  • Some more progress on the commission paws. All the fur pieces have been assembled and the pads/claws are now prepped for installation.

  • Working on Miwak’s skull hat. I have never used cardboard before to mock up a pattern and I really don’t know what I’m doing.

  • Finished commission for egg_exotic on twitter. These have a lot of special features; finger escapes, semi hidden stripe details on paw backs, mitten string with paw liner attachment loop, & hidden deluxe tail belt loop. (my tail caps come with gore caps as standard cause they’re fun)

  • 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…

  • Miwak’s finished face, although right now I think it looks more like a luchador mask. All handsewn and preshaved, although I might have to do some more preshaving around the eyes before it heads over to the mask.

  • 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.

  • Whenever you create, modify, or adapt a pattern it’s always a good idea to create a mock-up first. I’m adapting the principals of the FurSmoothie pattern to create a more bear-like foot paw with 5 toes.

  • 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

  • Started work on the wings portion of the fursuit project. K’rahmyteh has smallish, stubby wings akin to a kakapo. These feathers were designed via a combination of sketching out a full sized wing using a photoshoped me with kakapo wings, sketching out the individual feathers, then modifying #SunnybrookOne’s raven wing feather pattern to match my…

  • I’m going to sew up the legs of the suit first. I spent literally the whole morning tracing out the pieces, cutting, and clipping.
