Felted Baku

Description

Here it is! The needle felted version of my Baku concept that I made back when:

The baku is a Japanese mythical creature that guards your sleep and will eat your nightmares. Bakus are described as having elephant trunks, tiger legs, and horse-like bodies. Here is a felted version of my personal take on the creature.

I love how he turned out! :love: I had tons of dreams about him while I was making him, which I think means he was eating my nightmares. ^_^

Made from needle felted wool over a wire armature, which allows for gentle posing. The tusks are paper clay wired in place. The eyes are plastic. From trunk tip to tale tip this baku is approximately 16 inches long and from toe to ear tip it is 8 inches tall.
