Those suits are so awesome. LOVE the realistic effect of the bird one! Also fellow therian here--glad to see more critters like us joining. :) Welcome!

Yesss! We don't live in a rural area, and I'm not familiar with a lot of the New England birds anymore, but still love seeing what we can find around our neighborhood :) Lots of black-capped and chestnut-backed chickadees to watch, as well as nuthatches and Steller's jays. Some lucky sightings ...

Ahh I've seen those "turbo fans" at some furry meetups and they look essential for hotter environments and bulkier suits! There were a couple attendees in kemono suits, and I imagine they were glad for something super powerful, haha.

Might be basic, but I've always gone with an O2COOL necklace fan ...

Welcome, and thanks for being an admin! A PB&J otter sounds like such a cute design!

Have never heard of "leopard cats" before... Definitely something for me to go into a Wikipedia rabbit hole about when I have a moment! Also those crochet handpaws look soooo comfy... <3 Welcome, and looking forward to seeing you share your expertise!

Welcome, and congrats on going to your first furry convention! Wishing you lots of luck and enjoyment on your fursuit head-making adventures!

OMG I would *love* to see stag beetle pictures 🥺
Puppetry sounds like such a fascinating combination of art, sculpting and technical know-how--it probably takes a lot of precision to make sure everything moves in the proper fashion!

Whoaaa.... I had no idea needle felting a fursuit head was even physically possible! DEFINITELY not for me, since I'm a dancer and my suits see a lot of wear and tear. 🤣 Very cool to read about the process, though! Thank you for sharing!

Wow, congrats on being able to go full-time. That's not easy! Also--love the cat names.

Your website is so cool! The stamps threw me straight back into the early 2000's internet. The needle-felted head concept is amazing too. Definitely looking forward to seeing more of what you share. And thanks for being a mod!
