Been working on a new production mold for making the ultimate (and somewhat creepy) fursuit gag accessory... magnetic fursuit nipples*! They'll attach with magnets so as to not require any form of suit altering, easy removal and swapping with friends, perfect for Fursuit Friday on Instagram. Four designs to choose from with choice of custom seperatly colored nipple and areola.

Last week I finished the sculpting and first run molds for making the silicone masters. Just need to cast one more of each mold and I'm ready to start pouring the production casts.

*Please note: These are male nipples as uhh.. then it's not nudity just hilarious fun..

Here's the fruits of my labor over last week's crafting project. Ended up making a total of twenty sets of latex paw pads in various spring colors!

Choose either pink, orange, yellow, green, blue or violet for just $12 a set of 12 pads on felt backing. These are ready to be attached to any set of paws by simply gluing with e6000.

Just message me with the color you'd like along with your email and I'll send you an invoice to pay over PayPal. Shipping is about $3 with combined shipping available on multiple set orders.

Measurements by width and length for the finger pads are .75" x 1.25" and palm pads measure 3.5" x 2.5". Heights are .25" at the lowest to .375" at the highest points.

Pads are made from high quality RD-407 casting latex with the coloring solid through out the cast so the color will not wear away.

Any questions or comments please feel free to ask.

Completed hand hooves with liners and padding inserted.

I'm happy with how these turned out. Going to tweak the pattern a bit for the next set but overall they look nice, fit well and provide more dexterity than I expected. From making the pattern to finishing, including the liners and sewn in pillow padding, was about eight hours of time invested. With some streamlining of methods and an already made finalized pattern these will take about four hours to make.

Up next a couple fur hoods with complex designs will be made.

Finishing up the felt liners with padding for the hoof paws. Didn't need to add much poly-fil to the built in pillow section as the four layers of heavy felt bulked out the shape well.

[furglow]

Finished the bulk of sewing work on the hand hooves. Now on to making the liner with built in padding to give the hooves their shape.

[furglow]

Started the sewing on the hand hooves. Double straight stitched and zip-zag stitched the vinyl to the fur. Then combed out the pile out of the stitching.

Next going to hand bast the sections together and machine sew with a couple straight stitch runs. Then it's on to making some foam padding for each hoof.

[furglow]

Pinned the hoofs to the fur in preparation for machine sewing and hand basting that follows.

[furglow]

Progress on a first draft pair of hand hooves continues. Shaved down all the brown fur to 3/4", cut out the parts and did some hemming yesterday.

[furglow]

Outlined the hand hoof pattern on to the vinyl and luxury shag brown fur fabrics. Tomorrow I'm going to shave the palm sides down to 3/4" on the two fur pieces and then cut everything out.

[furglow]

Started a new pattern of something you don't see too much of handhooves!

Hoof areas are to be made of vinyl with carved foam underneath to provide shape. The hoof sections will be sewn on to fur fabric for the main hand part. Liner and elastic cuff to be added for comfort and fit.

[furglow]

Finished up the fur hood. Added the liner then hand hemmed the edges and secured the trimmings with a couple runs through the sewing machine and volia it's done!

[furglow]

A new commissioned hood design to match the commissioner's fursona. Have work left to do on the liner and inside hems but as you can see it's coming along nicely.

New batch of claws, four sets worth in one pour! I used good amount more pearlescent spring green pigment than the previous sets. Makes a nice dark green shiny look.

[furglow]

Made a couple new sets using Pearl Ex pigment of the spring green shade to color the polyester resin casted claws. They turned out shiny but could be shiny-er with more added. I'll try that on the next batch.

[furglow]

Finished the sewing on a set of commissioned paws for Ogre. Just have some final shaving to do and then it's back to completing the functional claws.

[furglow]

Continuing progress of a commissioned set of paws for Ogre. Basted the fingers to the palm pieces and ran them through the machine a couple times. Combed out the fur from the stitches and removed the basting.

I need to take a comparison pic of my hand overtop of these to show just how large Ogre's hands are. To make the pattern I had to upscale most of it a good 50%!
