Airbrushed snow leopard tail
Here's a better view of the airbrushed snow leopard tail. Spots, yay! I really am quite pleased with how this one came out, though I already have some ideas (including one good suggestion from JJ) about how to improve it.
Tail is for sale, if anybody's interested.

This is made from Montery Mills white fox fur. I buy it straight from them by the roll. But probably the best source of it if you don't need 15 yards is www.crscrafts.com They have it listed under teddy bear supplies.
Well, the MM fox is some of the best I've used, but sadly it only comes in white, black, and "palomino" which is a light golden brown with a darker base. Nice fur but very limited colors.
For most things I end up using what's a pretty standard fur, there are a dozen or so places that carry it, it's a 2" rather than a 3" like the MM, but it's still very fluffy. http://www.distinctivefabric.com/fa.....ct=SLDLGHRFUR1 is where I buy it. It's very high quality stuff. Hard to shave down but otherwise perfect for just about anything, and it comes in even more colors than they have listed there, if you shop around a bit.
http://www.sparkcostumes.com/galler......php?album=118 was made with a combination of that and the extra long fur from the same source.

Hopefully that's helpful.
