Finally got eye blanks, so making progress. Need to fix the bottom jaw, didn't realize how far out it stuck until looking at that picture 😂

[luminaefurs]

Back on the grind! Trying a wolf this time, and plan on actually selling this one if it goes well

[luminaefurs]

And finally finished! Definitely a lot I can improve on, but considering I had like, zero experience with any of the skills associated with making something like this and had to learn everything from scratch as I went, pretty happy with how it turned out. Might make paws and a tail for it later, but for now going to start a new project

And ears sewn! Time to glue and shave!

[luminaefurs]

Just have to sew the ears and then I can start gluing and shaving!

[luminaefurs]

Finally cut up the fur, just need to preshave a bit and then I can start sewing!

First time working with fur, it is sooo much softer than I expected, I love it.

[luminaefurs]

Tested the pattern using an old bedsheet, and after a few adjustments I think it's good to go! Time to start working with fur!

[luminaefurs]

Been a while, but back on making this! I've changed up the design since the initial sketch to try and make it a little more interesting.

Going to test the pattern on old bedsheets first because I do not trust myself enough to go straight to the faux fur 😂

[luminaefurs]

Haven't decided if I'm going to keep the design I had initially drawn up, but I am finally ready to fur the head! I do not trust that I made the base symmetrical so I taped the whole thing instead of just half 😅😂

[luminaefurs]

Finished the poseable tongue and have the eyes coloured and glued to the eye blanks! Just need to glue them in and do the antlers, then it'll finally be onto the fur!

[luminaefurs]

Please ignore the disaster area that is the table, we're sorting and putting away our Christmas ornaments 😂

Finished relining the mouth and glued in the teeth! Technically had the tongue finished (again) but decided I want to make it possible, so need to go get wire.

[luminaefurs]

Teeth test! Going to redo the bottom ones before gluing everything in. Also redoing the mouth lining because I accidentally used neoprene when I meant to use the minky

[luminaefurs]

Not fursuit related, but wanted to share the plushie I made my sister for Christmas! Turns out mochi minky is super hard to sew without it slipping, so after many weeks of failing, I ended up gluing the edges together before sewing it 😂

Pattern from teacuplion.com

And the lining is in! I was working on the eyes as well, but unfortunately the buckram I had bought didn't work great, so I'll have to get some more and try again.

[luminaefurs]

Finished sewing the lining, just need to glue it in now! Actually ended up having to redo the duct tape patterning because I forgot to mark what pieces were which and what they attached to, so I had no idea how to reassemble the first attempt 🤣

[luminaefurs]

Wow, November hit me hard, but finally back to work and have all the materials I need to finish! I swear this duct tape wanted to stick to nothing expect itself and my painted nails 😂

[luminaefurs]

Waiting on supplies for lining and eyes, but the foam base is done!
