Art Prize 2018
Happy Halloween. Pic from this fall's Art Prize in Grand Rapids Michigan.
Quite certain my fursuit is the first Hummingbird clearwing moth fursuit ever made. She was made more than a year before this picture but without wings until now. The feet are still on hold to be made.
The antennas have green fiber optic lights, and the wings light up with EL wire sewn inside embedded vinyl wings.
These wings may be a big reason my physical health has been out for over a month, a needle managed to get through my thumb while hand sewing these wings. I'll never re-make vinyl wings again sadly, and i'm looking into commissioning prettier moth wings anyway. I'm mostly unable to sit up, so usually i'm laying down and walking once in a while. Symptoms are mainly soreness in neck/shoulder/arm and major tingling in my arm with some numbness in my thumb. This is just a warning to never sew heavy materials without proper care to anyone who is looking into hand threading thick vinyl! Bear in mind, I managed to fall on my butt and other various clumsy incidences/bad position habits that could have been the main cause rather than the needle itself.
Fursuit will be submitted to
ESC whenever she has some new updates when i'm happier with them :)
TIGER MOTH PUN INTENDED.
