Question for the #fursuit builders out there — how would you articulate the pedipalps of a peacock spider? I explain the problem a little more in this post: https://glowingskull.tumblr.com/post/175664173748/regarding-jaws

Today's weather is inappropriate, so I took off my head.

I have acquired a 3d printer. This will probably increase the complexity of future costume work.

So http://www.equineeyes.co.uk/ isn't a #fursuit and isn't available for sale, but its use of a #StereoPi is exactly what I'm aiming for with my current work. If only I can get my video to output correctly!

A decent start at a Blacksleeve #Servicer #cosplay from #TerraIgnota.

Last month: I buy a 3-month supply of an OTC drug
Today: My pharmacy offers me a discount on the same drug if I buy more _right now_

Ugh.

Today we're going for more of a saltwater smell, due to a change in dyes.

As a side effect of keeping a washtub of clothing dye at 200F on my stove for hours, my house now smells like warmed dish soap.

And here's the final post of my #maratus volans head work: The pictures of the finished #spider #fursuit heads. https://irradiate.space/skulls/maratus/

This technique is relatively sane, and requires:
- woodworking tools
- copious quantities of superglue
- putting flammable objects in the oven
- fire gloves
- lots of ventilation and fume/dust control

This #crafting process for #fursuit eyes results in convex plexiglass lenses with a metallic exterior, well-suited to see through, of customizable shape and curvature.

For all you #fursuit makers out there, here's how I make shiny eyes for my spider heads: https://irradiate.space/skulls/maratus/lenses/

Skipping the fancy stuff for Halloween today; doing a very plain #Utopian costume from #TerraIgnota:

Found one, but it's doing weird stuff with rotation and scaling (and tiling the input stream!?) but that's probably (hopefully) configurable.
