Vid, since folks were currious. Shredwoof is built over an actual helmet. USASA approved for racing. 😁 Goggles were a trick to modify. #FursuitFriday #snowboarding

Trimming the fur allowance is possibly the greatest 'trick' I was ever shown. A lil prep work = big rewards.

PSA for other creatives out there pushing fur under machinery day in day out. After 25 years of building fursuits, left section of my elbow has no gap remaining. Not fixable, but doing physio will help it. Also, I get to start work again! Bones healed! #FursuitFriday

Was it worth 17k$? Absolutely yes, to one person. 🍾💯 Why be salty if someone places a higher value on art than you? That's entirely how art is valued, by the individual.

Melting worked better than cutting. Doesn't unravel when brushed, minimal fur actually lost, kinda gently melted roots together! Hiden venting achieved. Coffee break earned! 🤗

I am taking vacation. As an artist, THIS IS THE HARDEST THING TO DO. Like, holy fuck, you dont know what it's like to NEVER clock off work. Ever. All day every day I think of what projects I have on the go, and where my next one might come from. Job security but 24/7 stress.

Some new tech for #fursuitfriday ! Gluing a giant ear? Coat in hotglue, let cool, place fur, steam and brush! The finish is so smooth! solid bond to the foam, also great for adjusting things and fiddling with seams. Best w/short fur. I give you: 💦🔥 #steamfitted #fursuits 🔥💦

Hi! 🤗 I'm Steven, I'm Arend, a Canadian in Denver making suits since '98. Famous for innovation, ie 1st using Balavlavas, mesh eyes, washable heads. I like to try new stuff, working on fursuit aircon atm, and happily teach what I learn around the world. #SmallMakerSunday

Truth: Fursuits aren't required to express your furry side, but I am so happy they exist. A partial poodle, your 1st home built hound, or a fancy comission. It's all good.

Our lil house, with 4.6kw solar, is enough that we are negative carbon. Total cost per KW is cheaper than any other source, and we own this array. This should be mandatory on every single roof. We had to FIGHT @xcelenergy to get it. Defund big oil, defund big energy.

Cleaning a delicate fursuit head? (he has much electro) Spray with foam inside and out, work fur/liner with damp white cloth, fan dry, vacuum, brush (slicker, nylon, and mini detail) 6yrs old, still looks and smells new. :D #furfest #fursuit care

Delivering a suit to a con is stress, but seeing that huge smile, big wide eyes, rendering someone totally speechless at the big reveal... that's the ultimate measure of success. It's great being a fursuit builder, but the feels when you just crush it 😊💙

Fursuit care is more than just letting them dry. I spend about 2hrs taking care of pistachio after an event. What he means to be cant be put into words, I want to keep him tip-top for as many years as possible. 15-20years of fun in a fursuit is possible! Pistachio is 6 now 💙
