Opal Mutt Updates

If anyone is interested in an older suit of mine, i'm deciding to sell this ibizan hound girl! My move is happening faster than I anticipated and i'd prefer not to lug her across this country🥲 She's in great condition, looks the same as the day I sold her back in 2022. comes just the head and tail and extra furs. Asking for the original price of $1500+shipping. I charge more than double now so it's a great chance to join the family for cheaper! Dm @opalmutt if interested I also have some faux fur left that I need to get rid of. I just lowered the prices on everything and I can ship this week! Click here for pics/info

we got approved for the studio loft apartment!!!🎉

Did you know that sheep have naturally long tails? Docking is common practice in the farming industry because nub tails are cleaner and less risk of disease. They look like puppies 😭💞 I've never seen a sheep fursuit with a natural tail so maybe i'm the first?!

SHEEP FRIEND IS FINISHED! Oh my gosh believe it or not but this was the most difficult, tiresome and expensive premade project i've ever worked on but I got it done😭🎉🐏 boy howdy I spent hundreds of dollars on the sherpa and curly furs alone. ow. but it was to fun to play with different textures and I think they made this guy so unique! Big thank you to TheSleepyStag and Astarlitevening for helping to make this guy so dang cute!💐 This friend is open for offers until Friday night! Click here for the offer form. Links for the information document and photo gallery can be found here as well.

It's hard for me not to share details because i'm super excited and anxious. but it's a GORGEOUS lofted studio apartment with concrete floors, metal stairs, very high ceiling with exposed pipes. open kitchen with a long bar top. cute upstairs area to nest in and look over everything. It's very modern with a slight industrial feel. the management have been super communicative and the chances of being approved are super high just waiting for the official email aaa🤞😭

oh boy lots going on, things are moving very fast. I'm eagerly waiting to hear back about an apartment that my partner and I applied for. I'm doing the very last final touches on sheepie 🐏 and then i'll throw an offer form up tonight

they're so baby

All finished! i'm so happy with how this bodysuit turned out! It was my first time doing little wings on a body and I love how they turned out. Always happy to do fullsuit upgrades for returning clients🤩

adding the zipper pull makes me so happy

putting together a more official plan and timeline for moving, will be moving mid-march through early may. I've already started packing. My priority is work, so all supplies will be packed last and unpacked first. I can't afford to take much time off so i'm going to keep chugging every moment I get🫡 outside of work my car needs to be 100% ready to drive across the country so i'm dealing with a bunch of car maintenance stuff atm AND annual taxes will be due in between all this craziness. I just started and I already have chest pain from moving stress yippee!✨🌈 I'm about to finish a bodysuit commission and i'm going to try and finish sheepie premade asap so I can put the money towards moving. I can do this!

making a little bit more progress on this guy. looking forward to adding the long curly fur but i'm unsure if I still want to add a neck poof or not (mainly for more volume in the front) i'll see how poofy the curly fur is by itself first.

sheep hooves🐏 made decent progress with this guy and got their horns installed so maybe everything will be okay. (at least until there is 1 minor inconvenience and I burst into flames again)

forgot to post these beans here. my paw pads keep getting bigger every suit😂 but they're starting to look more like how I draw paw pads in furry art. i'm working really hard to get this bodysuit completed

😵Have you ever been so frustrated with a project because everything is going wrong and nothing is turning out how you envisioned it? and you want to just rage quit and destroy everything? That's how I feel with my sheepie premade😭 it was supposed to be done & sold like Nov? so i'm really behind schedule. I'm still chugging along with him working overtime but keep hitting a road block. I'm working on the hooves right now to take a break from the head. I will be looking for a buyer soon probably for just the partial rather than the custom fit fullsuit I originally wanted to make. I still want to make a big plush body down the road, if buyer is interested in coming back for upgrades. I just need to move this guy out of my studio and focus on other projects and moving. I'm really glad he is still turning out okay and folks seem to like it. I have a love/hate relationship with him because he is beautiful but it's been one of my most difficult and frustrating projects

My big news is that i'm moving out of my parent's house and across the country to the pacific northwest US! From the very first time I visited many years ago I was instantly mesmerized. Each time I continue to visit I always feel so inspired, free to be myself, artistically flourishing and healthy. While the south will always have a part of my heart, living here is holding me back and quite frankly, becoming a scary place for me to exist in. This move will be no easy feat, but i'm working super hard to make my dreams possible 🍄🌲🧚✨ I'm looking forward to this new chapter of my life! I'm going to be working A LOTT of overtime. Tips are super duper appreciated!!
