It's has some issues, the motion is pretty erratic but that should fix itself as I add foam and fur. However, the geometry of the tail makes it so the middle wants to twice, so I'll have to fix that.

But I just cut then glued segments of the tail in EVA foam, these keep the segments stiff while they flex at the joints.

Time to make a tail! I started by making a sketch on some paper, transfered it to fabric (cat for scale). I've made it so the tip will be just above the floor.

I am so, SO proud of his he turned out. Despite all the pain and frustration, it was the most fun I've had on a project.
Thank you all for your support and kind words through the progress posts 💙

I just need to do a few final touchups like making accessories, hairspraying the braids and adding stronger magnets in the hair tuft

It took a while since my pattern for these parts was really bad, so I had to add, cut, dart, improvise...but in the end it looks good and it fits, so that's good enough for me!

Progress will be slower because work, but I finished the braids and started working on adding the neck.

I got a cheap pattern on Etsy, and it fit pretty well. I'll add it once the stitching on the back of the head is all done.

I tried adding strip of velcro so I could access the inside. Turns out it wouldn't close all the way because of all the foam I added, so I started adding strips to bridge the gaps.

I lined and added a chin rest that I ended up having to move a bit later on. I then made some crochet braid rings, I'm supper happy with how the pattern turned out. I've made them removable so the braids can be maintained.

I was told to go wild on the foam so I did. I added padding to every spot that touches my face, with removable lining. I might actually have overdone it, but that's a story for a later post.

I saw a tutorial on how to make a mane-like hair and tried to do the same. It's not quite as fluffy as I would have liked it to be, but it looks pretty good when I'm wearing it!

It took me a while to make it because I was so afraid of gluing anything to the fur. Turns out, it's much better and safer to just glue it to the cup of the eyes.

The lip is made of very short velvet from fabric scraps, with the sides folded along the middle to make it cleaner.
I'm very disappointed for the eyelids, the magnets aren't strong enough to secure them in place.

I made the upper hair tuft with two magnets for easy storage and swappable hairstyles. Then, two horn sheaths to hide the locking mechanism. The fur transition isn't the cleanest, but oh well.

I still had quite a bit to go though:
Bottom and upper lips, eyeliner, eyelids, horn sockets, braid ends, back of the head and neck.

I cannot describe how nervous I was. And of course, it went wrong and I overshaved a spot. I tried needle felting some fur back in but it didn't work, so I cut it out and made an inlay which ended up surprisingly clean.

The braids do lose shape when they fluff up, so I'll have to find a way to let me undo, brush, then re-braid them despite the braid rings. The hair and braids are all magnetic.

I started thinking more seriously about the horns, with the EVA foam socket to hide the twist lock. They started way too tall and dipping very low, so I made a second version (last pic).

I cut 5cm strips of fur, sewn them into tubes, braided them together. I thought the fluffiness of the fur might hide the texture of the braid, but it ended up looking good!

My friend @matt-the-mutt.bsky.social and his magical sublimation printer made them for me with PVC mesh.
Problem: my real eyes were visible (3rd pic)
Solution: a second layer of mesh (4th pic)

And then I finally glued most of the fur to the base. The sides and top are still loose, it'll be easier when I secure the horn bases, the ears will be secured in last
