Curtain call for Fozzie Bear...

[ashkent]

Well, a few people asked what the next replica would be from Old Enough To Know Better puppets and despite a couple of custom orders I found time to crack on with the one and only Fozzie Bear. Still a couple of pieces to work on at the front so for now to whet the appetite here is a quick shot of Foz waiting for his moment.

And here are some of the pictures of almost finished Fozzie. The only thing really missing is his eyebrows.

I wasn't completely satisfied with his eyes as the eye lids come a little bit too far down the side of his eyes.

I think he is a combination of a few different Fozzie variants - as there have been so many of them with different eye sizes and shapes, different colours.... so anyway, here he is.

I love that fur!!

 

[patchlion]

The fur is brilliant!
Where did you purchase from?

 

[ashkent]

The fur is shag fur bought from BigFabricz (i think that was the one) but when it came it straight and caramel coloured. I boiled it for about ten minutes and added some sunshine yellow dye to it. I know a lot of the time dyes don't work well on furs unless you buy something specialist, but because it just needed to tint the colour it worked out well.

Did you custom make the hat to?

Did you custom make the hat to?

Yes the hat was mad from a base hoop of plastic with the rest of the hat made from card and covered in felt. The band was a brown velvet material.

What pattern did you use for his head ?

What pattern did you use for his head ?

His head was based on the Project Puppet Punto pattern although it needs tweaking depending on which version of Fozzie you want to end up with.
