This video covers most of the process, but longer versions of the clips in this video + more info/instructions about the process etc is available (most of them to Lvl2+ patrons): https://www.patreon.com/posts/15860656 Hope you enjoy! :D ❄[00:04] The mask has been sculpted with a pottery clay (similar to WED clay I think). ❄[01:32] It was molded with ”Cassini’s plaster”, but I recommend Jesmonite or a similar “acrylic polymer liquid”/“polymer-modified plaster” instead. ❄[02:02] ”Cast" in a paper clay which I make mainly from reused newspapers. ❄[02:30] The horns have been sculpted, molded and cast in resin. ❄[03:07] The mask has a hood of real sheep’s wool that I have wet felted (the wool has been sheared from a sheep living on a farm here in Sweden). ❄[04:36] The bells on the horns, I was told are old sami reindeer bells that I bought at a thrift shop. ❄[04:41] The boots are leather sami style boots - so called näbbskor – that I dyed. I also made a pair of wool boot wraps. ❄[05:28] The knitted sweater I bought second hand and then dyed and distressed. ❄[05:58] I sewed a pair of pants with wool fabric that I also distressed. ❄[06:54] I have sewn a cloak with wool fabric, added a trim and also sheep’s wool as a bottom trim + distressed it. ❄[08:05] The näverkont - a backpack made of birch bark - I also bought second hand and I added two leather straps with old sleigh bells. On the back of the näverkont there are old rusty chains, also bought second hand - they had previously been used for livestock on some farm. ❄[09:15] I made a bunch of julklappar (yule gifts), wrapped them in fabrics and sealed with wax seal stamps. ❄[10:15] The mittens have been nålbundna (needlebound) + wet felted by me, with wool yarn. ❄[10:23] I also made a tail with fabrics, wool, leather scraps and small bells. ❄[11:13] I added a couple of old wooden spoons so that the yule goat can eat his yule porridge and drink his yule mead. Also an old key - maybe a magical key that lets him enter any house during yule? ❄[11:22] My friend Magnus Marklund wore the costume to a yule/christmas market – it was great! —LINKS!— Photos of the Yule Goat: https://www.patreon.com/posts/15859289 History & inspiration of the Yule Goat: https://www.patreon.com/posts/15860535 How to wet felt a sheep wool rug: https://youtu.be/BPa7zXkx3Z0 The Yule Goat visits a yule market: https://youtu.be/GvbpeubkacA My paper clay tutorial: https://www.etsy.com/se-en/listing/234651804/tutorial-how-to-make-paper-clay-papier Magnus Marklund art: https://www.instagram.com/atmagnusmarklund/ Music in the video is made by Kevin MacLeod, licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Song: Master of the Feast - Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1400019 Song: Grim League - Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100779 Kevin MacLeod website: http://incompetech.com/ Kevin MacLeod Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/kmacleod Most of the timelapse was filmed with my phone (Samsung Galaxy S6) using the app Lapse It Pro.
