We’re on to the rind now. I’m thinking to replace 2 of the colours in the rind with something more orangey to really make the blood orange middle pop, but I’ll have to see.

I’ve finally gotten around to making up my turntable cover. Got to use the quilters pad and mini iron I got earlier this year for my birthday, they’re really neat!
-
This has taken literal days to pattern and patterning isn’t completely finished yet! It’s the most complex thing I’ve made to date.
-
This is the blood orange version of the slice cross stitch. This has already been a few days work and already looks so good!
-
Finished the core of Miwak’s tail. It has a pool noodle running through the middle, the elastic provides stability lengthwise and around the segment connections. Belt attachment is going to be a challenge as it’s designed to sit on the butt.
-
Several days work later and I have this absolute unit of a tail. Need to smooth out the sculpt before patterning & sewing each individual segment, before it’s connected into a single unit.
-
Started work on Miwak’s bone tail. It’s going to look fantastic but I immediately see issues with putting on the minky sleeve. It’s also highly unlikely I’ll get this, plus paws and head, done by spring, when my maker will have an opening for the body suit…

Whenever you create, adapt, or modify a pattern it’s always a good idea to make a paper mock-up first. I’m adapting the principals of the FurSmoothie pattern to have 5 toes and a moor bear-like foot shape.

Started another diamond painting to try to switch off my brain. It’s going to look beautiful but the colour transitions are many and annoying.

Painted and sealed. I am so amazingly proud of these gums and paint tones. This is the first time I’ve sculpted gums with this level of detail that also had to avoid hiding teeth unnecessarily or hitting the upper jaw. Now to install all the hardware.
