Description Taking way, way, WAY longer than I anticipated..  It's day 4 of brushing and attaching fur.. Losing sleep.. I've injured my left wrist and forearm in the process.. *whimpers*  I want to continue so badly, but I need functioning hands for school so I've just been having a stare-down with him.  Unfortunately, I'm losing.  Really hope I can finish by the end of April >_<

Sorry if anyone is getting bored of seeing these WIP photos.  It's just for the people interested in the process I take in putting things together!

omygosh!! i seriously could sit all day and look at your stuff!! I've noticed that you say you iron after brushing. I was wondering what do u use to iron?? I've seen various tutorials and I'm just curious what your method is.

Whoa this looks really awesome : O I love the look of the mane and tail and know the pains of doing them XP 
I'm in the same boat and hurt my hand and now can't crochet without pain so I'm just sitting here looking at my projects with sadness lol XD
I hope your hand feels better so you can finally finish this wonderful looking piece~ I'm sure it'll look fantastically amazing once it's done~ ^w^

Thank you so much!  My hand is all better now, but I haven't gotten back to finishing him yet.. got tired of brushing  Glad you like it so far though!  I hope your hand feels better too!  It is the saddest feeling ever when your crochet projects are sitting there, tempting you

Oh my gosh, Aphid, this is the most elegant peice you have ever made, I cannot wait to see it finished. I'm already blown away by the details. (Though feeling really bad you sustained injuries - those wire brushes are dangerous, as is crocheting too long. Crocheting can be like ballet sometimes - a bloody and gruesome process. ;-; )

I don't actually know what this is from.

THAT TAIL. The braids, the fur...oh gosh. So excited for this piece, and you know I never mind your WIPs. They're absolutely FUN, guessing and waiting and watching. It's so neat to see your progress take shape - oftentimes over a short time, too! - and then see the final product you've worked so hard toward.

Thanks so much!  It isn't really a specific character for once.  I feel all better now, but I'm still tired of brushing.. so haven't gotten around to finishing him yet

I'm glad you're enjoying the WIP pictures!

aphid777 In reply to LunasCrafts [2014-04-23 23:50:22 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!  I just use acrylic yarn

LunasCrafts In reply to aphid777 [2014-04-24 17:47:00 +0000 UTC]

I also use acrylics but never dared to brush yarn longer than maybe 1.5", afraid that most of it would just end up in the brush. Didn't think you could make it so long and cool looking!

aphid777 In reply to LunasCrafts [2014-04-24 19:35:51 +0000 UTC]

Oh yeah, it definitely wastes a lot of yarn  I think I lose 50% or more after brushing it out.. >_<  Hard work and not a lot of fur

Glad someone is enjoying them!  Yes, I'm brushing and ironing them and then tying them on.  It's getting pretty tedious

similar things have happened to me and then I get reminded I have work, but with injuries it's better to take it easy than be unable to do something you love. wrist and hand injuries are trickier in that way.
