Finished all the main colour & it’s ready for the long-stitch details!

I rediscovered my beading equipment recently and have been making a bunch of knitting/crochet stitch marker sets. I’m planning to possibly even make some bookmark hooks. The ones off to the side I’m keeping, but all the others will eventually be photographed and put up in my Etsy.

Miwak’s bodysuit has arrived! Great job by EasternDragonStudios, the tail port is perfect! Just have to do some tweaks on the tacked in tail zip to ensure a good fit with the tail, but that’s a school holiday job. Can’t wait to finish Miwak up & take them out on the town!

For some reason all the seams didn’t want to stick cleanly so there’s heap of filling I’ll need to do using foam clay. It’s also gonna need extensive modification so the kemono mask can be attached…

I bought this white scandinavian mountain sheep wool to practice on my gossamer spindle. It’s quite scratchy because of the short guard hairs but also fluffy. I didn’t know how I wanted to ply this as I don’t have a project in mind for it, until I opened my next spin fibre; some black welsh…
