    8. Hi I am thinking about attending and I was wondering if I could do a panel or workshop?
      I have been sewing for many years now (over 10) and I have been sewing for dolls since 2007, I am currently a Fashion Design Major at American River College and I have taken classes in sewing and patternmaking. I would love to help everyone learn how to make clothes or get better at making clothes.

      I also did custom commisions for doll clothes here and my Gallery also my DeviantArt
      Would this be possible?
      Thank you!
       
    9. What great ears...a little mousey boy...with an adorable tiny smile.....not sure about the yellow eyes....but, overall...just too cute...
      Perhaps when you let ONE in your house you are in big trouble.....
       
    10. elfgirlkaname I pm'ed you back : )
       
    11. May I ask what you are talking about? did I miss some link to a picture?
       
    12. I was wondering the same thing!
       
    13. I'm thinking its a conversation that got moved to the wrong thread .....
       
    14. any update on the friday room situation?

      Robin and I still need to be inthe host hotel.
       
    15. PamSD At this point the hotel is booked up however someone did tell me that they were able to get a room when they called in so it might be a hit and miss thing of other people canceling and leaving a room open. I'm sorry I cant be of more help in that regard but I could only take the block of rooms they had availble and who knew so many Doa'ers would be so quick on the draw but there might still be some cancelations.
       
    16. Ill be available to help vendors move and set up as well. If you are unsure about geting your items from one pleace to another we will have people available to help you.

    39. NEW FROM Akasarushi VENDOR:

      Just do you guys know. We'll also be accepting faceup commissions there as well. So if you need to get doll faceup done,and want to save yourself first round shipping money. Do consider bringing whatever head that needs to be done. Unfortunately we can't get it done THen and there. So it will be taken home with me, and i'll ship to you after it's done.
      Here's my faceup commission thread.
      http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?240105-โ™ซ-โ–-Akasarushi-โ–-โ™ซ-Face-Up-House-OPEN

      As for what can be done AT the con will be Special commission fur wigs, meaning you can miz and match colors as much as you like. ^_^ then come back and pick it up later.
       
    40. Is anyone at the con going to be doing restringing? I have an elfdoll Red who is seriously in need of restringing and I'm too lazy to do it myself.
       
    41. Cirquemom

      You know I have been trying to get someone to do a stringings for people but to no avail. I would do it myself for you for free if I wasnt going to be running around so much as I anticipate. Maybe someone will come forth?


      New NEWSApril-19th- I updated the FAQs to reflect some more questions we are getting in about the 'day of' and picking up registration. Please see them if you are confused to what do do /how to attend the event. It is under the title DAY OF/ Registration faqs.

Its for all you artistic types who like to paints, sculpt,draw use computer graphics and so forth check out the http://www.ccbjd.org/contest.html the Contest Page on on site for rules and signing up.

      We also just got in our goodies from http://pacificmediaexpo.info/2009/
      Pacific Media Expo (PMX) I am sure you guys are just as excited as we are for to know what they are ! Make sure you attend to see if you win anime or mangas!
       
    42. Horray! I bought my admission the other day!!!! Now I just have to decide which dolls get to come and who has to stay behind. I'm so excited to see all you guys there!!!! Weeeeeee!!!!

      I looked at the vendor list, but my computer is having trouble pulling up pages today. Will there be many people selling wigs at the con? The answer will determine if my girl is coming with me.
       
    43. Hurray! I didnt make the connection until I saw your sig with Sudianna in it!

      I cant wait to meet you :)
       
    44. i will be selling fur wigs and some of my MSD synthetic that i have and ever use. ^_^

      and...Clothes, A lot of other random stuff that i need to let go of. LOL. like tiny furnitures and such.
       
    45. Awesome! I'm looking for a curly light pink SD wig for my girl and I'm hoping to find one at the con. Vendors pack some please! So very excited!
       
    46. lol.. I am also looking for pastel pink and pastel blue wigs for my sd girls so I second what Cymorill says :)


      News

      Just got in the donation from Feather Fall and Kira Kira!

      Kira Kira sent us two beautiful resin dolls one a full set boy resin rabbit and one a girl rabbit and as I menitioned in an earlier post Feather Fall is sponsoring the Art contest so they sent us a few different goodies for 1st and 2nd prize!
       
    47. We have updated the program so you now know what time fun things start!Check out the program page on the website for details.
      Reminders: Please do not bring things to sell outside the vendor room.It is against hotel policy to sell things out of your room and that would also be undermining why the vendors are there in the first place!

      If you have a few used items to sell you may contact me .

      That being said there are no longer any spaces left in our main vendoring hall .
       
    48. thought yall might like to see one of the things I am bringing FS.

      18 medieval gowns of SD and MSD sizes in elven colors.
      [​IMG]

      and.....aviator caps...NO goggles
      SD and MSD sizes
      [​IMG]
       
    49. *gasp!* :o

      Oooooo!!! :nosebleed
       
    50. OMG~ I'm excited and freaking out at the same time! 2 more weeks!!!!!

      and this weekend i have to attend a Cospaly gathering too. So I've been working on my cosplay stuff. then there's work. Gotta start cramping in all the Doll stuff soon!!!
       
    51. I will defintely need an aviator cap for my Isao :) I wonder if anyone will be selling goggles?

      It sounds like you have been working hard aibakaneko! Dont wear yourself out!
       
    52. Will we get badges, perchance? At another BJD con I went to you got a little badge to write your name on that clipped onto you shirt. And if so.... will there be dollie-sized badges? Rylin keeps all his ticket stubs, badges and buttons for his scrapbook, and he even has a tiny annual pass for Disneyland. CCBJD doll badges would be way cool!

      So excited!!!! Eeeeee!!!!
       
    53. That aviator cap is awesome!

      As for dollie-sized badges... Some Say Wise has made doll-sized con badges in the past, so if she has any left over, I'll tell her to bring them. If she doesn't have any left over... I might try my hand at making some, but I don't know how many I'd have to whip up...

      =^__^=
      Anneko
       
    54. Cymorill - That is an excellent idea for bjd sized badges . There will be people sized badges but I am afraid bjd size are not in the budget right now.


      Anneko If you sister could make some to share that would be great. Some people dont like to pin their doll clothes but others dont mind.
       
    55. I'd make some myself but I don't know what the badges are supposed to look like.
       
    56. I figure just a general con badge look would work, right?

      (I might try to work out a 'lanyard' style badge instead of using safety pins on all of them, to avoid the pins-in-clothes issue...)

      =^__^=
      Anneko
       
    57. that is indeed an adorable idea. you can use clear tape to laminate it

      UPDATE on my part: finally starting to gather my stuff together~
      [​IMG]

      LOTS Of MSD fur wigs coming your way~ decent amount of Puki, TINY, and SD. lol
       
    58. Ooo! So many wonderful colors!
       
    59. LOL~ That's not even half the colors.

      I will be bringing all my colors. Over 15 color selections~
      Here's the one i got more than half way done already. But still need to add elastics to them all~
      YEP! all hand sewn! Lots to do~
      [​IMG]
      And there's about 4 or 5 more that i need to cut and make. lol. green shades of green, purple, blonde, and i think short borwn and more~
       
    60. *excitement*

      Ooh, wig pretties!

      =^__^=
