Puppet Project

here's a bit of craft work i'd indulged on.

maybe there's just too much of sesame street and the muppet show recently, so i decided to put together something from toilet roll cores that i'd stashed away. yaps, so everything here's built with things around the house. i really haven't got the slightest clue where i was going with this, till the very end :)

Step 1: Create the 'bones'. did this with about 6 cores, stapler and wood glue. took me 2 days to work out what i want to build.





Step 2: prepare paper mache to flesh out the puppets. like the hollow-eye, silly, goofy look that came through.





Step 3: Finishing touches. decide to give it a reggae, muppet blue look. but guess it looks quite boney. Th Wife says it looks too scary for the kid but she seemed ok with it. maybe i should go on to make a few more and maybe get some fabric for the neck & bust.
