Snout Pattern

[lasher]

Hi:

This is my first post. I am looking for a pattern that has an animal snout. Something along the lines of a bear or a rabbit. I have been doing a lot of research and found the fantastic Ratchet tutorial by Sean, the free round head pattern, and the awesome Tumbles tutorial. But nothing seems to give me the detail or pattern that I need to actually build a snout. The Ratchet tutorial kind of shows a pattern in the background, but nothing I can really use.

I am trying to re-create my daughter's favorite animals for her birthday and the snout is the stumbling block. Can anyone please help with a free pattern, or other suggestions?

Thanks,
Bryan

While snouts are possible with 'flat patterning', you may want to check out Jared Bouttcher's foam carving tutorial http://www.angelfire.com/jazz/puppets/make.html The look you want may be easier to achieve that way.

Sorry I can't help more,

Do you think you could give us a picture of the animal you're trying to re-create?

If it looks anything like Mickey Mouse's, I have a pattern I created for the Sam puppet:
