Bounced around on different things today. Tiny bit of work on Blues’s hands. Started on his padding. Sewed in his zipper and neck liner. And then finished up attaching his tail.
Back soon!
Thanks so much for sticking around while I’m on vacation! Excited to be back to work soon working on cute critters 💜💜
Studio update

Studio update
Blues’s body cut out! Giving him a long corgi body, it’s going to be so cute!
saber finished!
what a king! complete with his crown <3photos by Cassius as always!
Studio update
It’s a little hard to show pics but sabers zip off tail worked great! Can’t see the zip from the outside. The tail is partially foam core so it has enough structure to stand up like a husky tail, but I also wanted it removable for easy washing of the body.
Studio update
Both sets of paws for Saber done! Just need to finish his tail and some other small details
Studio update
Working more on sabers feet paws. Tried to make some little labels for the right and the left. Doing anything with the sublimation printer always takes me so long even though it looks simple there is such a learning curve. But each time I learn something for the future.
Studio update
Finished cutting out sabers feet paws and started sewing the toes. Cassius also cut out foam pieces for 2 heads
Studio update
Installed Saber’s zipper and neck today

Studio update

Studio update
Saber glued and getting shaved!
Studio update
Used more iron on stabilizer for a gold tooth. Saber is almost ready to glue!
Studio update
Working on sabers nose. Used some foam iron on stabilizer to help keep the shapes sharp. Turning that nose ring right side out was quite the task!
Studio update
Sewed saber’s fur together today. Still need to do all the inner bits and nose
Studio update
These are just practice with the prints that came out too brown but AH! So cool. The left one got dog hair on it somehow haha will have to make sure to avoid that for the real prints
Studio update
Ahhh so excited about these sublimation eyes. Left was first print which came out a bit brown, after some help from tech support Cassius we got a much better print. Will try transferring them to the eye mesh tomorrow!
Studio update
This guy is trying to kill me with these ear markings!
Studio update
Ready to cut out fur!
Studio update
Did a bunch of slight adjustments to saber’s base, he’s coming out good! I usually like to save the head for last but I’m waiting on more black fur to arrive for his hands and feet. I didn’t realize I ran out!
Studio update
The angry eyes are always a “trust the process” kind of situation haha. Still going to do some adjusting
Studio update
Rough carve for Saber. Wanted to give a little tip about the cheeks, I always carve out a big chunk on the inside of the cheek piece. This will reduce the weight of the head, helps the user hear better, and prevents pressure on the user’s ear when wearing it.
Studio update
Glued together the head pieces and started on a muzz
Studio update
Claws for saber and head prices for saber and the jackal. Stuck if I should make the jackal angry or happy with optional eyelids
Studio update
Cut fingers and toes for Saber (he will be getting 2 sets of feet) and put in a quick label I printed in comet’s suit
Studio update
Parts for the Jackal premade. We have paws done by splitgrapesoda for this guy! She used our pattern to sew them a little while back. Finishing this guy should be a breeze now, very thankful for the help!
