Grandma Beast Preview
We have been progressively working on the Grandma puppet and the progress is progessing well. I will now share with you the progress so far. I love sneak peaks, and so do you:
"Hey face-beast, nice face."
profile
Grandma's head was made with a mixture of a one piece puppet head pattern and the "nip and tuck" style of puppet making (essentially a free-form technique). I used the one piece pattern as a base and took squares of half-inch foam, folded them and attached them to form the cheeks. The nose was a small tube of foam that pushed in on one side and squeezed shut on the other side. 
grandma body
For the body, I took the classic wedge pattern and altered it to, instead of creating a sphere, create more of an avocado shape, the I cut a few gussets here and there to create the posture and Voila!, a hunch back with a grandma gut.
Look at her at beauty and wisdom.
More info on our construction of the Grandma puppet soon to come.

What a kind looking form! Scruntchyy nose is tops for me. Who will do the voises for these characters? I think Ben might do it (suck my ass, asshole!)
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE.
I'll never be satisfied by any other puppet.
i just discovered your blog this night, and the website with video i will see the following days, seems to be nice! it's very interesting to see the technique of creation, but i don't understand one thing : how do you cover the foam AFTER you built the head? must be pretty hard to cover with fabric, or do you paint it?
keep on creating ;)
