes, within reason.

Custome paint jobs can be added for an additional $15. This should allow me to put a good amount of effort into the paint without feeling like I need to hurry the job to get my time’s worth out of the commission price. Anyone who has seen my custom paint work, I hope, would feel that $15 is more than worth the added expense.

I have added links for my shop on Etsy (featuring much of the Steampunk related jewelry items and such) as well as put back up the Armory page detailing the LARP and Prop weapons that I make. I will probably come back and put up pages specifically to talk about the Jewelry and other craft pieces as well and may add a link for the Armory page to the Links list in the side column later just to have everything in one handy location.

I am officially back from AWA.  I will put up a full Con Report in a day or so.  I wanted to say ‘hello’ to anyone finding us for the first time.  Thanks for stopping by the table.  Please bear with me for a couple days as the site goes through some renovations.  I promise I will have most of the pertinent links and information up very shortly.
