Hello to all you beutiful people
I am a novice teddy maker,but a sculptor,so to sculpt something out of any material is not new to me...but,as i started working on a design by Catherine Makagoon,bulldog,i realized i am completely dumb when it comes on how to make creases,or folds when making a puppy with more folds...like shar pei or pug...the bulldog i am working on is so beutifly explained by katy...and she is an amazing teddy artist,but he has just one fold over the muzzle,so it cant help me much...
Please,please if anyone has any information,direction you could point me into...i would be willing to pay to learn,since i consider knowledge to be priceless...
I tought i could make the creases with neddle felting...but i belive that to make a true bear it has to be sculpted with thread...somehow...just dont know how :))
Thank you in advance for any advice,help,asisstance you can offer
Sincerely

Yanina Link-the best at what she does

hello everyone...i am new here,joined just now.first i am not a teddy maker,its like a hobby to relax from felting,that is my reall choice of work...that beeing said,i bought some workshops,cause i wish to make the perfect bear,and considering i am a sculptor,and made toys before,should not be that big of a problem...however i am waiting for the materials to arrive,and since it's not really cheep,i have some acrylic fur,pale pink i can exercise on,but here's my problem...the fur lenght is way to long for the effect i want,so how can i trimm it before sewing?i tryed with scissors but it's ended up uneven and i dont like it...any suggestions on how to "shave"the fake fur so all the hairs stay the same lenght...for example 1mm
ty in advance
if i made any kind of a mistake adressing this subject please forgive,like i said,it's my first time...:)
