Taking a slight break from the paws to work on the tail part of this commission. This 180ish cm dragger has 30 total pieces, 20 of them being the spots that will be hand sewn.

My colleague had repurposed an old real fox fur coat into a patchwork blanket. They’d sewn all the fox hides together by hand but needed some machine help to put a backing on. So I helped her to cut some fleece to size and ran it through my sewing machine.
It looks so good and it’s super warm! I’m really happy I finally got a chance to work with some real animal fur leather. And my colleague is pleased she finally has a functional fur blanket.
NOTE: I do not condone usage of real animal fur for ethical reasons. I have no problem with working with repurposed natural fur items or alternatively ethically farmed/sourced fur hides. Sadly, most real furs do not have ethical backgrounds.

Powering away on the paw part of this commission. These are turning out to be the most complicated paws I’ve ever made with appliqué details, cuticles, spots, & escapes!

Last week I visited my partners workplace for lunch, and we laser cut this wristlet bead board in the maker space beforehand. I’m super loving how much it’s helping me choose colourways for my beading.
Also, it’s the most expensive beadboard ever as we accidentally used delrin (thought it was regular acrylic).

All the spots have been sewn in & the finger tops attached. Next step is to ready all the minky parts for install.

It’s been almost 2 decades since I’ve done paper tole, but I’m really pleased with how this is coming along. You can really see the difference between a flat print and the shaped piece layering.
