Wild Canine Paw Slippers / Sock Paws

WHEW.  Now, this was quite an experiment.

I've long admired the "sock paw" style of paw slippers that some costumers and fursuiters make.  It's a sleek, comfy style. I've been wanting some resembling coyote paws for a while.

I finally got around to trying it out myself!  So this was pretty experimental.  A project like this can be pretty challenging when you're lacking a lot of stuff that would make it easier.

So, these feature:
* Foam toes carved by hand
* Hand-sculpted Sculpey claws
* Lightly stuffed vinyl pawpads for a squishy, 3D feel that is still comfortable to walk on
* Half-inch foam soles.  A little extra padding for a smooth shape and comfort of walking, but without adding bulk.
* All hand-sewn except for where they were glued instead.  That included hand-appliqued pawpads.
* White DF fur shaved with terrible, tiny, underpowered clippers.  Also scissor-trimmed. 
* White DF fur colored tan with acrylic! Another challenging part.  The grey fur I actually got at a Walmart probably close to ten years ago.

A lot of time and effort went into these.  For a first try, I think they came out okay.  They're comfortable, warm, and very mobile.  I put a short video on Youtube to demonstrate their flexibility (www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlMj7H…)

But I won't be attempting a project this major again for a while, haha.
