sorry no new post here lately

Here lately I have been working at the old job, working on puppets that sold, and looking for a new career job. I sold another Sammy and he was not even started so I have been working on him and Paul's demon puppet whenever I'm not out job hunting or in church. I just sure wish the weather would warm up so I could work on the puppets more! I'm thinking that by next Monday I am shooting to get both puppets completely finished and hopefully get Sammy in the mail to his new owner and have Paul's puppet completed and on eBay for him to buy her then shipped out to him!
then I can concentrate fully on finding a new job and have a regular schedule to work on puppets!

I do know that after these puppets I am going strictly to working on One of a kind puppets or OOAK puppets where there is only one made of them unless someone directly request another one to be made then I will hand make it. Paul your demon puppet is an OOAK puppet and there will be no other demon puppets made of it so its an original! I will get pictures of it put up whenever I get the chance. I have her completely sanded and today I drilled out the holes for the iris's and the springs in the back of the eyes for the self centering. I tried to make it with raising eyebrows but there is no way that was going to happen with the lines I put on the face for the details. It was not letting the eyebrows raise at all so I removed them and sealed the holes back up. I'm letting the magic sculpt dry for the springs then will finish up with the eyes later tonight and I should be able to start painting on her soon. I also had another idea I wanted to throw past you really quick since you already call for her to be yours. I was thinking that she would look good in all red with the lines going down her forehead to be black with black horns and black eyes with red pupils! Let me know what you think of the idea or if you want her painted differently! I also already made her a pure black costume with a hood that is going to look awesome on her! I know you will love it Paul!

No sleep just thinking.

Its 2:50am and I can't sleep at all. I got to thinking about what all I have to do and the puppets I have in mind to start sculpting soon! I looked at the weather for here in Missouri and it's only getting up to 14 degrees today!!! Right now it's only 1 degree outside! Wow!! I guess I won't get much done on the puppets other than sanding! I'm about to move to a climate that's warm year round! Brrrr! 

The weather is a roller coaster!

Even though it only got in the high 20s today I still worked on puppets! I sold another of the Sammy puppets so I had to stuff the molds today for it! I finished that and took it in the house where it's warm to start drying. Tomorrow I will take it out of the molds and start the sanding process! Thanks to my mother in law, I have an electric Dremel 3000 that she bought me for Christmas so no more stopping to charge the batteries! Here tomorrow I will be able to put the eye holes for the pupils and the holes for the springs in Paul's demon puppet and it's all down hill after that! Paul it will finally be done soon my friend! Since the weather is not in the negative degrees I have been working to get it done with every minute I have! 

Working on new puppets today

Today I worked on Paul's demon puppet! I am also working on 2 new puppets and a few other projects for the puppets! I can sculpt them out but can not make a mold of them until the weather gets to atleast 70 degrees! It got to 52 degrees today in Missouri so I started working the minute I saw how warm it was!! Not a bad day at all; I got a lot done for one day! I have to take my dad to the VA hospital tomorrow and then to a job interview but plan on working on puppets for the rest the day. If I have time tomorrow I will post some pictures after I get back to the shop!

Warming up!!!

Its finally starting to warm up enough that I can start working on puppets again!!! I'm excited! It's starting to get in the 40 degrees so maybe the magic sculpt will dry now! I did repaint the red villains brain and I'm going to sealer it soon then I will take pictures and post them on here, eBay, and maybe make another video for YouTube since I fixed him up for ppl to see! I'm also going to be able to finally work on the demon puppet and try and get it done for Mr Paul!

Paul here is the demons hands!

I know the pictures do no justice but here is the hands for the demon puppet! Let me know what you think!

Repainting red villains head!

Normally when I make a new puppet it sells pretty quickly but this guy still hasn't sold! I sat looking at him and decided that maybe his brain was too bright so I repaint him! The pink was the old color and the brown with black lining is the new color! Please leave feedback and let me know what you think!

Happy New Year!

I know I'm a few days late but; HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! It's 2014 and this year is going to be the best year ever I can feel the good vibrations! I can't wait until spring time and the weather warms back up because I have a lot of ideas for puppets I wanna make! Most of them will be one-of-a-kinds and only one will be made of each of them! I do have a few puppets I will be dublicating. I also plan to start a website later this year! If anyone knows of a free website and hosting that's legit please let me know!
