#im not gonna paint the boxed ones i got #i got secondhand ones on ebay to fuck around with before i start like #you know #something i wanna try after i test out custom painting calico critters is like #reflocking them? #theyre fuzzy cause theyre flocked so i wonder if i could like #weather their original flocking away and replace it w my own? #id need yarn for that. to make the flocking. but i think itd be fun to try #i could also try that to like. repair some of my secondhand guys teehee #i bet the cashier thought i was getting a christmas gift for a kid. NOPE. fennel project #🕷❣ #i wanna make jonesy and momo and vans. whch is why i was thinking abt the flocking #like it would be . easier maybe to make a brown base for a cat calico critter w flocking #or well maybe not easier but like. #like how in doll customs its better to start with a skin tone close to your characters skin tone even if its not exact #ykwim #i dont think there are any brown calico critter cats #making my calico critters bald. #the other thing is attaching them im very slapdash so like #delicate tasks dont really suit me :( i dont wanna mess up bc i used too much glue or whatever #and i wanna make custom clothes OBVIOUSLY #i know doll clothes are harder to make but its fine #i like hand sewing and i am. so sick of trying to sew through denim thats been my only sewing project this year #it HURTS #i shoudl just swallow my pride and try and figure out ren's hand me down sewing machine lol #hm. wondering abt custom eyes. maybe i could do the dollightful trick w paper + resin #ren likes resin painting im sure they wont mind if i use A Tiny Bit
