Miwak’s headbase is largely completed. No eyelids yet as still need to hook up the leds. I am also loving how well this fits me; it doesn’t slip at all & the jaw movement is partially kinetic with the slack taken up by the springs

One glove done for K’rahmyteh. The silver swirls are conductive thread. Now to complete the other one and add the claws.
-
This has taken literal days to pattern and patterning isn’t completely finished yet! It’s the most complex thing I’ve made to date.
-
Finished the core of Miwak’s tail. It has a pool noodle running through the middle, the elastic provides stability lengthwise and around the segment connections. Belt attachment is going to be a challenge as it’s designed to sit on the butt.
-
Several days work later and I have this absolute unit of a tail. Need to smooth out the sculpt before patterning & sewing each individual segment, before it’s connected into a single unit.

Found this rainbow fabric so had to make some personal candy floss paws in celebration of getting covid vaccinated.

I will be dropping this lot, plus 3 slots for custom paws, into my Etsy shop on Friday 6 August 12pm AEST. There will also be an opportunity to commission a set of custom hand paws (3 slots only this time).

Started work on Miwak’s bone tail. It’s going to look fantastic but I immediately see issues with putting on the minky sleeve. It’s also highly unlikely I’ll get this, plus paws and head, done by spring, when my maker will have an opening for the body suit…
-
Another set of pre-made paws for practice. These are a slight pattern modification for the option of larger finger pads.

Whenever you create, adapt, or modify a pattern it’s always a good idea to make a paper mock-up first. I’m adapting the principals of the FurSmoothie pattern to have 5 toes and a moor bear-like foot shape.
