It’s another collaboration! You know the drill. My friend Vince Dorse designed this goofy devil (I love the retro, ‘70s feel of this design). Then, while I worked on needle felting the body, he sculpted the horns and hooves out of paper clay. Then we put it all together.
If you want to see more of the process, we made a video where we talk a bit about needle felting, paper clay sculpting and the design. I’ll embed that video at the bottom of this post. And on the way down there, you can check out some process photos.
I’m testing out the nose to see if it’s the right shape and size
Making sure the eyes and teeth fit

I felted some of the legs before attaching them to the body
