Okami-inspired wolf tail 2by *lupagreenwolf

Artisan Crafts / Leatherwork / Clothing

This is one of five pictures of this project.

So here's my latest creation! Zhon was awesome enough to sell me a pair of Arctic wolf tails, and I decided to manifest an idea I've had for a very long time!

I'm not really interested in selling full-on cosplay stuff; however, I sometimes do decorated or themed tails (you can find them scattered throughout my gallery). And I've wanted to make one inspired by Amaterasu from Okami, one of my very favorite Wii games.

And this? This is the result of finally getting to do that!

The tail, one of the very biggest and fluffiest I've ever seen, is a full two feet long; I made the braided belt out of leather from an old coat, and secondhand red yarn. The streamer of red, yellow and orange yarn down the tail represents the solar flames surrounding Amaterasu in the game, while the jade disk, reclaimed from an old necklace, resembles the weapon Divine Retribution. The streamer does hang straight down; it was just getting blown to one side by the wind in a couple of the pics.

To try out a new idea that I'll be implementing in some specialty tails going forward, I made a matched pair of belt bags, 5 1/2" x 4 1/4", with a leather strap that ties around a toggle made of a foot bone from an unknown animal; the bone represents the Holy Bone that feeds Amaterasu throughout the game. The bags are removable!

This tail is one size fits most, with the 72" long belt. And it will work for people of a variety of heights; I'm 5'4" and you can see how it fits on me. Everything is hand-cut and hand-stitched and even hand-braided!

This IS for sale; it's not up on Etsy just yet because I wanted folks who watch me on various social media networks to get first crack at it. The price is $250 plus shipping, insurance and delivery confirmation; this reflects not only the quality of the materials, but also the amount of time and effort that went into creating this. I do not intend to duplicate it, so this is your one chance! Layaway is available, and I also accept money orders, Paypal, and I can take a credit card if you're in Portland.

Sorry, but this cannot be sold to people in CA or NY, and no international sales.

Who else has done an Okami tail with a real wolf tail? I'd be curious to see.

OMG how much are you selling this for? this one of the monenoke tail, i dun care which! I just want one so bad D: please let me know im VERY interested in a wolf tail...i am a wolf therian after all!

*lupagreenwolf Aug 19, 2011

Hi there

As noted in the description, I am asking $250 plus shipping for each of them; this is to cover not only materials, including premium Arctic wolf tails, but also the significant amount of time and effort in each one. I do have layaway plans, and I also take money orders and Paypal.

Ok! um. hum. Id like to get the okami one....what type of payments can I set up? and is there a time limit? because I only work part time and have to pay alot for rent.....how much is shipping? and can mentioning my birthday is the 18th get me any sort of discount? xD (never hurts to ask! XD )

*lupagreenwolf Aug 20, 2011

Basically, layaway is "what can you pay down now, and how long do you reasonably think it would take you to pay off the rest?" As to the birthday, natal felicitations to you; unfortunately I can't do a discount on these.
