the ear goes here ....

looks like a map of the wold type thing ....but this is what the surface of the foam mouse head looks like laid flat. this is pattern making using the old laura ashley curtains method, using tape or pins to make the darts ...

this method makes lovely 'organic' darts !
and its why you wont find many stright lines on the fursuit, too, including the white under-arm strip!

after making this pattern i sliced the top of the head and cut it from longer fur to make a cute top-knot ... i hope !

click through to the flickr photo to see some notes of what goes where ....
