yay fur!

Started working on my Rapidash gijinka cosplay today :D So far, I have the base parts done, and am finishing up dying the fur that I'm going to be using for the flames. I wasn't patient enough to find a fur online that was pre-dyed and with a longer pile - maybe next time. I'm considering this a practice costume, since it's my first time working with fur (on my own) and dying (again, on my own).

So far:
* Arm & leg warmer bases - needs 'flames' to be added
* Horn
* Ears
* Shoes picked out! Honestly, I'm so glad I don't have to go running around searching for something appropriate...

Now I have to decide what I'm using as a base for my mane/horn/ears. I'm thinking a hat base would be most appropriate, and then I'll sew the ears into the seams, and stitch on the horns and mane. Then just the tail, which'll be interesting to construct.


My other costume for Halloween and Saboten-con is going to be a pokemon breeder ♥ A much easier project than Rapidash. I literally only have to add the pokeball logo onto the apron (a lightweight green denim).
