Progress on Nosferatu!

I got the head, hands, mouth, and back of the cap started today for Nosferatu! I work the next 4 days so I know I won't get to work on him a lot but I'm going to be working all the time I can! He was really fun the first time I built him! Sunday I will be able to put up pictures for sure to show the progress at a visual!

Thinking! Might be a good thing!

A customer had a talk with an employee of Aces Vents and when I mail out the packages; I mail them in a Idaho potato box I get from my job. He happen to be from Idaho. He found it funny and I'm glad but It got me to thinking though about professional images. Then I saw a commercial that the guy was excited to see his box waiting on the porch from Amazon. The thought came to me that maybe I should check into a more professional style of box for shipping the puppets. It's going to be more expensive than I thought but maybe I really should do it for appearance and look more professional while doing the hobby that I love! I'll get back and report maybe Monday what I found out and if I will be able to do it!

OOAK Professional Ventriloquist Figure/Puppet/Dummy Geisha

Miscommunications and sleepless

Yesterday I ran into a problem that I've had one other time! I went to sell a puppet to a customer and someone else bought it!!! Oops! I guess I'm gonna have to either have the customer on line at the very moment I post the puppet (and I thought they were this time), or put the puppet at an unreasonable price and adjust it to the agreed price so no one else buys it!now I have to try and duplicate a puppet I didn't make a mold for and get it as close as possible! If it's a one of a kind puppet it's NOT going to be exact! So I'm laying here at 1:30 am thinking about this and worrying I'm not going to get it right to satisfy the customer again!

Promotions

At my full time job I got a promotion up to manager. With a promotion this means more hours! I finish the Bloody Mary puppet for the customer and got her shipped out early this morning and have done nothing with the puppet company since last Wednesday but work at my full time job. Tomorrow I'm going to be working on the geisha and Beetle juice puppets. I'm going to try my best to get the geisha puppet done by Sunday and get her on eBay and YouTube for everyone!

OOAK Ventriloquist Figure/Puppet/Dummy The Caveman

Progress on puppets

I haven't got to work on the puppets much the last few days due to the shop flooding out. Water and electric tools don't go together too well. I did get to work on them today some! The cave man will be on tomorrow on eBay and Bloody Mary will be done by Tuesday at the latest; or that's what I'm shooting for and so far everything is working perfectly!

Inner mechanics

I put most of the rest of the inner mechanics in today in bloody Mary. I just got a let them dry, then tomorrow if everything works good,  I have to connect the hand control, put the brass rod in that moves he eyes and magic sculpt them together. Then I just have to hand sand the head and hands Wednesday and magic sculpt the cap for the back of the head on; then Thursday its time to paint!!!
