Cute! Fuzzy! Must share!

I’ve finished my very first real animal plush* today! Heee! He came out so well!

He’s life size. A bit on the large size for a fox, really, as he’s 36″ if you include the tail. Eyes are glass, I couldn’t find plastic ones large enough with the slit pupil. (If anybody knows of a good source for animal eyes that carries something other than regular round bear eyes, that’d be great!) Anyhow, I made him all by my little self, with no pattern or anything. Though I’ve saved the shapes I came up with, so I can replicate him if I need to.

He was a bit of an experiment, and could probably use a tiny bit of tweaking, but I think he turned out very well, so I’ll now be taking plush commissions now, which I hope will be a fun little sideline to the costume/fursuit thing.

*Loonakits don’t count, really.

Unfortunately he already has a new home. I’ll be shipping him out to it quite shortly. I could make you another one, but, er…. they’re not cheap at all.

I have sources for glass eyes already, (that’s what he’s got now!) I’m just hesitant, should I make one of these for a child rather than an adult, to have glass eyes. I mean… they’re thick, and unlikely to break, but it still just somehow doesn’t seem safe.
