No they are not done YET.. lol.. kinda stuck here for the moment.. bout ready to look for the good old elmers glue.. guess I'll stitch the front legs back together where I had them stitched.. and then find the glue to try and hold this leg section in place so I can stitch the legs to it's face.. I don't know if it makes a difference or not what size person you're making them for.
I have some lining material to put some fabric inside but I don't want any helmet type cap.. so that should be fun to figure how to fashion up too.. so iffen anyone can add any comments about making them i'd sure like to hear from someone.
This one is for a 5 year old kid.. with a big head.. that's good.. anyway I'm going to get some dk green rit dye a little later hopefully at the 2 horse town supermarket.. hope they got it as I went to about 5 stores in another town searching for it yesterday.. I am curious to see how one would look green and anyway want a blue one for the kid and a dk green flesh side one for the dad.. these coyotes have some pellet holes and I couldn't seem to totally get out all the blood stain so the color just makes em look lots better to me. I had to crack up researching these style hats on the net as lots of folks have taken up the pic of the one from cabellas and it's given them plenty to talk about.. this boy I'm making this blue one heres parents just got divorced and I understand the mom's not all that into 'skin things' but the kid and his dad dig them.. lol. I'm sure she will appreciate the artificial color.. doesn't quite look so disgusting i dont think as a real live dead animal skin might appear to peta type folks.. oh the poor animal! This kid's already got the attitude look to him.. Hope to get these two hats done by this weekend for the big fishing event that the dad and son are attending.. lol.. it was the kid that wanted the hats I learned and not the dad.. lol.. I tanned a fox for the dad and the kid kept wanting to use the fox fur for a hat so the dad said.. nah, I'll get some coyotes for us and have some hats made. lol..
kind of a sad story but kinda cute too.. I learned it was the kids idea about the hats when I commented to his dad that I thought it was a real nice gesture that he'd have hats made for the both of them! that's when he told me it was the boys idea. Cool.. lol.
Least some little ones thinks wearing the skins is COOL.. some things just don't change do they?
