No. I was actually like, Is that Evelynn in cat form? You aredefinitely hearing Evelynn's voice. And I blieve the word mother is used as a reference to her being a founder of K/DA, so youcan say she is the mother of te pop band. I actually referenced that fact myself when I wrote the final lyrics of Ahri's Best Friends. What's better than a grain of sand? A dear ol' mum, and her loving band!

I just bought your cosplay Ears & Tails book and it's awesome! Clear step by step instructions, with great example pix. Love it! Can't wait to get started! Update 11/8/21 My ears and tail were a HUGE success! Made them for a Halloween party and they were the talk of the party! Pretty easy to make! The only step that was somewhat of a challenge, was trimming the fur after the ear was built. And even then it wasn't that hard. Just go slow and starts with a medium guard for the trimmer. Anyway! Fantaskic tutorial! SO glad I baught the book and patterns. I want to make another set in a different color theme!

[@BathWater0427]

Thank you >:3 I need the medium guard to start slow to shave them, I went a little overboard decided to start a mini business bought a airbrush a ton of faux fur a ton of accessories, and all the other stuff I needed O.o but I don’t know how to use the trimmer or airbrush machine

[@pentadoesarts4879]

As I’m following these instructions, they’ve worked really well until about 4:18 where I realized my wires were poking out of the wrong side. My wires are poking out of the side instead of the bottom which is a little irritating now that I’ve come so far in this process. I still plan to keep the ears and to just cut the wire off and push it into the bottom but I just wanted to bring this to attention in case anyone had that issue as I did. Do make sure your wires are coming out of the bade of your ears when crafting haha😅

[@furthings]

Notes for people making this: if you bend the wire TOO much, it will snap. Happened to me when I put it on the headband. Additionally, the rings you linked to are really hard to pull apart and look kinda big ;-; Putting them on the ears now though, hopefully it looks okay (once I can figure out how to open them)!

[@warriorwolfehh]

it depends on the type of wire you got. different types of wire are harder or softer. some break with more bending than others

[@laurawylee]
