Hello! I'm currently working on a hyena fursuit head, and although I like how it looks, I was just curious if anyone could find any flaws for me?

Now, I know the eyes are a slight bit lopsided, but that because they are only sitting right on the foam. It doesn't have a nose yet, and I think the jaw is a little lopsided, but im alright with that.
Anything you see wrong? What do you like about it? Any information will be useful.
Thank you :)

I'm currently making an Ifrit quad suit commissioned by a friend of mine and i had a few questions. Since we are trying to minimize the cost and the uncomfortable heat that using multiple foam layers would cause, I was thinking of ways to make this all work. When I went to sit down on my beanbag, and idea struck. Has anyone ever made a suit with a beanbag like build? Like one layer of foam on the under shirt and an air pocket filled with the little styrofoam beans covered by another layer overtop holding it all in? I don't have any clue if it will work but I thought that I'd ask.

I also would like to ask, would fleece or felt be better for a fur subsitute? Ifrit doesn't have very long fur on his body aside from his head and fur can be very expensive when you can only find good quality fur on rare occasions...

If anyone has any sugestions or tips I'd love to hear please! I've never done a quad before but what I learn from making this one will be used on my 2011 project! Sesshomaru in his demon dog form!

So, I was going to keep this A Secret® 'til I debuted her at FC, but I think these fiber optic whiskers are too cool not to share. I know it's probably been done before, but installing them was a first for me ^_^. And I absolutely adore how they came out. I also wanted to see how bright the white fur was under blacklight.

Sounds stupid, probably is. But this irks me.

I'm trying to use a bit of funfoam on a suit head. The inside of the ears. Slow process, won't do any major work on it until after FC. But the problem still can be looked at as it'll give me time. The funfoam I've found at Micheal's, Jo-Ann's, Wal*Mart, and K-Mart all have the same issue. They have foot-prints on them, torn in corners, holes in the middle, and trashed. I thought about buying the foam in a pack, but as I only need two sheets ($1 total for the two) it seems stupid to spend $5 or more on a pack of sheets I'm not going to need. And most of the time you get one sheet of each color, rather than one pack of one color. I haven't found one pack of one color.

Is there another store to buy funfoam at? Good foam, that isn't trashed beyond salvaging? I don't have a Hobby Lobby in my state, I'm afraid, or I'd look there. The main problem is that the stores listed above are public "everything" stores, and not serious crafting stores. So kids go in there, rip it up, play with it, and leave it on the floor and no one cares. Is there any place better?

Hey all, not very familiar with posting to communities so I hope this is right. I don't know how effective this will be but it's worth a shot.

I'm looking for some large-ish scraps of DF's 4'' Sparkle Fur: http://www.distinctivefabric.com/fabric.php?product=SPRFUR1.

-Yellow: First i'm looking for a piece in yellow that's a good enough size to make a big poofy head tuft from.
-White: Secondly i'm looking for either approx. one square foot (12'') of white as a whole piece or separate smaller pieces that roughly make up that size. It doesn't have to be that size exactly, that's just a rough estimate or how much i'm looking for. More or less is just as welcome!

I'm in the UK and can pay for all costs + shipping with PayPal.

Thank you in advance!
