Making Scents

[beetiger]

In my neverending quest to push the envelope of furrydom and do what I feel like doing, I was thinking of doing some scent art for Anthrocon. One would expect anthropomorphics to enjoy perfumery and value it as a real artform, right?

I was hoping to custom hand blend massage oils for people according to their species and preferences, and sell these at the Artists' Alley. Unfortunately, I've just heard back from the coordinator, and this isn't a kind of "art" that's acceptable to the Alley. I'm not allowed to compete with the people who draw catgirls for a spot there. This makes me sad.

But I still kind of want to do it. Is this a stupid idea, or a brilliant one? Should I put this out on FurBid? Take preorders via LJ and bring them to the con? Would anyone want something like this?

(ps I have nothing against catgirls.)

They'd probably want you to take that to the dealer's room. See if a dealer will handle it for you on consignment? :)

Well, it would be custom, so it really belongs in the Alley, just like other commissions.

I think I'm going to give myself a little extra time to prep, and try to get a dealer table at MFF or FC for all of my various crazy projects.
