Alright I know it's a minor thing, but I need some serious help with elastic for my head.
I have a friend who wants to fursuiting skits and stuff with me who is practically begging me to do a moving jaw, but she won't let me to it the way I think is the most secure. She throws a hissyfit everytime I try talking about doing it "the hard way" (3 pieces of elastic like most people seem to do it and sewn to the balaclava) and I don't even know if her "easy way" will hold.
The way she has her elastic is completely different than the ways I've seen others do it. Not only did she glue the elastic to the balaclava, but she put it on in such a way that it seems like it kind of defeats the purpose of having the elastic in the first place. She has one piece of elastic going around the bottom of her head from her chin and one long piece attached to the going over her head. Would this hold? Or even help the jaw to bounce back at all when she furs it? Also is gluing the elastic to the balaclava a good idea at all?
I hate for this to sound like I'm just ranting about my friend but I really want to know if the way she's doing it makes any sense at all. I mean, I already accidentally made my mannequin head an inch too big, I don't need the elastic to make things harder, too.
