How To Sculpt Bear Fur In Paper Mache Clay

My grizzly bear mask pattern isn't online yet (I'll put a link here when it's available) but this way of sculpting bear fur worked so well that I couldn't wait to show it to you.

For the really wild areas on the bear's head I crumpled the foil "tool" so it was slightly zig-zaggy (that's a word, isn't it?) and it added even more of a wild look to the fur.

I used a very thin layer of paper mache clay over the cardboard mask. To make a thin layer, leave out some of the flour in the recipe. You can find the recipe here: https://youtu.be/1YQ6eUqcEh8
