The Making of a Yeti - Qee Customisation
|
 |
Pre-fur Yeti - 'Bath Time' One of the problems was getting to all of the areas to put the hair on, he needed to come apart. The bear is Vinyl so a little trip to the hot tub and he softened up nice enough to pull him to bits! |
 |
First Steps The first application of glue to the naked bear. The 'fur' was a knitting yarn, layed piece by piece to cover the surface. |
 |
Started foot Each piece layed carefully onto a bed of glue and 'painted' in until it was secure. |
 |
Half an ear This gives you an idea of how much and how close each row is, I used more than one ball of wool on him, I think totaling about 100m. |
 |
One finished leg After about 4 hours one leg was finished.. |
 |
Being assembled As the vinyl is hard at room temperature, and not wanting to put him in hot water with hair, I had to use a hair dryer to soften him up enough to re-assemble him. |
 |
No hair cut Before the hair was trimmed, the volume of fur was quite impressive! The most scary part was trying to put the head back on with that much fur, I had no idea it would be so hard, and he's fairly delicate.I didn't want his fur coming off after 3 days work! |
 |
Finished bear After his trim and final assembly here stands the Yeti.If I ever get to see him again there will be more and better pictures of him.. |
