An extremely special introduction...
World, meet Evelyn June. Born via emergency c-section on Friday 1st September, 2.57pm, weighing 6oz 10lbs
She's perfect.
Lots of hard work & long hours to produce this THICC STOMPY BOI for
@BrickRaccoon
and it was so worth it!
Bodysuit made with pocket style padding for comfortable mobility!
Next up is a hecking unique tail & finally this kitty will be getting a head! 😻
BAP BAP POW! Check out these tiger paws!
...this may also be a good time to mention... that I'll be open for commissions from NOVEMBER 1st for the first time this year!
Worked flat out this year getting wait times down for you guys!
Official announcement to come soon 👀
*hides*
Fursuit pricing discourse coming up again. I think we can all agree, for the most part, that makers have every right to increase prices to reflect the increasingly high basic standards that most suits of today feature & the extreme rise of materials & shipping costs!
There's a secret within these paws...
...DEXTERITY 😂
I can now offer finger escapes on all my hand paws designs if you desire! It'll cost a bit extra though, it takes time to get the holes clean, lined & near invisible!
Fursuit prices ARE NOT inflated! Makers have been under valuing their time & skill for years for fear of being deemed as 'money hungry' or being guilted of seeming too expensive of a bespoke craft that takes YEARS to hone.
Lessons in Perseverance.
A lot can happen in 4 years. First two pics was the beginning of my journey with my first attempt at handpaws. Now look where I am with my latest pair from my own pattern 😊
Some self reflection this

Introducing 'Roadkill' the Russian Blue Cat!
This latest commission has been a blast, first off KITTY ^^,.colours are fresh & I was asked to make an interactive tail end which can be removed via magnets! A first for me!

Personal Post Time!
The reason I've not been able to take on full suit requests & won't be taking many slots this year is because my partner and I are expecting a new addition to our family, due mid August!
We're excited & nervous to be first time parents.
Wish us luck!😅🥰
I keep seeing discourses about fursuit standards:
"They didn't line the handpaws" Makers are not required to line handpaws, ask/check if your maker does so!
"I can see the seams on the suit!"
You'll see visible seams (esp on short pile furs) like, your clothes have them!

UN-BULL-IEVABLE!
Tiko the bull features:
Magnetic eyelids & gold nose ring
Screw attached horns
Lined armsleeves (not featured)
Cool mohawk!
PLUSH HOOVES...
& the velour-soft grass-sniffer is 'BOVINELY' boop-able!
RTs appreciated! More pics in thread below!

Fàilte Gu Selkie Suits! (Welcome to Selkie Suits!)
RETWEETS greatly appreciated!
I'm so thrilled to show you my new name & logo for the next step in my fursuit creation career! Please keep reading to see more on the theme & the amazing people who helped me get here... (1/8)
Super happy with this! Wasted space who is she?! 😋
Planning & patterning for this full suit has taken me a bit longer than usual as I also worked in the tail pieces & an extra set of armsleeves
Now to cut & trim over 100 pieces...
Practice, Patience & more Practice!
First canine carve I ever made on the left, 5 years ago from the WIP of the wolf carve I'm working on currently.
Never give up on yourself & what you want to achieve ✨
#FursuitFriday
"Why are fursuits soooooo expensive?!" Check:
102 separate pieces need to be transferred to fur, cut out AND trimmed before sewing all 102 pieces together...THEN overlocking high stress area or the whole thing (preference)
This IS NOT a complex design.
That's why 😉
Two VERY different digitigrade paw commissions to round up June! Please scroll through the whole thread to see both sets😘
First up - these unique 'minky' x faux fur combo paws! Lined with soft quilted broadcloth & finished with the cutest embroidered heart 💖
KASION IS FINSIHED!!!
Watch this space for proper full suit photos coming very soon! I'm extremely proud of this suit, so many new techniques used!

With the unreasonable vitriol launched at makers over things we cannot control, eventually there will be less makers willing to work under these exhausting expectations.
We are SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS. SMALL. Meaning one or two people usually. We don't have time for this.
