Shearing shearing all the shearing. Ideally, hoping to have this batch out by the end of the week. There will be seven total, and they will all be a little bit different while still all being gray wolves.

Had a great question about makeup come in today- This is for makeup novices out there: If you are going to back out your eyes to go with my masks, you can level up that look by putting color BACK onto your eyelids to make your eyes pop.

He looks like a siamese the way some artists handle the design during this time... others, it just seemed like they weren't comfortable drawing cat faces or something. You know, like how horses look weird in a lot of animes. Anyway, hee hoo lion face go.

This is where this is going, more or less. For those unfamiliar, there was an era during the nineties where tldr, beast was a cat. And some of the art i cannot stand and some of the art is in line with what I do- And i'm just kind of doing a riff on various designs from that era.

Plugging along on this. Meow-era Hank Mccoy. It was in my lane, so I said why not. I'm doing the head and the gloves, and a friend is handling the outfit. It'll be done when it's done.

But then Iggy showed up. He also loves mumther. He also loves everyone. He loves you. He loves those yet to be and those that have been. He is 15 lbs of love, a linebacker of love. Do you like your personal space? Good news, he also likes your personal space.

My most beautiful and dumbest son. He uses his entire single brain cell to love mumther. He asks other people for pets and then hits them because they are not mumther. He is scared of someone sneezing next door. He is just mumther's special boy.

I did mean what I said about that series of gray wolves. 6 or 7 basic larp masks, all grey wolves, but each done a little differently, will be available soon. Not putting a date on it yet but they are in production.

I like making masks. It is a thing I enjoy doing and it is my livelihood. I cannot make masks if my government is too stupid because being too stupid causes disruptions in every part of my personal and business life. Of COURSE I am political -this isnt nebulous concepts, Its tangible impacts.

All three white options of the galace 4wy stretch fur sandwiched between their palest yellow and palest pink, which depending on the pallet could themselves be used as whites they are just that pale. So good.

Recent larp mask for a client. Revised my demi-hood design a little bit.

If I had a nickel for every time I asked an aliexpress fur seller about a separate product and then was presented with an as yet unknown stretch for I would have two nickels. Miemie. Not yet for public sale but watch them in like 2 months. It's a lot like the big z stuff but much much shorter.

Magpiebones @magpiebones.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
This is one of my larp/half masks with a demi-hood and the edge of it has been brush-thru'd so there's no visible fabric edge, it's only fur. And that allows this 'melting' sort of illusion between the hair of the mask and my head hair. Awkward shot but you get it.

Oh. Hi. I did not think this would work.

So whats my deal? I am a mask and costume artist that specializes in masks where the wearer's eyes are visible and stuff built to survive and be easier to wear in larp environments. I use all flexible materials in hopes of greater safety, comfort and durability. 1/2

Another finding on the GAlace stretch fur- 1038 'coffee' it's still four way stretch, but has a slightly weird lined texture to the fur and a different backing. And 1022 'baby pink' is shorter and a little denser than all others i've ordered so far from this line.

Update on the short 4 way stretch fur from GAlace- Ok so every piece Ive gotten so far has been perfect except for their black fabric- curiously, it is only 2 way stretch and has a completely different backing from all other fabrics. That said, it is still a -really good- 2 way stretch.

Magpiebones @magpiebones.bsky.social · 16/08/2026
Second batch of stuff came. It's all really good. I got my swatches too. One thing, though, is they got the wrong black fabric and i'm certain of it comparing the swatch to the fabric they sent me, so hopefully they're able to sort that out with where they're sourcing it from.

Color matching the other stretch options I bought to regular for funzies.

Magpiebones @magpiebones.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
But curiously, the black is only two way stretch. Smooth but different backing. To its credit? It's a -really- good two way stretch and I'll still be happy to use it. It's just not what I wanted and i'm asking the company about it.

Magpiebones @magpiebones.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
So second order arrived, and there's still another package that will be coming in eventually. Remember when I talked about expecting some variability? Most of the furs are great and have the same four way stretch.

Just some stuff in the leadup to my opening on the 22nd. You'll email me with your order as outlined in my catalog here www.magpiebones.com/ordering.html And I will remain open for a bit to give folks time to get those in, but expect it to not exceed like 48 hours 1/2

I am just a buyer and have no affiliation with this seller. I dug around and lucked out talking to them. I got what I wanted and am happy. Show them love, be nice, and they will see this is worth continuing to supply. Heres ya stretch fur. Enjoy. www.aliexpress.us/item/3256812...

Until seen otherwise, expect a little inconsistency of length and texture between colors because there is inconsistency between colors on the 2wy mink. You must contact them directly to tell them how much you want first. Be breif, be polite, be clear. 2/3

PREFACE: READ CAREFULLY. You will need to contact the seller directly that you are interested, and they will stock it for you. These are the same guys that sell the 2 way stretch mink that Mantacraft found a bit back This fur is not as dense as gummy or sunplus but still strong and nice. 1/3

So here's that glove I made with my own pattern again. It is drafted from my hand. Shown is my hand versus my husband's hand -his are much bigger than mine but the glove fits him excellently. That's the kind of stretch we're dealing with here. It was a little loose on me.It was perfect on him.

The very fastest turkey glove I could whip out. Zero the seam allowance and this is actually still loose for me.
