Trying to use my fabric scraps for sewing projects. I have a garden which I'm allowing to grow willy nilly this year (mostly due to health issues). I donate, I try to buy secondhand. I support small businesses as much as I can afford.

New blade for sure! Whenever my blade doesn't cut, it gets replaced (old one goes into recycling). Fiskars has good shears & Olfa has good place blade replacements & handles.

Check out subreddits for each type of card. There's tons of collectors out there! Local card shops will take bulk & some will buy them from you.

I heard someone describe it as: the bear is acting on instinct & will kill you for food, making death quick. A man will act on pleasure & will make it torture for you for his gain & will slowly kill you.

She doesn't like the smell or it could be irritation.

Some dogs just do that. You wouldn't like something smelly & somewhat gooey on your hair so you do what you can to tolerate it or get it off.

The 4 pack box one I did get 2 hits from once. Not bad. Will probs buy the random ones for pin making & other stuff.

Electric carving knife. You can find cheap yet good ones at thrift stores. Electric scissors may also help here. Get yourself a good pair of spring loaded scissors, keep them sharp. Razor blades/utility knife will get into corners.

If you have a yard of fur, yeah you should have enough for paws I think. If anything just order more fur.

Going to guess, about half a yard of each, less for the smaller colors. Most places will only let you buy minimum 1yard, so you have extra in case of a mistake.

keep building! blend, blend, blend! let the snout blend into the cheeks, add some depth to the bottom jaw & ears. open up the eyes a bit more. if you want, i can redline the image for ya & give you some guidance.

fake. the texture is wrong, the hp is wrong, the holographic pattern is wrong.

Either she has an itch she can't get to, or she's trying to...Pleasure herself somewhat & she's too short & stocky to do that. I'd say it's the second one since your other dog reacts to that.

I know this one is the eastern symbol of luck. I've even seen it as an identifier for temples on some maps. Unfortunately, the western culture will always look down on this symbol no matter what angle its at. I know the difference between the symbols & even then I still get them mixed up.

It's such a beautiful fursuit! I'd love to see more from ya!

Nothing to worry about. They're having a wonderful dream about running over squirrels with a car.

Now if your dog was awake & these tremors happens, then it's time to see the vet.

I have lucid dreamt before & its extremely hard for me to not rush into doing what I want. I realize I'm dreaming & I just either explore the world inside me or I want to become a werewolf or fly or whatever. But when I try to transform myself I usually wake up.

I just want to be a werewolf so bad. Is that too much to ask??

It's designed to stick to fabric so it'll work just It'll still make it look a little crusty & will eventually flake off.

You can always paint your fursuit, but the paint will stiffen the fabric & make it appear crusty. Practice on some scrap fabric before you do & mess around with different effects like dry brushing, blending, different brushes & such.

Oh it hurts my little card collecting heart to see these in that condition

Sounds like your doggo may have just had an upset stomach. If her stomach still feels hard, get that checked by a vet.

My previous dog had stomach issues for years & everyday was different. She would eat nothing & still have a bad day. Turns out she had an enlarged liver & severe gastric problems. This can happen in senior dogs suddenly. Looks like your dog is still pretty young, but if this event happens again, get them checked by the vet.

Could be a bur. One of those things that stick to dogs when they run into the bush at mach jesus.

Get some alcohol wipes & simply wipe down the fursuit head, avoid any parts that have been airbrushed including the eyes.

Other option: Mix 50/50 alcohol & water in a spray bottle. Add a scented essential oil for added freshness. Spray the inside of the head ( avoid the eyes). Spray a towel then wipe down the head.

Another option is to order a handheld wet vac (Bissell Green Machines work well), add a tablespoon of laundry detergent to the water tank & use that.

Never, EVER bring your fursuit to the dry cleaners. It will destroy your fursuit. Don't put your fursuit in the dryer either. Air dry only.

My advice: make them eyeholes a bit bigger. Trust me, you'll want the max amount of vision possible. You'll be covering the holes with a mesh, so no need to make them small.

Add some cheeks! Puff the cheeks out a little bit (layer them so they're almost juuuuust wide enough to be parallel to the ears.) On most furry drawings, cheeks go ever so slightly before the ears, if you catch what I mean.

Edit: use faux fur instead of felt! Faux fur hides mistakes & seams better.

When I had big dogs, the heaviest one of us would pin the dog down (basically laying on top of them in a big hug), sometimes someone else would hold their head & then someone else would apply the treatment. Right after, the dog would get a reward. Eventually it got to the point where only one of us would be able to put treatment on the dog.

We also use the command "Let me see!" Whenever we need to observe something on the dog. Our current dogs know the command now & they'll calmly let us see their feet or tail or whatever (for the most part).
