Here’s all my parts for the fursuit collab I’m doing with @urboros! These parts are for the green fantasy bird skull mask they are making and feature a wired feather fan in the tail, hidden tail belt loop, and conductive thread fingertips (so you can use your phone in suit!). We’re aiming for the full…

Feather fan of the collab tail is completed and ready to be sewn into the main tail section. I chose to appliqué the feather lines to make them stand out more and give a bit more strength for the internal wire that’ll keep the fan nice & stiff.

Progress on the collab tail. This is designed to sit a little bit proud instead of letting gravity pull it straight down. I’m wondering whether to do a simple appliqué back or just a plain back…?

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

Throwback! Miwaks’ bonetail weighs in at 2kg but thanks to the lumbar belt feels relatively light and has a lovely bounce.

Finishing off the parasaur tail. I wasn’t too sure about the plum colour, but with everything sewn up I think it works really well with all the other tail colours.
