I know I'm a little slow on the uptake when it comes to computer stuff,but I think I've managed to make an online album so you can see the ferret costumes. They are made out of t shirt weight knit (was told no fake fur or sweatshirt fleece as it was too hot for Houston) that I painted. The sleeves are half black knit and the body tan colored. I feathered the black paint at the sleeves and leg openings (they wore black sweatpants). The ears ,which took me a few tries to get the size and shape I wanted ,didn't have enough body to stand up so I zigzagged over pipe cleaners(chennille stems) to give them shape. The masks were cut out of black cut away stabilizer I had for embroidery and had an elastic to hold them around the head. I kind of made it up as I went along. The kids loved them...when we went for a visit at Thankgiving they were wearing the costume around the house.
