making puppets

making our first puppets in the basement of market house with joohee, amanda, and jose!

the basic armature

made with aluminum wires, brass tubing, propoxy, jb weld epoxy, barge glue, and foam

hands; fully functional with movable fingers

made of wire, wrapped in bandage cloth tape stuff, and dipped in latex

i still need to add a final coat of latex with acrylic colouring

the beginning of an enlightening semester

i have been very blessed this semester to have the privilege of being taught by such awe-inspiring teachers as Mary Jane Begin, Fred Lynch, and Agnieszka Woznicka. every class with them has brought enlightenment and reassurance and growth.

but, without further ado:

1. new animations!

the rest are posted on my youtube account

2. new art! (finally)
