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 jawset for the Spirit of the North fox head project. I really like how the dappled top palette really helps to sell the illusion when viewed from the right angle. This has to be put aside now until I’m able to get some more head harnesses & forehead/chin rests shipped to me.

I need to get a bucket base inside this mask before foam sculpting details on the face. I’m planning to try to bully this MissRar’s bucket base into it…somehow…

This fox jaw gave me angst! Due to space/shaping constraints the jaws had to be set back a little further than I would’ve liked which posed issues for sculpting.

I am slogging away at the mane piece, which is basically a hand latched kanekalon wig. This is the left side that I finished off, with some pattern adjustments so it’ll blend into the mask fur better. Still have to make the other side and get them backed before installation. It’s massively poofy right now…

Piecing the fur sections of Miwak’s face and neck together.

Started sewing up Miwak’s hood. There were a few minor adjustments to the ear pattern but so far I’m please with how it’s looking.
