zoo for you!

i thought you might like to look at this wonderful work
a zoo made by children at the new yeovil HEC where i went with steve and the girls on friday ...the vulture and the siver backed gorilla show great use of fursuit fur scraps, and what a great face that bear has ...

next time we go, i will share some information on working with clay so that hopefully we dont have so many injured animals that we found this week! i might also do some sewing, of course !

a couple of fun musical events ...

one is our choir's next concert, here in weymouth, all for charity ...
(i will be there of course .....)

the other is a showcase in the highlands organised by a dear friend of mine ....
the black rock ceilidh band with have them stopin'
(i wish i was there...)

something for this end of the country, and the other !

here is a better picture of the fursuit mouse head ...

he is almost smiling, but he wants me to sit and do him some whiskers ....

isnt it great to see some nice, bright, days again?

my first fursuit .... here he is!

although today it is snowing and slushy, and my todders are pressed to the windows, yesterday was fresh and sunny, just the right kind of weather for taking pics of the finished mouse fursuit... finished that is, apart fromt a set of whiskers ...but i did make the photo deadline and will also make the friday one for words and pictures sent to Rat and Mouse magazine ... phew !
does this make me an official fursuiter?
should i accept more commissions?
have you enjoyed following the proggress of this huge mouse?
i think i have, as a soft-toy maker i have certainly picked up lots of new skills and improved my sewing...

creating a pattern for the muzzle and cheeks
laura ashley curtains for patterns making ....

i cut some tear ducts for improved ventilation, painted the insides blackand covered them with 2 layers of chiffon ...
