  • And the collab gloves are done! I’d forgotten how finneky these stretch gloves are to construct but the effort is definately worth it. And yes, these do have conductive thread in 3 of the fingers so you can use your phone.

  • Completely forgot to take photos of the assembly process. You’ll just have to believe me that it had to all be handsewing & was obnoxious. The last step is to give these paws a haircut – I love seeing the difference a trim makes!

  • My partners workplace has a maker space, so I got him to help me laser cut ear & eye pieces for the moffman mask. I cut so many eye pieces because I’m still undecided which combo to go for, but I definitely now know I’m using the orange EL wire.

  • Moffman is painted! I did a very dark base coat, then dry brushed 3 slightly different metallic colour blends (charcoal, dark teal, deep violet) selectively over the entire mask. Finished off with bright copper eye ports which should make the glow eyes I have planned sing. I’m also planning to install some ball joints under…

  • Got all the pads sewn in, lined, & stuffed. I’ve stuffed all the claws but I really want to just attached the ones on the middle fingers to be super reminiscent of bee claws…but I know doing that means it won’t sell well 😔

  • Got a lot done on the bee themed paws. Machined lining/claws/pads, installed & stuffed palm pads, completed side seams, & even did all the finnicky finger web seams (my least favourite bit).

  • First pass of hand sewing on these paws is now completed. Next I need to do the machine sewing of the pads before they can be installed.

  • I spent several days prepping these 2 masks by MissMonster. The moffman I plan to paint with shimmer blacks/blues, install glowing amber eyes, and make a hood with embedded rooster feathers. The half snarl I will be painting for my partner (once he decides on a theme).

  • Finished paw and (surprise) tail set, made as a christmas gift for a friend.

  • A fews hours work on the parasaur paws. I must say that being able to do large parts of these on the sewing machine due to the minky really sped up the construction.
