  • Miwak is coming along fantastically! I’m not going to glue anything down until I’ve finished the kanekalon mane as I’m not sure whether I will have to adjust anything.

  • 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.
