Step one: Come up with a plan and possible design. Get a model, make some really bad sketches, and take measurements to keep proportions
 Step three: I wrapped core roving around the aperture .  I want my Mummy! In step four, a felting needle was used to anchor in the edges in preparation for the covering.  He needed to look somewhat like a realistic dinosaur, so I blended natural dark roving with some hand dyed green roving on my Brother drum carder. I wanted to have plenty so I didn't run out. He has been slimed. End of step five.  Step six: More blending was done to get the underbelly coloring. Natural gray roving was mixed with hand dyed yellow roving.  Step seven: Hand carders were used to get the red color blend that was used for the inside of the mouth.  Step eight: He needs upper AND lower teeth! Points will be shaped on each individual tooth. 
 Step ten: Yes, that is a cherry pit. I was sizing for the eyes and getting ready to needle in the lower dentures.  Trying to escape. He heard there was chocolate upstairs.  Eyes, nose, toes, and claws were needled in to give him more character in step eleven.  Posing for a finished shot. He stands about 13 inches tall and is 23 inches long from nose to tail tip. He took about 24 hours to complete.  The big T-Rex was the 3-D model. The felted T-Rex is roughly 1/2 the size and will be a "desk buddy" for my son at work. Of course artistic license was taken ....  ROAR!
