view from where I am working
After working for a few hours I sat back staring at my work studio realising what a crazy profession I have, I build characters from scratch and they are all over the world. I finally got my Miss Piggy out of her box she has been in for the past year or so and finally finished her ( just need to find her a ring to wear) - it's not the best photo but you get the idea. So funny when people ask me what I do for a living and my answer is always " I build puppets" I usually get "oh....... that sounds...... interesting" as they raise one eye brow "so you sew?" " yes I sew, and carve and spray" - Anyway as they say, find a job you love and you will never work a day in your life :)
have a great day

Making Beyonce
Beyonce being constructed, is this photo considered puppet porn? haha - well this is a photo I took while making her costume. all hand made - I think it turned out wonderful. Her head is made from reticulated foam and her body from closed cell foam and her boobies carved from a soft foam, all covered in Antron fleece. Her arms are reticulated foam with leather joints.
Beyonce puppet
I have just finished a puppet version of "Beyonce" with her "Run the World" costume she wears in the film clip. The costume took just as long as the puppet to build but I am pretty happy with the results. Hopefully over the next week I will shoot a video to "Run the World" with this puppet. Should be fun
Have a great day
