Catch a Tiger by His Tail!

You can now look forward to another full sized costume appearing ... Tail first! I bought nice thick webbing and a strong clip. I prefer tails to be very securely attached to the body and never to the fur of the costume - people do tug them!

So here is a strong but also comfortable belt. A tube of Sherpa fleece provides the padding esp if you don't wear much under your fursuit. Fur is very warm!

The tail has been attached with extra strong thread and here I am wearing it. For more bounce, wear the tail upside down!

Brownie Points!

Sometimes you just have to sew on badges! These are rainbows ones, that my two little rainbows finally remembered to bring down their tabards for sewing! I have explained that asking me to sew them when we are about to leave for rainbow guides wont work, and tonight they took that on board! Tabards and colourful badges appeared folded by my sewing machine, as if by magic ...



Then I worked on the tail of something ...

Horsey, horsey ...

About a year ago we adopted this old horse from a nearby freecycler ... His mane and tail were knotted and dread-locked, and random attempts to brush them, or stick the mane back onto his head all failed! In this picture the tail looks quite well brushed, but then it would rub as it was rocked and all mess up again!



So I made a lovely new tactile, non-snagging tail, from some rather nice packaging rope. It swings beautifully when our horse gallops!



carefully removing tacks, glue and nylon hair revealed a rather elegant neck, and the rainbow hat, which is too itchy for Mary, keep him warm too!


I need to find him some kind eyes next, he has been painted here, and rather resembles a goat!

Edward Tulane has his tail, and some nice, new trousers! ....

now for his frock-coat ...

follow me too :-)

i have added a doobrey on the left there, just under where to get my stuff, just like caroline on uniquat who comes here often. so im following her and it now looks like she has 3 friends.

its quite groovy actually, i like the updates on the dashboard page.
its a bit like facebook only less ... all for show? maybe ....

after the poor dino post yesterday i found lots of happy PLEOS on youtube and felt much better.

phew.
