<h1>Matrices' Portfolio</h1>

Best Sellers
</h2>
<p align="center">
<img border="0" src="images/Balaclavas.JPG" ><br>
<img src="images/Balaclavas1.jpg"></p>
<p class="auto-style2">These balaclava hoods are designed to be lightweight, low
profile, reinforced at each opening, and make wearing a costume cool and
comfortable while keeping the wearer's hair and sweat out of their eyes.
They can be worn two different ways, or even used to build a costume on
top of. They are made of lycra or spandex and available in many solid
colors or fun prints. I try to make as much variety as possible to make them
different and fun from the usual things that the browsing audience might
encounter. Machine washable. My best seller at furry
conventions.</p>
<p align="center">
<img border="0" src="images/Collars.JPG" ><br>
<img src="images/Collars1.jpg"></p>
<p class="auto-style2">Oversized working fursuit-sized collars, with two inch working buckles and
welded D-rings. Fully adjustable to fit a person or a large costume neck.
Available in solid colors, fun prints, glittery or unique specialty
fabrics, and prints chosen to match a convention's theming. I offer different
varietys of collar colors and prints for each event, and often sell out of what
I have made available by the end of events. The soft thick
collar material is washable and can be ironed. </p>
<p class="auto-style2"> </p>
<h2 class="auto-style2">Illustrated

<img src="images/CoyoteDecal.jpg">
<img src="images/wildbeast.png"></p>
<p class="auto-style2">Vinyl stickers made of 5-year rated outdoor vinyl, available in assorted
colors and many designs and species. New designs are released before events so this may not represent
all designs available, as more are released throughout the year! Each
sticker is home-made (designed, cut, and prepared) and not outsourced to a
company. </p>
<p class="auto-style1">
<img src="images/StickerDesigns.jpg" ></p>
<p class="auto-style2">Other kinds of waterproof stickers are also available, while size and shape may
vary, these depict my artwork, fun expressions from popular sticker packs I
made, or my website logo for those that enjoy supporting my
website! These stickers are ordered from a supplier, they are dishwasher
safe stickers suitable for anywhere!</p>
<p class="auto-style1">
<img src="images/Daki.jpg" ></p>
<p class="auto-style2">I had "safe for work" dakimakura pillowcases
manufactured featuring my own illustration/artwork. These are made in hong
kong.</p>
<p align="center">
<img border="0" src="images/Tonal1.jpg" >
<img border="0" src="images/Tonal2.jpg" ></p>
<p class="auto-style2">Tonal conbadges done custom on-site. Customer chooses their character,
expression, and paper color. Glitter effects, fun patterned-paper backing,
and clear plastic badge holder included. This style is also available in
full color. Badges are also offered themed to match the event theme.</p>
<p align="center">
<img src="images/Badges1.jpg">
<img border="0" src="images/Badges.jpg"></p>
<p class="auto-style2">Full color conbadges done custom on-site (when electricity is available
they are done same-day, when it is not, they are done next-day and
laminated in my hotel room).
Customer chooses their character, expression, name color(s), and the
badges are cut out around the character. Glitter effects and lamination
included. Badges are also offered themed to match the event theme.</p>
<p class="auto-style1">
<img src="images/ArtExamples.png" >
<img src="images/ToltRef-800px.png" > </p>
<p class="auto-style2">In addition to traditional art, I take digital art
commissions completed on-site for clients using an Android drawing tablet. (no
electricity or computer setup needed! It is the same tablet I process my credit
card payments on.) These are also offered once my traditional slots are taken
for the day, as it is easier to offer and deliver these as a take-home item. I
also do reference sheets, stickers and other artwork!</p>
<p class="auto-style1">
<img src="images/Sketchbookblfc17.jpg" ><br>
<img src="images/Illustration.png" ></p>
<p class="auto-style2">I also offer sketches, sketchbook illustrations, and
colored pieces illustrated on-site. These are done under client direction and
are custom.</p>
<p class="auto-style2"> </p>
<h2 class="auto-style2">Patterns and Supplies</h2>
<p class="auto-style2">To meet with my goals of helping other people
learn to create, and to suppliment the over 80 fursuit building tutorials
available free on my website, I also make available patterns and premium
tutorials for sale that are of my
design. These patterns are geared to people new to sewing, or want to get into
making. They are sold with instructions, a full-size copy of the
pattern, and are packaged in Matrices.net packaging. </p>
<p class="auto-style1">
<img src="images/PatternPackage.png">
<img src="images/PatternBooklet.png" >
<img src="images/FootpawPattern.jpg" ></p>
<p class="auto-style2">
All of my patterns come with an instructional booklet, they are also
available for purchase in my etsy shop, but at events I make them
available as a physical copy for those without printing or that prefer the
included booklet. It is the packaged pattern with printed and bound booklet.
I do all the printing and binding myself for these. </p>
<p class="auto-style1">
<img src="images/earfoam1.jpg" >
<img src="images/earfoam2.jpg" ></p>
<p class="auto-style2">
When available, I will also package some patterns with enough material big
enough to practice and/or create the patterned project or provide the pieces
pre-cut in a kit. An example of a Foam Ear kit for fursuit head building,
with thourough instructions
printed in a tutorial format for use.</p>
<p align="center">
</p>
<h2>Sewn Items</h2>
<p>Sewn items vary widely between events, I aim to have a few for each event
I attend sometimes themed to the event theme or current tastes. Often sewn items are finished high quality luxury costume items or
fun and silly props. Below are examples of the types of sewn items I often
have available, or that I make available for commission for interested
clients at events. </p>
