I revised the 3 tutorials on using heat to treat faux fur, plus the Fursuit Washing and Care tutorial with a new source I found & cited, on the properties of faux fur. More info & link to the article here: https://twitter.com/RaisedbyDogs/status/948693627043115009

I also answered two tumblr asks that i plan to link to the tutorials page soon, check them out here: This one on the topic of Foam showing through fur: http://matrices.tumblr.com/post/169238655593/hi-matrices-how-does-one-solve-the-issue-of-the

I'm sure all smaller YouTubers are getting the axe notice today, too... My heart goes out to you as well!! I have 1.3 million views across my channel, & over 5,600 subscribers, but I only got a little over half of the watch hours they now suddenly require (My # is at 2130 watch hours) somehow I gotta get 2000 more in 30 days.

Y'all gunna have to forgive me, but I'd love if you check out my collection of video tutorials this month, and maybe watch some a few extra times, so I can get the watch hours up to keep getting revenue from Youtube ads. https://www.youtube.com/user/MatricesOddity

To put it in other words: I still meet all other criteria for earning on Youtube, except for their new "play hours" requirement at the moment. So it means that people watching my tutorials don't play them over and over again (taught em too well I guess!!) Watch them again this month to help, pass it on to your friends interested in making fursuits!! The "play hours" requirement is for a 365 day period normally, so having a 30 day notice of it is really a sudden cruch :( Thanks for your time and support. I appreciate it and hope that I have been able to help you make your fursuits over the years with these videos.

https://youtu.be/kcm2q1TMJqk New Video! How to Cut, Carve, and Shape Upholstery foam! This is very much a technique I want to show to those beginning their path of fursuit making, hope it helps you sculpt awesome new projects!
In the video you will see some useful techniques for working with foam demonstrated using a razor, spring scissors, and normal scissors.

The shapes you come up with are up to you, but these are the techniques showing how to use the tools involved. Perfect for crafting your costume, fursuit, or other project utilizing foam as a model or a base to work from!
