/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Lurking through this thread has also inspired me to actually make an itabag!
The only thing is that there's little to no merchandise for Pearl, so everything I have so far are from fan artists I've bought from at conventions. I also have a 50 pin order of multiple screencaps I took of her while watching the show, a 25 pin order of my favorite screencap of her in the sweater during New Years to be placed as a 5x5 grid, and might be placing another order for my friends' arts!
There's also this 12 inch Amigurumi Pearl on Etsy that I have my eye on, but she looks a little creepy and slightly off-putting, but I really.. really want it...

I don't know how I feel about putting the Pearl trim up top since I might be putting pins right underneath and the charms might just all blend together, but I really like how it looks there and I really like it being functional too. I'm not sure what to do, so advice would be greatly appreciated!

Man, I'm kind of afraid to ask if I can use their already-existing artwork. Like I want it as a pin, but I don't want them to be annoyed with me asking to use it-- even if they're not selling pins or the artwork already.
