I'm Silkyfur, I am a gentle Holstein bull from Sweden. This drawing of
me was made by
@ArtOfMaquenda
in 2012, and it is the drawing of me that
best shows who I really am. Visual representation of my bovine self was
based on a bull calf I was taking care of.
Today, I went for my first outdoors photoshoot with my brand new fursuit made by the wonderful
@GoFurItstudios
Went to the town of Ronneby and met lots of people that wanted to talk, hug or take photos with the fluffy moo! I had a great time.

I love hugs and photos, but please ask first!
Don't be offended if I don't recognize you. I have difficulty remembering faces.
There's going to be a meet and greet for all bovines on Wednesday!

And not just species, but the actual individual bull calf that i am based on. Just to honour his memory, cause he was the sweetest little guy ever.

#FursuitFriday
It's my birthday today. I am turning 46 years old.
I have the day off work, and planning to spend most of the day outside in the sunny (but cold) weather, looking for geocaches.
Met a lot of lovely people and creatures during
#NFC2020
. Did not manage to take many nice photos, sadly, but I am going to share just a few with you all. For instance, I briefly bumped into the incredibly cute
@CarlitoDurr
. I love his colours and his expressions.
Same location, different weather!
What a difference a little bit of sun and blue sky makes, right? But I still couldn't resist fursuiting for a bit today, despite the weather not being at its best.

I commissioned
@MushroomHuie
for one of his gorgeous psychedelic-style icons, and I am absolutely blown away by how wonderfully I was portrayed! I love how he captured my personality perfectly, and how immensely beautiful my eyes look. And the colours are soo beautiful!
Back in February I received this lovely sketch from the wonderful
@Nievaris_Art
.
I love how much emotion she put into my expression. I adore absolutely everything with this sketch!💚
After 12 years of wanting to get a fursuit, I finally managed to get hold of a really lovely partial! I decided to name them Foxflame, and they are non-binary. It's lovely to finally be fluffy after so many years of wanting! Beautifully crafted by

Receiving this absolutely amazing pyrography dragon by the super-awesome
@RenTradewind
made so very happy. It's such a beautiful piece of art!
I'm happy I managed to win the auction of this piece. I just knew I needed one of Ren's dragons in my home!
Met the lovely
@horse_hazel
and got a photo together!
Thank you Hazel!
Walking around as Foxflame at
#NFC2023
right now.
Come say hi if you see me. Been more outside than inside while suiting so far.
It's the birthday of my human body today, this body turns 45 years old. As a therian, I choose to use this birthday to celebrate the existence of myself, my soul, my spirit, no matter what body and life i happen to be in at the moment.
Who am I going to see at
#NFC2023
next week?
You're going to find me, either suiting as Foxflame, or disguised as this human form, hiding my inner bovine self!
Hoping to meet and hug as many of all you wonderful people as possible!
I'm shy, so may need encouragement to hug!💚
Received this absolutely amazing piece of
@SnowAurus
and me, made by the wonderful
@Lynxwolf3
.
I am absolutely blown away by how glorious this piece is. It's such a peaceful and tranquil scene. Great art at its best. Thank you so much,
@Lynxwolf3
, you are great!
There are not enough muskox OCs in the fandom. I only know of a handful. I have loved and adored muskoxen all my life, and decided it is time I make a muskox character for myself.
I need name suggestions to help me name him.

I received this lovely calendar that I ordered from
@Junka_art
. It's fully of super cute drawings, and I absolutely adore it! Thank you,
@Junka_art
for making this sweet calendar! <3
I just received this amazing piece of gift art from the wonderful
@kippycube
. It was a total surprise, and I am so happy how she managed to capture my personality and my character so expertly. This is me. This is exactly me.
I've heard of so many people becoming less shy once they get in a fursuit. Being shy myself, I was curious to see if being Foxflame would make me feel different.
Foxflame may not look shy, but turns out that they are equally shy as I am! Love every second of suiting, though.
Got this beautiful drawing I commissioned from the awesome
@Kashmere_Art
I love how soft my fur looks, and the expression is spot on!
Thank you so much, Kashmere for your great job on this! I am so happy! <3
I just received this beautiful drawing of me, that I commissioned from the lovely and talented
@BearHybrid
. I am so happy with how she portrayed me, and I can't thank her enough. (Reposted due to tiny error.)
If you haven't already watched it, I can highly recommend watching "Hero" by
@AshCoyote
,
@chipfoxx
and
@FurryFilmmaker
. It's beautiful, engaging, inspiring, touching and heartfelt, and I don't know how many times I was moved to tears. Great documentary!
I've currently boarded an airplane at Paris airport waiting for take-off, on my way to see my beloved Owner
@SnowAurus
for the first time. To say i'm excited is the understatement of the century.
For
#CowAppreciationDay
, here's a photo from 2007. The bull calf my fursona is based upon, with his half sister in the background as she's drinking milk from her mom. Further in the background is the house I lived in between 2001 and 2012.

