I decided to make something silly. I’m in for a stack of hand sewing on this project!
-
Completed another diamond paint. It’s supposed to have two little figures looking at the sky, but they get pixelated out at a smaller size. Frankly, I think it looks better just as a swirl of colours.

Completed kingfisher cross stitch.
This pattern was bought several years ago but not started until 2020, right when covid was declared a pandemic. I affectionately call this my pandemic kingfisher, it goes with my pandemic by-marriage surname. The design is huge at 55H x 45W, and took around 350 hours (if not more).

The hinges remained too bendy despite reforming. A big thanks to @TwinBlueChimera who suggested to expose them to sunlight to harden them further as they are a photopolymer resin.
Three 2 hour exposures to indirect sunlight and they are now noticeably stiffer and able to support the base mask, as well as mask+antlers, when resting on a surface without warping. The slight yellow tinge indicates they were exposed to sunlight.

Jackalope update! Major hardware is now all installed. Chin has been extended to compensate for glasses pushing the mask out from the face. Gums, lips, and antler bases are apoxie sculpted. Eyes drilled out. Antlers are removable for storage.
Jawset by DrakonicKnight. Base by StuffedPanda. Antlers by DVC. Flexible hinges, forehead rest, head harness by TwinBlueChimera.

Look at that cute little footsie!

ARGH! Hinges have warped!! I think it’s from downward weight on the head top as I was fiddling around with the antlers last night before setting the head down before bed. Dissassembled as soon as I saw them this morning. Have to try to reform them today.

Started work on the wings portion of the fursuit project. K’rahmyteh has smallish, stubby wings akin to a kakapo. These feathers were designed via a combination of sketching out a full sized wing using a photoshoped me with kakapo wings, sketching out the individual feathers, then modifying #SunnybrookOne’s raven wing feather pattern to match my sketches.
I have no idea when there will next be an update on this as those feathers will take FOREVER to sculpt!
-
Over halfway done now! It’s beginning to look like a burb now!

SOUND ON. I convinced my partner to help do antler install on his mask. We couldn’t decide whether the squeaking sounded like our birds chuckle laugh or a distressed dolphin 🤣
