  • Loon WE gryphon. This piece has been handpainted with atelier paints, pearlEx pigments, & finished with a UV resistant satin finish. NFS this piece already has a home.

  • I’m slowly replacing all the pants I’ve had since I was 12yo with ones that actually fit me. This pair is made from a very soft suiting wool & feels divine!

  • Some eye experiments. First lot are done with derwent inktense and second batch is copics. Both lots using the same technique, just changed up the paper and materials. Different effects due to glue interaction with the paper/colour, but they all look nice.

  • There is truely no such thing as a ‘simple’ tail pattern. I patterned up a basic 3 colour design using the maquette method (where you pattern small then enlarge to correct scale) & still ended up with 16 pieces. This means the whole tail will have 32 pieces total, not including pieces for the gore…

  • Thread sculpted feet and paws for the truffle bear. This took literal hours and thread pulling hurt my hands, but the end result is so satisfying. These still need colour shading before being attached to the body (& I’m terrified of doing it! What if I stuff them up?!).

  • My projects board. Pinning up all the fur swatches with their references for each project is really helpful to visualise how a project will come together colour wise.

  • Fur swatches organised on audio felt boards is the workflow & space saver tool I never knew I needed but now can’t live without! I am now a powerful designing, crafting machine!

  • Here’s the final design for the parasaur premade & this sheet will go with the partial. The final owner will be able to name them and I’ll add that to the sheet.

  • Stuffed all the parts, ready for detailing. Also made the weight bag for the body, ready to be inserted when the limbs/head are installed.

  • Parasaur tail core for the premade. The white is calico reinforcing & the end has a lovely wiggle to it.
