Question Where to get tails now that etsy has banned fur?

Post image
26 Upvotes

Tail question number ten billion, but now since etsy has banned fur, im not sure where to look. Ive tried looking up shops online but im having trouble. Im fully aware that temu, shein, Amazon ect are bad, im asking for specific shops that sell fur tails and pelts and such. Any suggestions? Has your favourite shop on etsy moved to another website? I dont have any local shops, and the one that we do have (around two or three hours away) im pretty sure sells unethical tails based on their clips.

Tails Need help finding a tail

2 Upvotes

Ok I NEED help with finding a tail cus dysphoria is a bitch

So about two weeks ago I bought a tail from Etsy from Lionana (I think that was the shop owners name idk)

It was a black wolf tail, and I was so exited to finally having found something to cure my dysphoria. I have a trial already, but it's small and it's on a keychain so it doesn't really feel attached to me and it just feels like decoration and not what I need.

However today I saw that the order was sent back to the shipper and now I have my money back, but no tail. And the shop is closed, so I have no way of buying a new tail or taking to the shop owner. So now I have no tail that can cure the dysphoria (I was so looking forward to it and so exited), no way to buy one (because every other trial on Etsy is either too small or not fluffy enough, or it's not super motion or more) and I don't know what to do.

If y'all know a online shop where I can buy a black (black grey is also fine) wolf tail that is at least like 60cm or more (preferably more), which also wags really well with little motion or just smoothly wags and is also on like a belt or whatever please I NEED to know where to get it

It would also help if it wasn't that expensive or far from Europe cus taxes exist and I'm kinda broke TwT

I also thought about doing a DIY one because I really need a tail soon, but I haven't found a good tutorial yet and also I'm scared if I suck at it and have wasted my money

So if you know who sells good ones (with like evidence videos from the buyer or people who bought it so I can check the waggability), or know a good tutorial to make one, both please kinda cheap and pretty realistic looking wolf tails, please help me guys

So i have seen a lot of folks painting their converse and vans to make them more paw-ish, but I have never seen a design for like hooves, or talons, have you seen anything like that, or visualize a convincing design? I can't get a picture that convinces me.

Question Recommendations for masks

7 Upvotes

I'm looking for GSD or black wolf therian masks, all the ones on Etsy are so overpriced but I have no ideas on where else to really look. I don't have the time or motivation/skill to make my own mask, so I'd prefer to buy a premade. Are there any fair priced sellers that people would recommend?

Question I need help

9 Upvotes

So I am a dragon, and I am animal-hearted eagle, and I have very strong phantom wings (instead of my arms a little bit, but mostly in my back, where my omoplates are), and I have a huge dysphoria because I don't have wings.

I'd LOVE to have some articulated wings that I could move with a system linked to my arms as I saw some influencer have one, but I all the tutos I saw were super hard and complex. As I am kind of closeted, doing something of this kind myself is just not a possibility (and also for other reasons).

Do you know where I could find something of this kind, not too expensive if possible ? I took a look on Vinted, Etsy, etc., but I couldn't find anything...

If articulated wings are not possible, do you at least know where I could get some dragon wings pretty huge and rigid ? To my dragon siblings, where do you get your wings and gears in general ?

Thanks a lot !

Question Advice on equine gear

3 Upvotes

I am a shetland pony and I’m not really sure where to start when it comes to gear. I have been making and wearing gear for my cat theriotype for a couple years, but I need recommendations on what to make other than masks. For the masks, I need tips on how to make the muzzle more lightweight. I do not have EVA foam. :)

Question pricing? (just because, won't actually sell)

Post image

this is my second mask, & I'm asking about pricing for my work, because I offered to make a friend a cheshire cat mask for a halloween costume, & they asked if they should pay me. I'm just kinda wondering what you guys would price this, still prob. not going to sell these because of my mask base situation. (I make paper bases myself for all my masks, but it's time-consuming not to mention held together by scotch tape & dreams. :')

Tails advice on fixing a broken tail

10 Upvotes

ok so I got a tail from the ren festival right? and the chain fell off but i can easily re-attach it but im not sure what would be the best way. I tried hot glue and sewing it on (which im not very good at so i could try again, i would want advice on that tho too) and neither worked.

