3. The first horn is stuffed and ready to go! It might seem odd that I'm doing this feature first, but it'll allow me to mark on the head base exactly where they'll sit. This pattern is from ChilliCosplay on Etsy - it's meant for EVA foam, but I decided to use fabric and stuff it instead.

This is my fursuit-making creation thread, where I'll be constructing a sheep fursuit from start to finish! Feel free to ask anything you'd like about the process - I'll do my best to answer! 🖤💛 1. A trusted friend helped me make a duct tape dummy, which will be used to tailor the bodysuit later.

Whoooo's this handsome fella? It's my SECOND fursuit, a sheep! This time, I'm gonna be documenting my creation journey using this beautiful TPU base by katanori.carrd.co , which is as light as a feather omg (Do I attain the status of 'fursuit maker' once my suit count is plural? I dunno the rules)

There's nothing quite like looking at your shadow in fursuit Seeing your own outline, something so cartoonish and foreign, but oddly familiar to you For the time being, this creature and you are one and the same. 💞

Today, I outdoors-ified some costume shoes for fursuiting, using a rubber mat and a secret ingredient.. Bathroom sealant tape! 🚽 This is the white stuff you put around the base of toilets but, I've realised, it makes amazing piping for giant sneakers - and it's fully waterproof too!

People worry about fursuit glasses coming off when striking a pose, or with rough & tumble I glued magnets onto mine, so Owly can be the animated diva they need to be 🪩 The pull is so strong, I can pull the entire head along with them! These lovely glasses were made by @durian-sergal.bsky.social!

It's so important to keep in touch with your sense of whimsy That joyous wonder that tugged you into your passion by the heartstrings? Not everyone is lucky enough to have that in their lives. If you show the world your true self, you'll be the happiest you can be. ⛅ 📸: @ekron-vulture.bsky.social
