Stocking Stuffers in the Works

LA Krampus Troupe co-founder Al Guerrero is whipping up on a line of snuggly devils to be made available at December’s upcoming Krampusfest events.  Accessories for the large doll include: birch sticks, basket, chains, bells and beer. He’s cuddly! Any other crafty types out there interested in creating a Krampus Holiday crafts table to sell items for the 2013 Xmas season?  Contact us!

Krampus Mask Step-by-Step

A second mask I’ll be sending out on the streets of LA this December.   Thumbnails show construction process.  Note that curved plastic conduit served as base over which hollow goat horns can be easily be positioned in a variety of trial positions (three  variations shown).  Cardboard and hot-glue build up basic shape, strengthened by a coating of mixed resin and  Bondo.  Some epoxy putty details, fine line and texture provided by dremel, a few layers of dry-brushed color, and it’s ready for a mane of custom-sewn hair wefts.
