I ordered fur swatch samples from Mendels Far Out Fabrics and received them in the mail today. I am in the process of planning out my Lavender Canine fursuit for a character named Roxley.

I got samples of the lavender, white, and black punkey muppet furs. I already know that black is out of the question as I decide to use black fur that I found at my local Fabricland. However, I am not satisfied with the white.
Does anyone have any experience with the punkey muppet fur? I like the lavender fur, yet I don't know what I should get for the white.
Already I have a duct tape dummy made. Once I get the motor rolling, I can post WIP pictures of the suit. Its going to take me awhile, however. I don't plan to rush the suit.

Yeah I have experience in punky Muppet fur. What do you need to know?
I am wondering if the overall outcome of the belly/chest would look fairly decent with the white fur. I never made a suit before, but have made other articles of clothing, tails, ears, etc.
I suppose that looking for the bigger picture is harder to do with a fursuit from just a small sample of fur. Some nice, soft, white fur wold be perfect for a chest/belly. I am curious if I would gain the same illustration with the punkey muppet fur. Or maybe I should look for a different fur to use?
*unsure*
The lower part of Gaomon's chest is made of that stuff.
Oh wow. That looks good.
That changes everything now, thanks ^_^
