A Spinner of Tails
13 years ago
General
Hello? Anyone out there? Can you hear me alright? If you're all seated, I guess I'll begin.
Years ago, I made this account with no real intention for it. Alright, that's a bit of a fib, I had one intention: I'm a terrible show off. However, I had other ways of showcasing my creativity, and subsequently this was left to gather dust. I primarily used Furaffinity to "stalk" other artists, and that happened less and less as my life changed and my fursona faded into a background image rather than a living definition of self. To be fair, I was never a really gung-ho furry. I went to the odd furmeet, and got around to owning a pair of ears and a cute little jingly bell for my neck, but that was about it. C'est la vie, oui amis?
However, the past has come to visit me once again. Allow me to recount a few moments:
- Several years ago, while on a vacation in Turkey, I purchased a very large skein of eyelash yarn and wove it into a beautiful, fuzzy, jewel-purple scarf, one which I still wear and recieve many compliments on today.
- Over two years ago, after a big move, I got into Live Action Role Playing, and began to heavily costume my characters as best as I could.
- One year later, a group of friends invited me to go partake in a much more immersive LARP experience. I began work in earnest on a costume for a cat-race character, and another scarf was woven, this time in flickering orange with brown tips. I wove a small cord to tie it on and use it as a tail. Though the cat-character never came to light, the scarf was used as a tail anyway for a later LARP game (this time sported on an otter-like changeling).
- Last Halloween, the aforementioned tail was used as a mane around my neck for a fox costume.
- Now, these last two winters I have been weaving yet again, making at least one scarf a season to give away to a lucky friend.
As you can now see, weaving has made it's way back into my system. I suppose it's always been there, but now it's resurfaced and around to stay for some time at least. Though I wish to continue with my beloved hobby, the byproducts need a home other than a shoebox by the front door. That's when I began to think... Out there, in the big wide world, are many subtle furries like myself, right? That would like to show their animalistic side with pride, but aren't ready to jump into the world fursuiting. And aren't there also furries who take such pride that they want to keep part of their fursona with them where ever they went? That would appreciate something lightweight and versitile.
So it has been decided: I will be a Spinner of Tails.
Several prototypes have been created, with one more variation on the way. With luck I will have photos up soon, along with other details. What I want (and hope) you will do is watch me very closely. Watch, and tell others to watch. This is only the beginning.
