These four pieces of wood, I've cut out on a band saw and shaped, after their stained, they'll be attached to the following heads.
This is "Birdman" on the right. He seemed lonely so, I made "Birdman's Brother". They'll be appearing in a book about the Troupe, and their adventures.
This life size Clown head is carved from a single block of wood. I'm still deciding on how to paint his face, & what Clown features will look best. I decided to attach his head to this old drawer and give him arms. what will go inside the box? Hmmmm....stay tuned.
Here is a new Clown "Saltine" .Eight pieces will be joined together. Shaped doweling, found objects. I cut and shaped his shoes, many layers of paints stained and sanded to give it a old vibe,
Here is a close up of Saltine, his face was carved from a old shoe shine brush.
You'll be able to move all the puppets by jiggling a stick. Interactive fun. By Sunday I hope to have All the Puppets behaving themselves so you can meet them.
Tomorrow I'm taking the day off, to have a play date with a friend.
