Execution
It is necessary to tighten the toes on the legs
Making the nose
For the nose I use a polymer clay Sonnet (you can use any you like) of black colors.
For the nose
Cut a piece of black polymer clay, make a ball 1.5 cm in diameter.
You should give to a ball a shape of the nose. Make a small groove in the middle with a riding-crop not reaching the top approx. for a half.
Make two cavities for the nostrils with a dots. And from the nostrils make the grooves with a riding-crop till the bottom of the nose. You can make the top of the nose textured with a dots.
It is necessary to bake in an oven with a temperature 130 degrees for 30 minutes. After the nose completely dries it is necessary to cover it with a glossy varnish for a polymer clay. I use a varnish Sonnet for polymer clay.
Tightening of the muzzle
Form the eye sockets.
To do this mark two points, approx. in the 12 row, the space between these points 10-12 stitches.
Insert a needle from the bottom of the head, in the place where we left an opening, take it out in the first eye socket, grasping 2 sc, take out a needle back in the bottom of the head, tighten a thread, fasten off. Tighten the second eye socket similarly.
Tightening of the superciliary archs (brows).
Tightening of the superciliary archs (brows) goes along the red lines, you can use the pins for the convenience and keeping the symmetry.
Put the pins, orient yourself to the photo. Light blue pins are in the middle of the head, place one more row to the both sides of the light blue pins, between the pins are approx. 8 sc,
Make the tightening, forming a superciliary arch, making it similar to ^.
Begin from the red pins, moving upward, tighten the crocheted cloth, forming a fold. Reaching the purple pins tighten the cloth moving to the bridge of the nose.
The way of a thread is painted with a green color.
Follow the symmetry of tightenings, they should be identical.
Further sew the eyes in the eye sockets, glue the nose and try on the ears.
The ears are placed like a semicircle for 2-3 rows upper than the superciliary archs, the bottom of the ear is also placed for 2-3 rows upper of the superciliary arch.
After the muzzle is decorated, it is necessary to sew the head to the body, inserting a wire from the neck in the opening in the head. To make the eyes more expressive you can glue the eyelids, cutting a piece of thread according to the size of the eye, accurately smear a thread with a glue and apply it to the eye. Our German mastiff is ready.
