Still plugging away at the first models for the film project. Here, you can see rough versions of the "young boy" body (to be used for some schoolkids in the background), a couple of heads (we'll see what works after we cast them in latex, starting tomorrow), and "sketches" of the monsters. The pear-shaped one on the right is really growing on me, but the cat/walrus/Reptar hybrid on the left has got to go. I'll keep fussing until something sticks. It's hard to know exactly what's going to work, since the bodies will be clothed (real fabric) and the monsters will have fur. It's like trying to sculpt the skinned version of something you can't quite picture in the first place.
Thanks for sticking with me while I do the boring parts. After tomorrow, there's going to be a lot of cool stuff to see. :)
Hooray, we're in the studio! I spent the better part of my Sunday listening to the Beatles and coating a headless, eight-year-old boy in Vaseline. See?
Because of all the time I spent unpacking the 8,000 boxes of puppet-making supplies we ordered from Burman, I didn't get as much done today as I would have liked. But I did make the first half of the boy body mold (this week I'll finish the mold and hopefully pour some latex before the weekend), and that's a start.
Here he is after a layer of hydrocal:
And after the first half of the mold is complete:
The west side of the studio, just for kicks:
Another big day. This time, I recruited my good friend Sean to perform slave labor help me out around the studio and keep me from going stir-crazy. Thanks, Sean!
Today, we made latex casts of two boys and one girl, leaving just one boy, three girls, and a monster to do tomorrow. It sounds like a lot, but I'm getting exponentially faster every day. It took me two weeks to make my first mold, and now I can do one or two a day. So I still have high hopes that I can finish all the baking tomorrow.
I also finished sculpting Monster #2 and made the first side of the mold, so I'll finish that up tomorrow, too. Sean measured out fourteen little balls of Sculpey for the heads I sculpt during the week, and I trimmed and patched the first little boy and Monster #1. I'm still terrified that something is going to crack, explode, deflate, dissolve, or otherwise break, but I think I'll be able to put those fears to rest tomorrow when I completely finish the first puppet. If I can do it once, I'll trust myself to do it eight more times, so fingers crossed.
Thanks for all the encouragement as I stumble through this. I know the final film is going to be just gorgeous.
After a…what is it, three-year hiatus? I finally sculpted something again. Hooray!
This is something I wanted to make for my husband David back when he was still just my boyfriend, but I got busy (2011), and then we didn’t really like the house we were living in (2012), so I didn’t get around to it until now (2013). We just got married and bought our first house, so this seemed like the right opportunity.
Anyway, it took about two days, several photos, and a Google Maps aerial view to get the house sculpted, and then came the scary baking part where the whole thing could go up in flames (literally). But the house survived, and then all I had to do was stick it in the snowglobe…somehow.
Ever wondered what’s inside a snowglobe? I don’t know about yours, but mine is full of plastic snow, three bottles of distilled water, a shot of vodka, and an adult enema kit.
Listen, we were out of rubbing alcohol (to prevent bacteria), and they don’t sell pure glycerine (to break the surface tension of the water) at my local drugstore. They do, however, sell glycerin-based adult enemas. And I had an open bottle of vodka in the house. So.
Ho ho ho?
Cats on the go
Here she is.
I wanted to post about the little thing I was working on the other day. I had fun making her and I hope she brings a smile to someone's face. I will paint her better later.
Woo boy
Have I bitten off more than I can chew with my current project? Maybe. Am I having fun at attempting it? Most definitely! If this turns out well it’s going to be AWESOME. :D

I have to admit that this was an interesting experience. First time I made something like this. I am mostly happy how she turned out. I really hope you all enjoy her.
