Fur problems... (fursuit makers help?)
12 years ago
General
Ok. I told myself before to never buy too little fur for a project again. Whenever you go back and order more of the same kind, the color won't be the same. I did that with Taco and some fur is different on him in places but since it's black it's hard to tell.
Weeeell I didn't buy enough all at once again and purchased more for Zaphod. No biggy right? Wrong. So wrong.
I had to order more grey for the body and it just arrived. I laid it out next to the other fur I have any the colors are VERY OFF.
I can't get away with using that fur when the head is so different.
I bought it from the exact same link so that isn't the issue. The fur texture and length are the same, it's just the color.
Guys, I'm not entirely sure what to do at the moment... Do I try again and buy another yard? I don't want to give up!
I worked to hard on Zaphod already to just keep him as a partial! This is so upsetting. I really don't know.
I think I'll just buy yard after yard until I get the color I want.... what do you guys think?

The left and middle tails were both made from DF Grey ordered maybe a month or two apart, but they may as well be different furs completely! I've found at least 3 distinct variations of it: a very dark grey with an almost metallic look, a medium-dark grey which I consider the 'standard', and then the lightest grey seen above which I consider more 'silver' than 'grey'.
