  The Making of a Yeti - Qee Customisation

Image 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!

Image 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.

Image Started foot
Each piece layed carefully onto a bed of glue and 'painted' in until it was secure.

Image 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.

Image One finished leg
After about 4 hours one leg was finished..

Image 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.

Image 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!


Image 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..
