I made a black lion cowl!
(lemmy.world)
I patterned it all from scratch, too!
Sewn both by hand & machine. Has a velcro closure on the front of the neck! Also super light, so your head & neck won't hurt while wearing it (I'm very proud of that)! I lined the mouth with soft fleece and the inside of the head with satin. It's really comfortable!
It's not a mask, so you can't see out of it if you pull it over your face!! It's meant to be worn more like a hood.
If you have any questions about how it was made, feel free to ask!
Black fur is really difficult to photograph.. it looks better in-person!
I love it! I like how it's an intimidating look until you see the big kitten eyes lol
I made a more "realistic" version in my v1.0 iteration, but I really do prefer the bigger, more friendly eyes!
It's really hard to get something like this not looking like bad taxidermy, and I really enjoy the slightly cartoony (but not in a goofy way) eyes! I can imagine this being amazing to wear for someone playing a barbarian in D&D or LARPing.
I actually had things like LARP & ren faires pop into my head when I was thinking about what kind of goober besides me would like this!
Thank you! It's definitely a difficult balance to have creatures look good without looking too uncanny.
