this glue gun is loaded ....

my new gun, very neat ... very HOT!
all fursuiters must wield hot glue guns ...

the fabric of the furry feet, long fur, short fur and oatmeal fleece ...

mmmmmmm. soft ... in need of structure ... so back to those foam shapes i was cutting out and sewing ...

the feet with some shape ...

here are the foam toes glued inside the fleece toes, this hot glue works great, it sets fast and holds the fabric under tension ...

try not to get in the way of it tho, i dont even know how i got a hot blob on the back of my thumb!

i am going under the knife tomorrow so will not be in my workshop. i do have some small pieces of hand sewing to take with me in case i can't concentrate on my book or magazine. wish me luck, and i'll see you when i get back

Hope all goes well. Furry foot looks great - so want to see the finished suit!

Ouch, I remember getting lots of burns from hot glue when I constructed my rat fursuit, not to mention stabbing thumb with the sewing needle a few times.
