I'll have pics tomorrow of the updated progress, but I quit for the night since it was getting wayy too warm (of course, now the clouds have rolled in after I'm packed up).

Fur is 95% done. All that remains is hemming the bottom edge and fixing a few holes I missed when attaching the neck to the head. I decided to completely redo the eyes and make them less shit, basically. Nixed the buckram and went for very narrow crochet plastic mesh for better vision and ventilation; made larger eyes entirely with the plastic sheets I ordered and sanded the edges so that it was a smoother finish overall. The plastic bowl method, while nice, is a bit too difficult to execute well without a dremel tool. Maybe it was the plastic itself, but it was very difficult to carve out the finer edges with an exacto knife, and it wasn't forgiving about slight mistakes. I was also worried that if it was bent too harshly (accidents happen) that it would crack. This new plastic is very flexible and easier to deal with.

I'm toying with the idea of adding a bit of velcro to the paws and arm sleeves :karimah: made me just so there's no accidental skin showing during high-movement activities like the upcoming bowling meet. Also need to start and finish feet paws, but those don't need to be done for another week and a half.
