Parasaur paws have been cut out. I’m trying something new with minky fingers to achieve the the hadrosaur mitten foot look.
-
Hemmed all the raw edges before glueing the fur down. Glueing was tricky because the back under the sail had to remain open for the hood to fit over, then that had to be henson stitched closed. Still needs a nose/eye trim.
-
Significant progress on the parasaur head. This is the most confusing pattern I’ve ever done, mainly due to the complex colour transitions.
-
All the fur pieces for the parasaur head. I’ve grouped everything into the four main sections which will be assembled first, then those larger sections will be fitted together.

Parasaur mask is now ready for it’s fur. The inside has been tidied using EVA foam for cleanliness, mouth soft palette installed, two interchangeable tongues with velcro attachment, rare earth magnets in nose/chin for the blep tongue, & removeable/adjustable foam padding.

Progress on the parasaur premade! Eyelids & beak were painted and antiqued using atelier acrylics, then sealed with atelier gloss varnish. I’m also deciding on an eye colour and design; so far I’m leaning towards an oval or rectangular pupil with either dark/rich browns or a purple iris. Gonna do up a few more sets…

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.
-
Tail sheath is now all sewn up and installed. Where the claw is jammed in is the little belt tunnel that travels through the foam core. Next step is doing the gore cap and belt tunnel fabric tube.

Last commission for the year for a returning client. 56 pieces for a tail and indoor feetpaw set to match a set of handpaws I made last year. Also, the purple fur arrived with a nigh unremoveable scent permeated into the fibres, which played hell with my sensory sensitivities & asthma. So there’s not going…

Lots of minky work for the comm tail. I decided to put foam inserts in the spikes instead of polyfil so they hold the shape better. Also did up the decorative gore cap with signature hidden belt loop.
