The progress for the Dr's puppets!

I filled the hole around the mouth of Sammy and put his eyebrows on him today! The weather wasn't doing its job and drying the magic sculpt quickly so I have to wait for it to dry before I go moving it all around and mess it up. Later this evening I'm going to build the 2 bodies and probably build the arms and legs and put them on. I took the hands out if the molds today so I had to fill the holes with magic sculpt. Just waiting for the magic sculpt to dry on them too so I can sand! Both puppets will be done next week and mailed to the good Dr! Doc if you got any questions please feel free to call my cell phone 816-898-6690. If I don't answer I'm either at my full time job and can't answer and will call you back on my break; or running a very loud sander but please leave a message and I will get back with you ASAP!

Swelling up!!

I think I'm allergic to magic sculpt!! Not a good thing since that's what I use to make the puppets heads, hands and soon the feet! Every time I use a lot of it at once I start swelling up! Last year when I was making all the new puppets my eyes swoll up and almost shut! I do have medicine I take before, during and after but sometimes my eyes still swell up!

The progress on the Dr's puppets!

I got the sanding done and started the inner mechanics! I got the eyes put in on both puppets, with Sammy I also got the mouth put on and the brass rod on the inside of the head! The magic sculpt is still drying on Ezmerelda is why I'm not as far on her. The picture shows the progress for the face in the top photo; and the bottom photo shows the inner mechanics for Sammy! There is still a lot of work to do but it's moving right along so far!

Very nervous!

This is as I thought; a very good year for selling ventriloquist puppets! I have been selling a puppet every week! Today I sold to a Dr! The dr's are the ones who care for us when we get sick or cut our fingers in half from making the puppets! Lol. I feel as though I have to do the very best work I've ever done. Wish me luck! I will keep pictures posted as I work on the puppet for each step. I already have the head out of the mold so I have to sand, sand, and sand some more!

Tiki man

I wanted to show everyone the work on tiki man step by step! He went through the sculpting stage, then the rubber latex stage, then tge mother mold; then I stuffed the head with magic sculpt and yesterday I took the new puppet head out when the magic sculpt dried! Here he is today after I cut the holes out for his eyes and his mouth! When I'm off on Sunday I need to make a mold for his mouth; right now it just has the outside of the magic sculpt and sculpting clay to make the rest of the mouth and teeth and tongue.

2 feet are better than 1

I finally finished both feet today! I got magic sculpt in 2 of the new puppets molds and working to be actual puppets! Today was very productive! Bad thing is, I work my full time job the next 3 days! (Boo!) wish I could make puppets full time!

Let's step into it!

I have decided to make some feet for the puppets! I made the right foot and working on the wrong foot;  oops I mean the left foot! Here is the pictures of the right one that just in the sculpting clay and ready to be molded!
