Puppets

Over the last few months, making puppets has become a bit of an obsession of mine.
Here are the three I've completed.


All are aluminium block armatures (with lots of help from my dad with the fancy aluminium bits)
The clothes were made from recycled fabric & old clothes (charity shops, etc).
Aged & dyed fabric accordingly- as well as lined garments.
Patterns were drafted by myself.
Knitting was done on a miniature scale.

I've never enjoyed something so much & I want to do this for the rest of my life.

Next step is to learn how to cast & make silicone puppets.
