OK, so as I'm sure many of you may have noticed from my latest photo of Fizzy, her suit is mostly done! The only thing I have left to make are her pods, which I have decided to do in a kind of skirt style so when I wear all black leggings and shoes beneath in the age-old stage trick fashion they should hopefully look really cool and mask my human legs! They should have a really cool independent sway that way too, so hopefully it will all work out exactly as I've planned! I've cut out all the pieces and simply need to stitch everything together, stuff it all, and blend all the seams out on all her parts to mask them then she'll be complete! I'm so close I can taste it!!!

Buuuuuuuut unfortunately as much as I want to just plow forward and finish her first, I think I'm going to have to set her pieces aside to start work on my hubby's partial of his fursona, Lucky, instead. XD

Turns out we were right and he's being shipped off on deployment to Antarctica in mid-October (thus why we decided to take Furpocalypse out of our convention schedule this year) so if I want him here for measurements and to try parts on etc. I need to get them done before he leaves. Yes, I could simply take measurements and work off those, but when I'm able to do so I prefer to test things out occasionally to be sure they're fitting right and tweak as I go. Since Life loves to throw curveballs at me that eat up my time I'm afraid that if I try to finish Fizzy's pods before I start on Lucky I will run out of time to get at least the foamwork for his head done before he leaves. Furring Lucky can wait, but I want to at least get the head built before I lose my model, LOL! So unfortunately it looks like Fizzy won't be finished for a little while yet.

I will take some more photos of Fizzy from the waist up to share, and I'll be sure to post WIP photos of Lucky as he takes shape! I'm so excited to be making a shire horse! Have I ever mentioned how much I love horses? Lucky me, I'm married to one, LOL!
