The fursuit in my avatar was my first attempt, was made in less than three weeks with a full-time job, and was absolutely a blast to make. I've been told he's not half bad, either! :3 I'm hoping to get some better pictures of him soon... I'm also combing the Sakura con forums for any that might surface from last weekend. Can't very well just look in a mirror to see how I look from all angles... fursuits kinda don't work that way, ha.

Anyway... seeing him chilling here in my apartment, looking exactly as I imagined he would when I started, makes me wish for an actual workspace so I can make more... but really, I don't have the proper space to make a real hobby out of fursuiting (aside from wearing 'em, because I'm going to wear the FRAK out of mine fr srs! yay!).

Then I got to wondering about art spaces and maker spaces and what that could mean for a possible future in fursuiting... one of my coworkers really would like to have a mouse fursuit, so I offered to help her make one if we could find a good place to work and she was willing to do all the buying of the materials (that stuff don't come cheap man!).

Is this something that exists? A place where fursuiters can go to make fursuits?
If not, this should be a thing. A bunch of local furs meeting up every week or a couple times a week for a few hours and just making fursuits together in a group. Learning, sharing tips, having fun and creating together.

Together... because I'm too broke to create on my own, haha!