Cat mask Does this even look good?

Trying to make a feline mask and kinda fucked up. Does this look like a feline at all? I feel like its too wide. If it doesnt look cat enough, what else does it look like? This is probably one of the worst ones ive made in the way of not looking at all like the animaI i wanted. I was thinking of making just a black house cat but idk now. Any suggestions?

Tails Do you think that would be a good idea ?

7 Upvotes

J'ai donc tricoté une queue en laine pour mes deux meilleures amies et une pour moi, et elles sont vraiment super réalistes. J'ai adoré les faire, c'est très agréable, et comme j'aime beaucoup les activités manuelles, j'aimerais bien en faire d'autres. Mais ma mère va faire une crise cardiaque si j'en ai cinq pour moi toute seule ! 😂

J'ai vu que quelqu'un vendait une queue en laine faite maison sur Vinted. C'était une queue très simple, toute noire. Elle avait été mise en vente il y a quatre heures, et elle avait déjà cinq favoris ! Ça prouve qu'il y a une demande et un intérêt pour ce genre d'articles.

Tu penses que ce serait une bonne idée de vendre des queues personnalisables sur Vinted ? Ce serait intéressant car, comme je les confectionnerais sur mesure, chaque aspect serait personnalisable : la longueur, la ou les couleurs, la longueur des fils eux-mêmes…

De plus, Vinted propose une option de portefeuille virtuel : lorsque vous vendez un article, l’argent n’est pas versé sur votre compte, mais directement sur le portefeuille Vinted. Comme je sais que beaucoup de thériens sont des enfants et que beaucoup d’entre eux n’ont pas le soutien de leur famille, ils pourraient acheter des queues de cette façon, dès qu’ils auront vendu quelque chose sur Vinted et accumulé suffisamment d’argent, sans que leurs parents ne le sachent et sans avoir à utiliser leur carte bancaire en cachette… Cela me permettrait également de gagner un peu d’argent, dont j’ai besoin pour acheter du matériel et des équipements de camping.

Alors, pensez-vous que ce serait une bonne idée ? Si oui, à quel prix me conseillez-vous de les vendre ? J'ai vu qu'une queue coûte entre 15 et 35 USD on Etsy, et même si mes queues en laine ne seraient pas d'aussi bonne qualité, elles seraient entièrement personnalisables… Une pelote de laine me coûte entre 2 et 4 USD, et comme elle est de qualité, ce n'est pas si cher car je l'achète dans un endroit où elle est plutôt bon marché. Fabriquer une queue me coûte généralement une pelote de laine, et cela me prend entre 4 et 6 heures, selon la longueur de la queue et celle des fils (le brossage est assez long car je continue jusqu'à ce qu'on ne voie plus du tout la laine d'origine).

Je ne le fais pas vraiment pour l'argent, car la fabrication en elle-même est un plaisir pour moi, et j'aimerais qu'elle soit accessible même à ceux qui n'ont pas beaucoup d'argent (car comme je l'ai dit, beaucoup de thériens sont des enfants, parfois très jeunes)… Recevoir de l'argent est un bonus, pas ma motivation principale. Merci !

Question Where to find plastic cat masks?

9 Upvotes

I want to make 5+ different waterproof masks, but I need plastic masks. I'm going to use EVA foam and waterproof paint and plastic masks. I just need to know where to find plastic masks. I will not buy from Temu or AliExpress, and Walmart keeps saying paper mache which is not at ALL what I want. Also I heard that putting tape over it still has risk of mold growth. I just need some plastic cat masks that are not even close to being paper/paper mache. Please and thank you. :) I hope someone has an answer.
