. . and at last, my shipment of DOG has arrived after it's run at #mff25! Thank you so much to @caffeinecraft.bsky.social for doing such a good job on my partial! I never thought I'd have my own suit, but here we are! It almost doesn't feel real!

Fursuit partial for @katmir.bsky.social Was a lot of fun to work through this one, all hand carved foam and hand painting for the eyes. The hair tuft is removable via magnet. #fursuit #fursuiting #furry

Guy at MAGFest was cosplaying as the Wheel of Fortune. He would ask people to choose a number between one and four and then say "NOPE"

Never using a sharpie on my EVA foam again. These are heat sensitive markers from singer, disappear completely with a quick heat gun blast. #cosplay #cosplaytutorial #evafoam #foamsmithing

Weaving the belts for the new lagombi outfits. Not nearly as difficult as I'd thought it would be. Once you get into a groove you can fly through it. #cosplay #weaving #monsterhunter

I submitted a FOIA request for every submission for the Illinois state flag competition. Today, I got the files. You have no idea what they're keeping from us.

Had a great time at #MFF2024 this year, always one of the highlights of our year. First time running a booth there, huge thanks to everyone who stopped by and chatted with us. Linktree has been updated and we'll be open for orders starting next year!

New vs Old lagombi boot builds. A lot of new techniques and a much cleaner execution. Even built the shoe base from scratch! #cosplay #monsterhunter #monsterhuntercosplay #lagombi

I think it's been over six years since I've made one of these, let alone multiple. They're about 9' long and can be worn. They'll be for sale at MFF and maybe on the etsy store after. #sewing #cosplay #pokemon #gyarados

Along with starting to take commissions, we also spun the etsy store and its hats back up. All made from fleece with a custom headband to pose and keep the ears up when worn. Linktree in bio has a link to the etsy shop. #pokemon #hat #fleece #sewing
