This has just been an awesome day!

I love the new heater! I'm able to work all day long in the shop and still be warm! It doesn't warm enough to hurry the drying process for the free form sculpt; but it's still drying! I filled one of the new molds for one of the new puppets! I also cut the wood for 7-12 bodies! I still got more to cut but the picture below shows what's done so far! This shows the top (shoulders), bottom and the sides! I still have to cut out more tops and then the little dowel for the center; and then put them all together, and then cut the hole for the hand control then sand all the edges smooth; but that will be tomorrow evening when I get back from taking my dad to the city for a dr appointment which can take most of the day! Tomorrow I also have to fill another puppet head and a set of hands!

It's warming up in the shop!

Since I bought the Free Form sculpt instead of the magic sculpt; it takes longer to dry and in the cold I've waited 3 days for it to cure and it never did so I got a heater so I can start working on the puppets more in the winter! Let's hope this works so my productivity can pick up! Here is a picture of my little heater! 

What a gift

Last night when I got home at 11pm my wife gave me a gift I have wanted for a long time; A Fender guitar!!! I was so excited so I had to share. Below is a picture of it! What a beautiful sound it makes; and isn't it a beauty!

The eyes

Here is what the eyes look like sitting in the head. Of course they are not permanently in yet so they wasn't centered well. The head still has a lot of sanding to get the head smooth. Let me know what you think of the eyes so far! I think when this puppets done it's going to be an auction style on eBay!

Eyes

Here is a set of eyes for one of the new puppets I'm making. I figured that since it's an evil puppet its eyes shouldn't be white! It's not a good picture but the eyes are a yellowish with grey iris!

Plans for next year

I sold, shipped, and make quite a few puppets this year! It has been a successful year. I probably will not put out any more new ones this year (2014). But next year, I have plans to put out a bunch of new ones and I have already started a few of them! Most of them probably will be counted as sci-fi or horror, but that is some of my favorite kind of puppets to build! There will be a few of the; what I like to call happy puppets, but not very many. And from time to time I will also put out some of the old ones that I made upon request. Most of the puppets or figures (whatever you prefer to call them), that I make next year, Will probably be Ooak, or one-of-a-kind. I want to thank the buyers who did buy the puppets this year in 2014! I had all happy customers but one, and he was happy with the actual puppet, but he was not happy with the uniform it was on. I guess the old saying goes you can't please everyone. I also made some new friends!  So I'm happy that everyone like the actual puppets that I made!          Since the ones next year will be Ooak, there will only be one made of that puppet. I look forward to next year, and if you have any request for a puppet or one of the older ones that I made please let me know! Thank you all again for your orders and I hope you really enjoyed your puppets this year and I look forward to next year for making new puppets and making some new friends! Have a wonderful rest of the year and may God bless you all! Merry Christmas!           Sign,  Ace from acesvents! 😊
