FUR vs. FAUX FUR

WHICH ONE IS WHICH?




One is humane. The other can be heartless and cruel.
Can YOU spot the difference between them?
Many can't. But the difference is much bigger than appearance.
It's more of a choice.

Faux fur. Fake fur. What ever you'd like to call it.
It may not look too different, but faux fur is actually VERY different to real fur. The production process doesn't involve the slaughter of animals.

It LOOKS the same. It even FEELS the same. But it's NOT the same.


Don't wear real fur. Don't encourage animal cruelty.

It's your choice.

WHAT'S HAPPENING?


At the moment, our group is just putting the finishing touches on our screen-printed outcomes.

Rhyia is stitching on some awesome embroidery - a net over the fox on her t-shirt. Ginny is also stitching on some cool embroidery - mainly outlines at the moment. Mahmood's outcome is looking pretty good - he is about to print his final layer and (I think) he's stitching? Callum has just finished his final layer and is also stitching at the moment. I (Maddie) have just finished the embroidery on my t-shirt.

I'm pretty pleased with the final outcome as it meets all my specifications and although the design has evolved a bit over the past few weeks, I really like the way it has turned out. I think everyone is pretty pleased with their work so far and I think their printed outcomes will be just as good!

Hopefully, I will be able to post some photos of the fantastic work here.
