So. I'm embarking on my new suit today! Friends and I are getting together and going to have a fursuit making party! Yay!! I digress. I doubt I'll get to it today (I'd be floored if I can even get the foam done today) but I'm wondering about eyes.
I've decided I'm probably going to go with a mostly mesh material (probably buckram) but was wondering what you guys use/would recommend that gives the best vision/ventilation and what do you use to color the material? I've got some buckram but the spaces seem really tiny and maybe it'd be better once it's colored but it doesn't look like you'd be able to see through it all that great.
Also, it seems a simple question but .... eyebrows? Felt or fur or something else? I need white eyebrows on black fur and not sure what would be the best material to use for that. They're going to be thinner feminine eyebrows, and the black fur is going to be very short, like beaver pile if that makes any difference.
I appreciate any opinions on this matter! :)
