Have got all the base/tone colours down and started on the feather barring on the wings. Next up is doing all the barring on the butt/leg/chest feathers.
-
Finished some pre-made paws. The fur is super dooper soft and each paw has a right/left label
-
A few hours later and I have a forehead section ready for mask attachment. The pet mesh prevents the fur sagging into the crest rig. The rolled edge creates a more natural looking finish whilst helping to hide the gap between the crest and hood. Also sewed the eyebrows into place along the unrolled edges but I didn’t take a photo of that 😖
-
Did some work on these paws over the weekend. I have decided I definitely hate this blue fur as it’s so darn slippery!
-
Finished orange slice cross stitch. Took about 100 hours to complete and is destined for my kitchen wall.
-
Finished off all the machine sewing on the hood; zipper install and edge finish. I am never prepared for how many pins a simple task inevitably needs!
-
Trying out insetting patterns and setting claws a different way. I’m also considering re-working this pattern as the thumb position looks a bit strange.
-
Only really the rind left now. Looking juicy!
-
Stitching up another orange. This is destined for my kitchen and will have a blood orange coloured counterpart eventually too.
-
This paint job looks much better than previous, more alive. These are the completed antlers for the jackalope project.
