For the upcoming exhibition I decided to make different fairy tale creatures. Amongst others there will be Little Red Riding Hood und the bad, bad wolf.
So far I don’t have any experiences with stuffed animals that have a snout like a wolf. And although I own many, many great handcraft books – I didn’t find a proper help there.
In such a case I make a simple sketch like the little wolf here… and then I take an old fabric and start to sew (I’m the trial and error type of person – and I only plan for a short time and then go in medias res). With the old fabrics it doesn’t matters if the first stuffed animal looks ugly or becomes a disaster:-)
So, here is my wolf’s head:
I think it’s OK so far but the snout looks a bit too much like one from a fox. So thanks to Photoshop I could make the snout a bit bigger and erased the teeth:
What do you think? Better?
ööööhm… ich hätte eher gedacht, die schnauze is ZU lang!?
(aber ich bin kein massstab ;o)
Mmmm difficult one, I’d say it’s more in the rather big shape of the eye and the position of the ears that could be part of the problem. And I always imagine wolfs to have hunched ’shoulders‘. So maybe you should finish one (the whole softie I mean) and look at the ‚big picture‘ to see what doesn’t seem right!?! But you are so talented I’m sure you can work it out!
Ich würde auch sagen, die Schnauze könnte etwas kürzer sein. Hast Du schon an eine geöffnete Schnauze gedacht? Da könntest Du dann auch noch eine heraushängende Zunge einnähen.
Danke, Ihr Lieben!!! Wahrscheinlich habt Ihr wirklich Recht. Die Rotkäppchen Idee ist jetzt allerdings erstmal verworfen und die Umsetzung des Wolfes auf unbestimmte Zeit verschoben ;-)
Thank you Nicole! You may be right, thanks for your help!
I decided that I will not make a Little Red for the show so the creation of the wolf will have to wait, too ;-)
