A lot of modifications later and I’m pretty happy with the form now. The eyes are just placeholders until I settle on a colourway design – until then, this is being set aside.

Personal paint of a #WindstoneEditions pyo to resemble my companion parrot. Painted using atelier acrylics & folkart metallics, with antiquing & wash shadowing in 7 different colours, drybrushed highlights/blending, and sealed with an archival satin varnish.

Commission work. Although this is a simple 3 colour paw design, it actually requires 60 separate pieces.

Meet “Isabella”. She’s made using the furaddiction lyric bear pattern. She has black glass eyes, suede paws, and her paws/nose are hand shaded using derwent inktense pencils. She wears a heart and key charm, tied with complementary coloured ribbon around her neck. This OOAK bear is available in my store. https://ko-fi.com/s/373a8af677 ‘Isabella’ OOAK 14” teddy…

I used a modified cosplay ‘space’ style helmet instead and glued that into the head form. I then added foam clay to fill in seams and make a solid beak (it’ll be covered in worbla later) and a nose hump. Might still do some minor adjustments then sand it all smooth.
-
After some frustration locating worbla (had to buy from 2 different places), I now have all the pieces traced and the foam cut. As worbla allows form shaping I combined some pieces, and the foam is cut slightly smaller to allow for the worbla sandwich seams so the whole thing stays the required size.

Finished personal handpaws for my partner. They feature non-functioning dewclaws, claw sheaths, and finger escapes.

I’m working on a personal windstone gryphon kitty to resemble my parrot. I’m trying to blend traditional antiquing with my preferred wash layering painting style. You can see the difference when I go back with water layering after doing a rough antique to pull out the texture.
-
The paws are pretty much ready for final assembly. Still a lot of hand sewing to do though.

Finished blackwork sampler! I love how every letter/number has a different patterned background.
