Taking on a challenge [TEF HOODIE]

StalkerDino's picture

Task: Create a hoodie based on the TEF pelt design "Fan"

Inspired by: TEFCommunity user Haru (http://endlessforest.org/community/haru) and her idea for a TEF pelted hoodie (topic found here: http://endlessforest.org/community/spontaneous-idea ).

Details: Haru has given me (StalkerDino) permission to attempt at making the Fan hoodie based on her idea on TEF pelted hoodies. I have taken up the challenge given to slow income of requests and my own interest in this idea and the game The Endless Forest. I hope to find this project fun and entertaining for myself to give me something to do and, in the end, something fashionable and epic to wear.

Updates:
I have decided (given I have the materials and time) that I shall add small antlers (the size of a pronghorn's) as well as ears.

Thus I have finished! After two long nights of endless sewing, pricking fingers and bending over on a bad back, the challenge to create this Fan pelted hoodie has been completed. The hoodie is safe, functional as protection from any weather it encounters (including cold winter storms. The hoodie has a white fleece in-lining in the body and chest of the hoodie), epically fashionable, and it is machine washable! It also has little pockets and a zipper down the front for easy removal.

Pictures of the process and of the final product will be posted on here as well as on dA. Action shots of myself as well as a few friends wearing the fully functional hoodie will be taken.

Starting date: 10/4/11 (all materials supplied)

Ending date: 10/6/11

Results: Pictures will be posted 10/7/11 & 10/8/11 on dA and here on the TEFCommunity


(original design idea by Haru) the Fan pelt design is the very bottom one.

I haven't gotten pictures of the Masquerade yet, but I have got pictures of myself voting for Okapi at the Bronx Zoo while wearing the TEF Hoodie. I'm thinking about making a new topic somewhere in Photobucket or dA about all the places I will go with this hoodie, entitled something like "Where is that deer now?"
... maybe not. But I have gone a few places already. A masquerade and a zoo. And I have gotten a lot of compliments XD
Going to Six Flags this weekend with the hoodie for Frightfest. And I am making a bird mask like the Magpie, Peacock, etc. Only its gold with brown feathers to match the hoodie. I'm going to post pictures when it is done.

Stay tuned for more!!
