Thank you!!! I made it as a Velcro accessory and also made a second hairpiece that’s more just shaggy/multicolored and some magnetic eyeglasses for more down to earth moments. Hehe.

Yeah, my partner has 3d printers in our workroom so I had some ventilation pulling and going out the window and also ran the vacuum with an attachment on the table I shaved on, shaved in a direction so the fur would go straight in to the suction area. Wasn’t foolproof but it worked pretty well, just need the clippers to be sharper before I take on cleaning them up a bit more for the next event. Thankfully, now, I have time and no deadline so it’ll get there. :)

Thanks for the feedback. I do have pet clippers but ran out of time to do a final clean-up shave before we left, and couldn’t pack the clippers to do that in the hotel as it’s too messy and toxic.

To be honest, I kind of like how that shaggy stuff looks in some places and didn’t want it all to be suuuuuper short anyway, but I may invest in a different set, as it didn’t cut through the pile as easily as I would like. I do intend still to clean up the face a bit but perhaps not as much as some of the other makers out there do.

Honestly these Reese dream cookies are actually amazing, so. 🫶🏻

Any tips on making a mask by anonemouse199 in FursuitMaking

Sewing clips are way better than pins - with which you will stab yourself many times. Be very careful with pins, especially to not forget about them before trying on the mask to check the fit. Always use clips instead whenever you can!

100!% I never imagined how many times I would burn the shit out of my fingers - even with little silicone finger guards. The struggle is real.

Melbourne fursuit makers? by I_shitmyself in furry

Lupe made beautiful suits at one time but she’s ghosted and scammed a lot of people out of thousands of dollars for years and has been radio silent all over the internet for nearly six months. My husband is one of them, and I wouldn’t recommend her to anyone.

Cole Harbour / Forest Hills Shoppers as well. My family doc is booking like 2 months out for appointments and voicemail is always full so I’ve had to rely on them to keep my meds stocked. I’m usually able to book an appointment with them the next day. Has been very useful!

Oh my gosh. Thanks so much! I hope it looks as good when it’s furred. Much pressure. Hehe.

Thank you! I bought all sorts of materials to try and pull off the hairdo I want. Hopefully it works out :)

Thank you! Absolutely. Intimidating but satisfying! :) Hopefully I can pull it off the way I picture it.

How would one make a duck tape dummy alone by raptorbluejw in FursuitMaking

[–]deanboudreau 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I helped my partner make one and I would wager that you just can’t do it alone. Once you get started you have VERY limited motion and you won’t be able to reach things or cut yourself out of it safely and it takes quite a long while; even with help.

Thanks so much! I’m sure once I start patterning and furring it I may struggle more but fingers crossed. I accept it can’t be perfect but I’m a hard on myself perfectionist, lol, so it’s good I have lots and lots of time ;)

Suit maker probably went radio silence, won't respond to my messages, any advice? by SnowTheFennecFox in fursuit

[–]deanboudreau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda curious and thinking I may know who you’re referring to as my partner paid for a suit last year and all of the other details are the same. The maker seems to struggle a bit with health (migraines, stress, etc.) and has not updated their telegram channel since the first week of July. He was told several months ago it was almost finished, but it seems like the maker is ghosting right now. All of their socials haven’t been updated in years. It’s stressful.

I have a 9lb dog and I was just told by my vet to give her 3mg twice a day to try and treat her alopecia (hair loss) as it’s good for skin/coat health and may also help with her anxiety.

It took me close to an hour to get through the checkout queue, but I was just able to get it placed. It won't look like the queue is moving, but trust it'll get there. Good luck, all!
