Upcoming Cons, Roommate moved out and a Social Media Plug
Posted 6 years agoHello!
Thought, I would drop in for an update!
Work process has been steady. As the year has progress, I have been working on sculpting, molding and casting our own parts. I have just finished head base mold#2 and as time progresses, we will add to our collection and slowly but surly work speed will increase as we add common species to our mold set.
For those that saw the Lisa Ling episode, your aware of my medical maladies and my persistence to try to work and make something of my life anyways. This year has been a wild ride. We moved to central Oregon shortly after filming, and then later, north to Portland for better medical services.
Unbeknownst to many, two weeks prior to filming I was in a bad car accident. A pickup hit an elk and veered into my lane, hitting me head on at 60 miles an hour. I suppose I'm lucky to have lived and it not been worse being that I was able to make it through filming (at my own stubborn volition) with a neck brace and very high doses of pain medication. I bring this up, because I did not survive without lifelong injury. My spine was damaged and our car insurance managed to weasel out of paying me the $15,000 they owe me, and I left with no coverage from either side as an "act of god". The damage will worsen throughout my life. Currently my spine is beginning to degenerate and I have spreading nerve damage from my neck and many bad discs.
In the process of moving, I was transferred to the university for medical care due to my unique complications. I was later diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and Mast Cell Activation Disease (MCAD) in addition to my EDS and other issues. While I am starting some treatments to try and improve the symptoms of POTS, my conditions are difficult and little can be done.
My right shoulder has degenerated to the point that the labrum has fully worn away and no longer has a socket to hold my shoulder bone. It exists attached to my arm by only the muscles and the weakening rotator cuff. Having done PT since spring, I just ran out of coverage and return to working 5-6 days a week. My arm movement has improved from 29% to 42% and is unfortunately the best it will really get from here. The current goal is to change my work habits and stations to further improve my capacity to create suits around my failing, degenerating body.
I am unsure how much longer I will be able to continue trying to dance in suit. My dream of dancing the comp one day at ANW is steadily reaching a reality that it probably wont happen, but for now ill keep trying.
Arctonyx's nerve pain continue's to spread, but we are doing the best we can with what we have.
As of December 2018, we parted ways with Pro-cat-ination studios with the realization that this was not the job for her and she was not ready to work full time in a job at home amid distractions and she moved back to Idaho. While I thought this was a positive split, it later became apparent that it was not and a plethora of rumors made it back around to us several times over. I choose to remain uninvolved in the petty behavior and if you have heard something, I don't care to hear about it.
Well our roommate and maker partner Kobaruto moved out a couple weeks back. They are no longer making suits with us and everything left is to my husband and I. We are struggling with our health concerns but pushing through it the best we can.
At this time frame, the queue total has been shrunk by 50% and I still would like to further cut it down to 3 work blocks. For every 2 or 3 projects going out, I am only filling one and this has steadily shrank the work load over the year. It has also allowed me to put more time and care towards are patreon.
Currently we live stream publicly 2 days a week and for the Patreon 2 days a week. Any support of our Patreon, whether directly or even just through shares is greatly appreciated. As we have worked hard and struggled to get a good hold on things and create a solid foundation, with my health issues impeding work, we need support to help cover now that Kobaruto has moved out. We are unable to obtain a roommate and most of the home is for the business, so we look towards patreon with hopes for a bright future and many years of continuing to make your awesome projects!
Lastly, we currently have one slot open for a full suit and all slots for payment plans are currently open. We are queue based, so wait times are currently around 12-16 months to completion from the point your added to the queue. If your interested in nabbing our lone slot, or setting up a payment plan, please message us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram for our quote form.
Lastly, our social media plugs:

Slot OPENING! *Filled*
Posted 6 years agoI am announcing an opening by for a single queue slot for a digitigrade full fursuit at at 20% discount. This is a Paid-in-full slot only. This slot will fill quickly so dont miss your chance. First paid, first claimed. If there is too much demand we may take offers and give to the highest bidder.
Two slots have been removed from the queue, and one opened as a result of a customer violating our terms of service and thier contract. We will not change the order of the queue, bend to threats of black mail or put up with harrassment of any sort. Our wait time sits at year, approximately 1/3 of the time of most other large makers. No names will be named, the esty will remain closed.
This slot will be added to the end of the queue. Again, we wanted to thank all of those who have been patiently waiting while we work through the queue. It is appreciated. I hope you will all join me for my stream on Monday and the final pics of Shohio will be posted Sunday evening.

Just popping in with an update!
Posted 9 years agoThank you to all the new watchers I have recently received! :3 You guys are awesome! I really need to get in the better habit of updating my FA and Weasyl accounts when I do DA and Facebook. I have several new originals done and am almost done with my fursuit of my Darss Edar, Ashaeda. For those wondering, many people ask what a darss edar is and the simple answer is something like a badger dragon, however darss edar are not related to either. They would actually be a closer kin to wolves or griffins. They usually do not fly as their wings are mostly a vestigial appendage and most do not grow strong or large enough wings to get much use of them. I' have been meaning to take the time to write in the lore and basis behind them, but have not gotten to it yet.
Stay tuned as I get my FA updated over the next week, As always, you can see my most current work on Facebook by looking up Weasels on Easels.

Weasels on Easels' First Kickstarter Campaign!
Posted 10 years agoOur first kickstarter just went live! It runs through March 27 until 11:59 PST. Check it out Here => https://www.kickstarter.com/project.....goal-at-a-time
Here's to (hopefully) being successful on the first try! Even if you can't support it financially, we still appreciate any help at all even if it's just sharing online or telling a friend! That's what makes it "community" funded! Thanks to the many people who helped me get it together and those who helped me proofread!
For those who would like a laugh, if you listen really carefully, you can hear my cat during the instrumental. She likes to stand on her back paws and rub my face and meow whenever I play my flute. We'll try to get an out-takes video link on there in a week if we can. Thanks everyone!
