I'll be including the plush with the partial (w/a purse chain added so you can carry it around hands-free) but should I buy the rest of the "tabby mackerel" merch? or leave that for the buyer? Since the creator sells at cons I figured it'd be fun to leave the rest for the buyer to get themselves??

K buying a dedicated outfit to debut this purrmaid with (and then include with the the partial) because I *HAVE* to show this huge tail being worn so people know exactly what they are getting into <w<;;; I did not mean to make it a commitment to wear (might be too hard to wear if you are petite...)

(*waves camera around as I click "motion blur activate" *don't wanna fully reveal the tail just yet)

I uh, it may have been a mistake to make this tail as big as the other purrmaid when this one is a partial <w<;;; its base may be bigger around than some people's whole butt ;;;>w>

I'm stuck here, the house is in joint tenancy with her and my sis so it will transfer without probate when she dies... which sounds really nice of her... but before that threatening to not leave us the house (that we've lived in since birth and financially contributed to) was her go-to when riled up

she says that her main problem is that he did not discuss it with her first, and I am just over here thinking he is a grown man with his own grown kid and does not need his mom's permission??? Especially move by the ocean where he's always wanted to live... No he has wait till she dies first???

I don't really consider any of my pieces to be "fully realistic" but I think these are good examples of how close to the real thing I can manage

I have made only 3 raccoons in all my 17 years of doing this as a career, and each one sure came out different

well the client duct tape dummy I need is still running late, so time for another premade! (*randomly adds matching fancy orange watermelon to the photo since I need to do something to help justify what I paid for the darn thing)

Video of this concerned lil lady.
It was interesting doing this expression, "worried" is not something you see much in fursuits at all let alone realistic ones (which we thought about pinned ears, but the ears are so iconic to the breed that we compromised and pinned one only slightly)

methylphenidate is the only thing that works for me, started trying ADHD meds in the 3rd grade but it was not until I was switched to methylphenidate in the 4th grade that everything clicked, I still remember the stark change in how school was, I went from special ed to honor student by 6th grade

like, shoot, I ask about general body type on my intake questions but that was after public snide on first a head looking really small on a client and then another looking really big (back in the LiveJournal days) I'm just trying to make sure no one is teased as being a bobble-head or a pin-head ;w;

I've not talked about it because I'm trying to keep this place not sad...
But my cat Rebel may be terminally ill, he became unwell quite quickly, lab work shows no explanation so the vet thinks it is cancer...
I keep hoping he'll get over whatever it is, but it's been over a week so I fear the worst

LOOKING TO BUY! This bright-orange mango creamsicle beaver fur that Fursuit Supplies used to carry eons ago.

Even hand-sized scraps are helpful but bigger pieces would be nice and so I am willing to pay $100 for a full yard, $50 for half a yard, $25 for a quarter yard

like OMGGGGG we want to but I don't have the time for such a big unpaid project even if we were still doing cons (I even know what furs I wanna uuuuuse)

An artistic liberty commission with the following criteria given to me by the client: A maned wolf colored like a silver marbled fox, real/semi real art style, feminine, with a worried expression.

I am open for art lib work all year, just give me a prompt and see what I come up with :)

new adult cartoon called Haunted Hotel, went in knowing nothing, had no expectations, and I liked it. Not overly sexual, vulgar or violent. I thought I was gonna dislike the demon trapped in the body of Victorian child character but he become my fave. The outcome of the mean aunt ep is cathartic.

some people have some actual "big" plans for the future, like travel to another country, that kind of thing...

...meanwhile my biggest plan for the future is to plant some springtime serotonin this fall (daffodils)

A planned premade fursuit to be done sometime over the next year, all premades will be sold via auction as partials with no option for a fullsuit upgrade BUT if you are seeing this now and want it then you can pre-claim it as a fullsuit.

These furs are planned for a Spring Flower Fox
