Finished K’rahmyteh’s claws. These are super comfy and the dexterity is great despite the claws.
-
Finished off all the machine sewing on the hood; zipper install and edge finish. I am never prepared for how many pins a simple task inevitably needs!
-
Partners jackalope mask cut & hinged. Now Māui is helping me to file out the nose/eyes.
-
Finished the bodysuit mockup. It’s mostly perfect as is, only edits that can be done when cutting the fur is adding extra seam allowance around the hip area & using a slightly longer zipper. I’ll add in sleeves once I get more calico. Meanwhile, I need a break from this project.

Made up the butt and thigh pads for the fursuit. I want the illusion of super fluffy legs and the knee being more hidden in body fluff, like actual birds, and I think pads accomplish this well alongside the tail nub and the 4” fur I’ll be using. Next up is to re-pattern!
-
Sculpting all the vanes on the tail feathers. This really hurts the fingers!
-
Made up the pattern and cut the foam feathers for the tail, shapes based on a raven’s tail. I also carved the pygostyle nub which the feathers will be inset into and the nub will be covered in fur. Next up is sculpting the feathers!

In re-doing the eyeballs I also decided to remake the eyelids. Exactly the same process as before, except the eyelids are now minky fabric that I sewed onto the frames.
