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.)

This remind me of an idea I had a couple years ago when I was trying out soap-making. I found a few animal-shapes molds and though it'd be good to sell animal soaps at furry cons. I'd do anything to encourage fans to bathe during the con weekend! ;) But my short attention span found other hobbies by which to be distracted.

I look forward to hearing how this endeavor develops. :)
