I finally finished my first handpaws!
![lj teaser]( "lj teaser")
It took forever because I'm in school, but now they're done! I started by making my own pattern (draping was an epic fail) and modifying it based on some free glove patterns I found online. Each finger is made of four parts so they take forever to assemble, but they fit amazingly and have great dexterity.
Also, what kind of luck do you guys have with Sculpey claws? I don't feel like it's the most durable of materials. Is it sufficient to glue them to the fingertip with E6000? Many tutorials recommend slitting the fingertip and slipping the claw through, but my fingertips have a lot of seams and I'd hate to make cuts there.
Finally, I'm aware the fur is crap. I bought the cheapest stuff I could find from JoAnnes to play around with, so no need to mention that if you critique ^^
