Description I've been wanting to make one of these guys forever! Such a wonderful mixture of different artistic skills are needed to make one, I really enjoyed the challenge of it!

This is my little snow leopard cub, she is semi posable, I say semi because she really doesn't have long enough legs to move in significant poses, although all four legs move independantly as well as head and tail. 12 inches long nose to tail tip. She's so cute I just want to kiss her little furry feets! ^_^;

Super sculpy, wire armature,tin foil, fauz fur, fabric paint, swarovski crystals, marbles (eyes), acrylic paint, feather ruff.

I left a large section of my bedroom by the ceiling white with the intention of finding a fun border but I never did so I actually used a big sponge and dabbed white paint to meld the blue and white together, it looks like clouds! ^_^ The other bedroom is actually my son's now, he's only 7 months old though so for now at least i have control over the wall paint lol

Thanks! She is pretty soft, I used a t shirt paint base and hand painted on the fur, really had to brush it through with a wire pet brush afterwards to keep it from being "hard and clumpy"

A friend told me a trick: turn it face down and slowly cut it through with a fabric knife (I'll be trying it with an exacto) Hopefully that goes much better!

lilwyverngirl In reply to Eviecats [2011-10-17 21:23:00 +0000 UTC]

Yes! The lady at the fabric store told me the same thing when she cut my faux fur fabric for me. She folded it inside out and it cut cleaner and showed what happens if you try to cut the fur-side up. It does make a huge difference D:

i have a tip for cutting faux fur

turn it on so the fur is facing down on the floor/table/etc and instead of using scissors, use a craft knife just to cut the underside part. its takes a little more time, and it does still shed a little, but so much less than cutting it like normal fabric.

Oh my GOD, she is so cute! I've never seen the combination of clay and fur in this way....where'd you get the idea? (I probably live under a rock and just never knew anyone who did this, but please humor me!)

Eviecats In reply to Kirazi [2011-10-13 12:48:43 +0000 UTC]

There are a couple of really well loved artists on the site who do them, they are pretty few and far between. ^_^ It's an old idea though, I had a 70's monkey who held a banana who was like this (only plastic not clay) growing up! I'm very glad you like it though, I hope to do more it was a really fun trial and error challenge!

I don't have any cash, but is there any way to entice you into a trade for some bead work?

Eviecats In reply to MistingWolf [2011-10-13 15:49:42 +0000 UTC]

Hmm I'm not sure, I thought about it all night, the thing is I "might" already have a buyer. I would however be willing to do one for a trade of whatever critter you'd like, I am not planning to openly offer these for art trades, so much time goes into them but you made me such a lovely birthday gift and I love your beadwork so I'd be willing to make you a small one!

MistingWolf In reply to Eviecats [2011-10-14 23:09:03 +0000 UTC]

I am glad you got yourself a buyer for it. :}

Thanks so much for your compliments! And thank you for the opportunity! I gladly take it. ^_^ Just let me know what you'd like in return.

Eviecats In reply to MistingWolf [2011-10-17 20:56:58 +0000 UTC]

Maybe a book marker with Lazarus on it? Let me know if that's doable, I know there are size/detail restrictions with beading Also I think my buyer is backing out... but I'm still happy to make you a critter of your choice I'm sure i can list this gal on Etsy and sell it easily just let me know after you think about it.

MistingWolf In reply to Eviecats [2011-10-18 00:45:56 +0000 UTC]

Oh, if I get a choice in critter, could I pretty please have a maned wolf?

I'm sure I could do a book mark. If you saw my dragon wristband (which is now a bookmark because of damage. x.x) that's about the size and detail I could do. I didn't get a real picture of it, but here is the specs: [link] I MIGHT even be able to do a shaped one, if that's of interest. (such as this shaped item: [link] ]

Eviecats In reply to MistingWolf [2011-10-18 02:20:02 +0000 UTC]

Oooooh maned wolf!!! I'm really excited now! I do have a commission of two tigers though for this coming week so it might get pushed behind them so now rush on your half but I would love a shaped item of Lazarus, you can go to town on it, whatever floats your boat! If you need a filler or central item to attatch him to maybe a blue flame or blue smoke curls? You know me, if it's blue I'm happy!

MistingWolf In reply to Eviecats [2011-10-18 02:50:07 +0000 UTC]

No rush on your end, either. I have this one small project to finish up first and then I'll design Lazarus for you. We'll see how creative I can get. ^___^

MistingWolf In reply to Eviecats [2011-10-18 23:07:09 +0000 UTC]

Just normal markings is fine. My only pet peeve when people portray maned wolves is the tail - how they just tip the white like a fox when more often than not, 1/2 - 3/4 of the tail is white. Example: [link]

Ooh yes, I see! I think the challenge for me will be the legs, so far my plushes have been a bit fat, hiding the legs lol, I'll take extra care with the wiring in yours ^_^
