Hmmm.....I suggest you try doing paper mache?

maybe... I'd have to find some wire though, ATM I have very little for personal projects. :p
I've never done paper mache, it might be fun. :O

Well, I've done paper mache and learned how to do some things with it, but more on it would have to be with fur I need to learn how to deal with.

I can maybe make you up a pair of hands. I got some black fur and pink fleece I aint using.

Do you by chance have any grey fur on hand?
I'd like to have gloves that come to around my elbows, but If you don't have any I can try to find some...


What would they be worth to you?

Well I have some white I can try and dye gray. But that's a bit of a hit and miss. Fake furs don't like to stain very well but that don't mean I can't try.

If you have anything with a gator on it, I would like that <:3c

If not, a small sage fan would be pretty cool.

I can make you a sage fan using some snake skin... I think that's the most reptilian I have ATM...
I can do something nice

Don't worry about the fur, it's not a big deal :p I looked up a few places that might be able to sell me small amounts of 2 tone fur.

So I time on my hands last night. This is as gray as I can get that white fur.

OOoo, thats actually REALLY good, the one on the left looks perfect, like the tips are lighter than the base... Looks really good!

Well alright. I'll dye up some more white and get started. I'll need some measurements of your hands to make sure the gloves fit right.

like what? palm width, finder length and arm length?

Yes. Like so: http://i.imgur.com/FCvIL.png
Tip of your middle finger to the palm, and all the way around the palm of the hand.

I'll also need measurements of the arm.
From the tip of middle finger to your shoulder.
I'll also need measurements of your wrist, elbow, and your shoulder/armpit all the way around.

Middle finger to wrist - 7 inches
Middle finger - 3 inches
Palm is 8.25 inches around

Middle finger to elbow is 17 inches
Elbow is 10.5 around
Is this all right?

I don't need them to go the whole way up my shoulder. elbow is fine
here's something to basically go off of:

(I drew it with a mouse, don't laugh :p

i've made a pretty awesome set of paper-macher masks for myself and my boyfriend last year :3 i'm also working on a fursuit head of my sona myself. i'm not sure what i could do, but if i'm able to give you any tips on how to do it let me know :)

Oooo, I can't wait to see how that comes out!

all i have left to do to it is add a back and fur it :) it's so close to being done

Oh wow! that's great! you gonna wear it for Hallow then?

maybe next year. i dont think i'll have enough time to finish it :/ i've been so busy with school and work to do much with it. plus i have to find the right color fur for the blue on my fursona's ears and snout

well... then.... you should ttly share what you have so far, you got me intrigued!

I need to finalize what I want design wise for my opossum :>
I'll probably keep her looking natural, just add accessories to make her mine OvO

do it up!! that would be super cute :D not gonna lie. i enjoy natural sonas and characters sometimes :) i've got a coyote girl that i havent posted yet, but her markings are all natural. it just looks nice :3 and sure :D i'll have to get new batteries for my camera, but i'll totally post some pictures

Well now that I'm actually watching (lol) I'll be sure to catch that :D
I havent drawn anything for a bit, maybe I'll develop my possum more :O

hmmmm maybe :3 and that would be sweet :D i'd love to draw yer little possum <3

Oh I could possibly help you out with this.

I know a few ways to do ears, a stiff an floppy way.

And I mean you could make a really cheap fursuit head blank with just paper-macher though it's less durable (You really couldn't get it wet)

What would a set of ears be worth?


Maybe in the future I'll try it, I had some ideas for a more tribal mask, I'll look more like an opossum warrior or priest than a fursuit lol

I'm just not sure if I'd wear a real suit like those fancy ones more than once, fur time and materials seem like a big investment if I only wear it once or twice :p

Ears are anywhere from 10-20 bucks for me because I know how to make them cheaply but with good quality.

Were you up to doing a trade?

That would be interesting :)

Do you like something in my gallery? or I can make you something new :>

I was looking to get something like this : http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums.....nsYoik/ear.jpg

Holes for earspools, I'd like the darker part to be a very bark grey if you have the fabric, but black is ok

Ohhh I honestly really like that jaw bone necklace you've sold. ouo

I'm pretty sure I could dye a light gray to make it as dark as you want it.

Ahh for the holes would you like any plastic gauges in them? If not that's fine.


Also~ I was thumbing though your gallery and saw the little pictures of your character and how they had that scull atop their head. I was wondering if you were interested in something like that little scull that I could cast for you (Since I already have the mold to make it.) Of coarse I could also paint it and add the teeth (Since I made the mold without the teeth) or I could just send it to you without me adding any work to it except trimming off the jaw.

I could totally replicate the raccoon jaw, only I don't have any jaws ATM except for the ones I used for those earrings : http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8936008/

Those are weasel jaws. They're small but I could do a bracelet in the same fashion.
If that ideas no good I can take a bunch of pictures of my current inventory and you can choose some items from that I could work with.

And OH.... That's really tempting O.O
I have to step out, but I'll get back to you when I get back home ^.^

Ohh dude a weasel jaw bracelet would be so rad. :O
Like if you could make it almost a voodoo fashion? Yess that would be perfect.

That's just fine. ouo

Is that all you'd want if you made the ears and just a base skull cap? (no paint, no teeth)

VooDoo will be fun! I have a few things I can use to make a neat charm bracelet, would you rather have something like a bracelet with the jaws and other things danglies or use the jaws in the same fashion as that raccoon necklace and also danglies?

Yes that would do nicely. ouo

I was thinking like the jaws could be fixed into the bracelet like not dangling. That's really the only thing specifically, other than that you can go wild with the charms :D I would love to see what you'd make!

Ill make you something nice ;> would you prefer chain, hemp, or leather base ?

I was thinking more along the lines of leather. ouo
