I didn’t like the pattern I use for slim feetpaws and wanted to update it but it was way down my to do list. Thankfully a lovely commissioner gave me reign to do it as precursor to their commission. The silliest part of this process is taping your own foot then having a random foot hanging around the house.
Down to the final segments. These are reinforced with interfacing on the top, sides, and collars which are the weight-bearing surfaces and will have webbing sewn down them to support belt attachment.
Thinking of going back to put interfacing on the tops of segments 4 and 5 as well so that I can extend that webbing further down the sleeve to help with supporting weight.
Finished the puppy diamond paint. This image has definitely been darkened too much compared to what it’s supposed to look like. I had to do some adjustments on the right eye because the canvas wanted it to be a giant black void extending down the cheek (it was a little terrifying).
Homeward stretch of the bonetail. The last 2 sections have to be completed separately as I need to reinforce them in the machine before connecting to the main sleeve. Here you can see the side seam to close, and pins marking a shaping dart to be sew into each spine.
Omg there IS colour variance! I was beginning to worry I was relegated to black…
These were some commission paws I finished off a while back. The brown set featured rare & discontinued grizzly fur, custom mustelid pads, and cuticles. The white set (modelled by my hugsband) featured hidden finger escapes.
I am doing a diamond painting as a present for my mum, and I honestly have never had to deal with such a large section of largely unbroken colour before. Keeping all the gems straight has been extremely tedious.
Progress on Miwak’s bone tail. I have the first 3 segments mostly sewn up before running out of thread, so waiting on more supply now. And a test fit for segment 3 where you can see the open seam that will allow me to wrap the whole tail in the sleeve before puppet stitching it closed.
Finished K’rahmyteh’s claws. These are super comfy and the dexterity is great despite the claws.
Patterning up Miwak’s head. I took the forehead rest out to get a closer match to my tiny head dimensions on the Edhead. I also patterned up their footpaw off camera. All ready for fur purchasing now. 😊
