Tailoring update.

I think I am almost ready to put some of my goods on the market. Thus far, I have armors from cougar leather, cougar studded leather, jaguar, jaguar studded leather, and leopard leather. I also have made two cougar bags, and have various items I have gathered in the course of my adventures.
In payment for 12 panther cloaks (of which I have made six), two lion leather slings (made), and one lion whip, plus the things which I have already made, Katrien gave me two boxes of silk, plus one of thread AND enough hides to complete the task. Although the latter I have not seen yet, the slings and four of the cloaks were made from animals I hunted myself. Given how much I have seen silk selling for, her payment must be around 10,000 trues worth of material.
Also, I talked with Katrien about selling my own work, and she said I should feel free to do so, the competition won't hurt her. In hindsight, I should have asked if I could just display my products on her shelves. She also said that the foundation would buy anything I made, at a cost less than market value, but greater than the pawnshop's offer. Perhaps this is what I should do. . . merchanting has no place in my training, but every true I gain is one closer to my goal, as well as helping to cover the cost of my own materials.
