I wonder at her reasons for posting pelts she has simply bought from ebay other than to still up drama. Skins she has mounted is another thing, as having done some taxidermy myself it takes effort and some artistry.
I hope this last bit is not too OT but I noticed something on her fursuit page, and I have seen it before on other fursuits and on Fur Suit Reviews. Why is it that when painting or colouring in the iris and pupil of a eye so often makers do not using something like a compass, or trace something small and round to get a reasonably even circle.

I just don't get how you can do all the sewing and then get to the eyes, which are what really bring a suit to life and say well, fuck it, I'll just freehand this and hope it is not just a blobby mess.
I mean surely even if you other construction skills will still in the learning stage you would still notice mishappen, non matching eyes and think it was your duty to redo it so at least the iris and pupil shapes matched.
Unless these characters all have iris colobomas...
