This is a general information message to all the people that have contacted me in the last two months regarding costume commissions and to anyone whom is interested in doing so.

I have received nearly 30 requests for various headdresses and full costumes, so instead of replying to each of you individually with more or less the same information this saves time that I could be using to work on your commissions so it works out better for everyone.


I am making a list and so far I pretty much only have user IDs and what you are interested in. What I need now is to know who is still interested in the commission they asked about and everyone who is.

If you have not done so yet, please send me an e-mail at Morgan@MorganCrone.com with your name, the ID I know you by, your deadline (if you have one) and your country for estimated shipping times and approximate shipping cost information.


I know I have mentioned this to a few of you already but I will repeat for those who don't know the situation I am currently in with were I am, work space and timing.


I've been in a very tiny apartment for the last 5 years with no space for costuming, the Loki costume was a very special situation so I did what I could with the space I had. I have literately a 4-foot-by-5-foot space to work in, that includes cutting and ironing, sewing, sculpting, sanding, carving, painting, etc.

Sometime between late June-early August I will be moving into a small home we'll be renting. It has a basement that I will be setting up as a studio and costume shop but until then I am very limited to what I am able to make and keep the timing and price reasonable being that the smaller the space the longer it takes, not to mention I loose things easily in the clutter for lack of storage. and then take a long time looking for them which isn't fair to have to charge anyone for that time spent looking for things or clearing space. But it also makes it so that I even more limited time.

Now, yours is the earliest deadline I currently have, followed by the 15 in October which does include some full outfits.


I have been making crafts for the last 5 years and no matter how much I have been trying to promote and post them I've just not had much luck. I guess I've been making the wrong things. Anyway, I never expected this sort of response so I am a bit overwhelmed with everything at once. Normally I wouldn't have an issue with all the deadlines but as you just read, the living situation makes it just a tad on the imposable side on a lot of what people are asking for.


Also, under normal adequate working situations I would take people based on the order in which they contacted me, but due to my current circumstances I am basing the order of things on deadlines and when I can viably get things done.  I won't risk having to rush things and end up with something shoddy, under-detailed or have something look unfinished. I would rather not take a commission if things look like for whatever reason I wouldn't be able to do them the best I can. Things that are rushed frankly aren't worth whatever time is put in them nor the money.


I will be figuring out timing and price quotes and letting everyone know this month.

I will be picking up bits of alternative materials for some of you and trying out different mixes of some materials to make them stronger.  


So please send me those e-mails with your information and I will be getting back to you, likely sometime after Mother's Day.


Thank you and I do look forward to being able to work on all of your projects. I will do my best to meet all of your deadlines but I will let you know well in advance before I start if it looks like I will be unable to complete a project in time for what you need it for!

Um...thanks.
This was actually my first time getting back into costuming in about 8 years. I had an insanely tight deadline and I refuse to compromise quality or detail so it's a wonder this ever even got finished, but it's still not my best work. There are a few functional details I wanted to work into it for the changeability of it that I didn't get to add in. One of which was with the diadem, a little mechanical sort of feature for breaking down for ease of transport.
Happy to hear when people like it though :D
