Fozzie Bear build

[Justagreenfrog]

Hey ho everybody after doing my first puppet (Kermit) which was very successful apart from the mouth not going to a correct point ive decided to do the Muppet every body loves FOZZIE BEAR
ive got some fur and it is perfect well in my eyes its good Ive been searching around for a week find the correct fur with tons of samples for various fur company and fabric shops in my area not having the fur i finally found some ive got a pattern,

the fur is very furry but how do i matte a long pil fur ?
here is the real Fozzie

and now here is my fur

what do you all think about the color ?
and does any one no what to use for fozzies nose ?

The colour is great.Fozzie's nose is a foam ball covered in felt. I think to matte the fur, you have to rub something into it and tease it.Maybe hair spray? And then Fozzie's face and hands are trimmed (Unless you want the current Fozzie fluff ball with no matte or trim!! )

I've heard to get hair looking all scruffy, you need to boil it.
Search the forum, i've seen quite a few teaching you the process for this... especially under Fozzie, Elmo, Cookie Monster etc...

Where did you get that fur and what did they call it? It looks really close...
