Fur!!

​Planning colors is one of my favorite things to do. I get inspiration from colors of real animals, and ideas from going through my library of fur samples (I love adding to my library of fur samples!) I'm a happy camper when I find both a color idea I want to do and fur colors to do it with. This time around, I found not one, or two, but three ideas I want to do.
​

​Idea number one. This is a photo I've had in my studio for years. Good old classic grey wolf. This is what I had in my head when I first started brainstorming new colors.

​And a photo of a similar colored fellow from the side, for reference for tail and handpaw colors.

Above, fur samples from I'm StuffedFur. The grey one is the poetically named  #2013. The long mixed buffy one is "Russian Bear", and the short one is "Super Seal Ivory". I'm imagining using  "Russian Bear" for the longer buffy fur on the neck and tail, and the SS Ivory for the shorter buffy fur for the handpaws and maybe the muzzle and jaw.
​

Idea number two! I can use the mixed grey fur I want to use for the grey wolf to do this black and grey fellow as well. "Black Bear" from I'mStuffedFur should work nicely for the solid black parts. 

Idea number three. Now that I've found a long black fur I like, I want to do something like this black and brown guy too. You can see how these things start to snowball and get out of hand! 

 

Reference picture for tail and handpaws for the brown and black guy. Best reference picture ever.












And, #2001 a mixed brown and black long fur from I"mStuffedFur, sadly discontinued. It is much browner than it looks in this photo. The black one is "Black Bear".

And, the first shipment of fur! Modelled by my daughter and her two friends. You look mahvelous dahlink!