My first video upload on YouTube ever. We don't have a very high quality camera, so please excuse the quality of the video!
Sorry I am missing a lot of what all of you are tweeting, as I have been too busy to keep up with Twitter.
On a positive note, I am feeling much better now. Some good things are happening in my life and is making everything better.
Thank you, for being here! 🧡💚❤️💙💜
Go check out
@kippycube
who is currently open for commissions! She makes beautiful art, and is such a pleasure to work with. I have three beautiful pieces that she did for me, and I am so happy with all of them! I really can't recommend her enough.

The amount of straight people who seem to have "being straight" as their whole identity is rather large, and they are so annoying, but few people complain to them about their blatant straightness.
I've got to admit. To me, fursuits and fursuiting is magic. The beauty of fursuits, the interaction, the feeling of fursuiting, the feeling of being surrounded by fursuiters, thinking : How is it possible to be so beautiful / adorable? It's magic to me. 1/2
I realized I never take selfies, so I took one today. As a therian, I despise my body and can't connect to it on any level. It feels like a fake body. My real body is bovine. Only thing I like about my fake body is the hair. It's still thick and dense, despite being 44 years old.
Hi if you’re a furry over 30 QRT your sona. Let’s prove a point here.
Oopps, my fursona and my fursuit aren´t the same but it still counts!

First time I saw someone in a bovine fursuit, I was like "Omg! We're the same species!" and he was: "Uh, whatever, just wanted a cool fursuit."
I got so disappointed.
Now I get happily surprised I every time I encounter furries who know differences between cattle species, etc.
In the music room there is art from
@ArtOfMaquenda
, the lovely centaurs by
@twospotz
and a completely unrelated Lord of the Rings poster I bought in 1991.
After all these years I finally got myself a reference sheet.
@kippycube
did such a marvelous job on my ref sheet, and I couldn't be happier. This is exactly the way I envision myself.
@kippycube
is an amazing artist, and if you are not following her already, go do it now!
I went to see Avatar: The Way of Water today.
I was not disappointed. I interpret it from my therian and pantheist perspective, and I found it to be really touching and a pleasant spiritual experience.
Arrived at the hotel in Hamburg just after 01:00 (in the middle of the night).
The entire drive took about 12 hours, but we stopped for food halfway, and towards the end got lost multiple times in Hamburg due to so many roadworks.
But now we're finally here.
All furry artists and crafters, commissioners, fursuitmakers, fursuiters, photographers. Furries and therians who post thoughts, feelings and facts. Thank you for enriching my life! 💚❤️💜💙

Foxflame worn by me.
Why does so many people feel the need to express so much negative feelings on stuff that other people like?
The film Avatar means a lot to me for therian and spiritual reasons.
I am not talking shit about films or games or music that others like, even if I don't like it myself.

As someone who recently commissioned
@GoFurItstudios
, I can recommend them wholeheartedly.
They are amazing. Everything about commissioning them was so good. Great with communication. Shows detailed WIP photos for every step.
The fursuit is such high quality and so comfy!
Took this photo during
#NFC2020
fursuit-walk, where there was quite a lot of "normies" (or maybe in-closet furries) being fascinated with all the fursuiters. Here's
@ChristmasSnow94
encountering a young admirer.
Some photos from Saturday, when we went for a stroll by the coast.
@SanjiTanuki
took some selfies of herself and me (as Foxflame), wonderful suit made by
@WeMightBite
.
One of my absolute favourite fursuits that I saw at
#NFC2020
was Kenya the hyena,
@UnityTheLynx
. This grainy photo does not do her justice. The suit, and the performance of the suiter made her look the perfect combination of savage and cute. A pure masterpiece.
Today is my birthday. As of today, I am 43 years old. The pic on the right was taken 3 days ago. The pic on the left was taken when I was 20 years old. I still feel like 20 on the inside.

I guess I can tick this off my bucket list now!
As a side note: Does anyone know which HS code/Customs tariff number one should use when sending a Duct Tape Dummy abroad?
