These are the plans I have for the red fox headdress I'm working on, it's a quick doodle up, it's not a giant fox, the body silhouette is not to scale :p
At the moment he's been reformed and conditioned and any nicks repaired, the only design elements he has on him right now are the red and black feathers. I decided to put the actual pelt project on hold to see if people would rather me design the whole thing, or leave the accessories up to whoever would want him.
For this design I'd like to give him some wool braids attach a few more feathers, as well as some leather braids and a tail cuff with possibly some bones on it. I also thought I might want to give him some quills, but opted out on that one in case someone should want to dance wearing him, that can be a mistake (the quills, ouch!)
I'll get some pictures of the actual pelt later, I'm also going to upload a blank fox headdress template in case someone does want him and wants him designed 100% on their own.
If anyone has any questions on this project, ask.
I am going to offer payment plans for this piece, because I'm thinking if I sell it it'll be at least $120
I would prefer a trade, another pelt to work with plus shipping and a little extra for materials, maybe $20-30?

A payment plan is a great idea, I love the way he looks so far and the bone idea is a great one (but, I'm a huge fan of bones)
And would you like a pelt to work with? I might debate over letting you try your hand with my badger... would you like a picture of him first? I'd like to know your ideas for him before I decide

If you wanted me to make one for you with a provided pelt I could do it for very cheap, If you gave me another pelt for the labor I'd only ask for the shipping @.@
Unless I needed to buy more materials that is, but I'd still do it dirt cheap
You say he was brain tanned? I'd have to look up rehydrating methods to see if it would be any different working with that sort of tan
Also Thank you! I feel very inspired with this hide, as soon as I got him I sorta knew immediately what I wanted to do with him.

Awesome thank you so much! I'm not sure what all I'd want on him o-o but you can see him first and tell me what you think I suppose
Yeah that's what I was told, and given the hide has holes in it on the sides, it would make sense
That's amazing to hear! Eventually I want to do stuff like that as well, but when I get pelts and things I feel too attached to them to sell them lol

Its a poor quality photo, but this is essentially my badger pelt http://www.furaffinity.net/full/9704653/
Oh a template would be looovely ;O; Thank you!
Its repairable? That's great news! Oh I should also mention, he has fur on his.. underside. Its odd, but there are patches where the fur that's missing on the front is actually on the bottom hide side....
It was the guy's apprentice's first try though lol so I mean I'll give him credit for that

I can't repair any on the slips unless you buy a section of another badger I could replace fur with, but the eye I should be able to, assuming the rehydration process is the same with brain tans
There are other options though, You could make him look rugged and I can just patch up some slip areas with different colour leather, there are always options, you just need ideas!

Well, for the underside maybe just put patches of leather over the fur parts? I mean that's my main concern (and if you can fix the eyes that'd be great too but if you can't thats fiiiine) because whenever I've tried to wear him now, the fur sticks through whatever clothes I'm wearing, which is a bother
Is that fur that sticks though covering a large area?
I can always add a liner to him, that's another thing that you could run to the fabric store, pick up a fabric that you like the colour and feel of, and send along with the hide, That way you could save me a little trouble and I know you're getting something YOU want.
If you should want to move ahead at whatever point with this project I'll let you know RIGHT away if I can't work on him and send him back, I wouldn't even try to work on a pelt I don't think is workable, I already made that mistake with a dear piece of mine.

No not really, just small random spots
Oh that's true :O I might just do that, thank you. I might grab you some fur to work with then as well, black and greys I'm assuming?
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you're so reasonable. Hmm where do you live? Note me? I'd need to figure out shipping
I may also send along some stones and feathers and such that would look good on him, and a buffalo tooth

Hide and fur has good prices, if you do buy something from them let me know, they only accept credit card, I don't have one, and I can give you a discount if you pick me up a few small things ;D

Oh wow thank you so much :O I will definitely use this site once I get a job and have more money to spend
Yes I'd love to pick you up some! Given I'll be using the site for working on my own projects instead of waiting every year until the Indian Summer festival and Ren Fairs

Oh yes, I would be very willing to work on something for ya!
I really do like doing the custom stuff, it always makes it more personal for the person I'm working with.
I still have to figure out what exactly I'm doing with this guy, if I'm still going forward with this design or leaving it open to the potential buyer, but so far you seem to be the only one who voiced in serious interests. :D

I like fur. It's a really bad habbit of mine. I have a kangaroo pelt coming in soon, but the fox pelt I want done is a little old red, with no tail. She's a stubby little thing.

The only other pelt that I would have done is a grey but its dorsal cut, not ventral.

Crafting is my bad habit, 88% of the money I get from selling things goes RIGHT back into the craft in materials @.@
It really is my passion, I couldn't be happier with what I do as a hobby.
I can sew it up, that's no issue. I can also just add another tail onto that pelt if you provide one (granted you'd want a tail on it, stub tail is kinda unique), or I can try to find one for you, though I'm sure you know where to look XD

Well whenever you want to start that project just gimme a shout :D
I uploaded a blank fox too, so if you want to add in design elements I'll try my best to design an piece for you!
Possibly, when you get to the point that you'll be ready to send the pelts my way send me a picture, I can take some off labor fees if you'd like.
Did you say you are pretty interested in this one?
Because I won't auction it out and just press ahead with the design if you're seriously looking at it, unless you have any tweeks or special requests.
Let me know

Sadly no, i don't know how to. Someone was selling it as is and I just wanted to take care of it!

Oh I'd love to work on something like that for you! If you need help locating reputable fur dealers let me know, I always see stuff on Taxi.net
It's really a site I should just block... I have poor restraint and I'm always trying to buy something... like a dozen of opossum heads @.@
