The Scream

This is a hand puppet i made for my sons' girlfriend, for her Art room when they were doing expressionism in particular Edvard Munch The Scream. The black body is made of speaker felt, a very thick material used in covering speakers. the rest is made of felt.

She Needs a Name

Side View of Space Hopper Girl. She needs a name can you help?


Back View. I enjoyed the process of making her.
First things first, tomorrow i will be cleaning up (i tend to spread myself out when i am doing a project) then I will be making some charity dolls for the next few days after that, But i won't be putting pictures of them up until December !st when they will be photographed together.

Finished

Space Hopper Girl is finished!! Although she still looks scared I am happy the way she turned out. The face on the Space Hopper is permanent marker. When i glued the handles on it changed the colour on the Space Hopper but I still like it.

I used a bent coat hanger to hold the Space Hopper still.

Painting the Space Hopper

The final layer of the Space Hopper is usually, well originally orange. But i did not have orange paint, i had green. I love this colour, it reminds me of avocado. Using the glue i already had i added poster paint to the mixture. I have painted almost half of it and now it is in the sun, but away from the wind to dry.
I will check it periodically through the day and turn it around to hopefully get dry.
The glue has made the paint look plastic/rubbery I hope it dries like that.
I have also painted the feelers, handles. Tubes of fabric stuffed and pipe cleaners added inside too. The paint in the jar has got a piece of plastic film over the top of the paint. I hope that this will help stop a skin from forming so that later i can finish painting it.

Hands and Feet

The hands and feet are being made separately from the main body. Drawn ready to sew. The shoe is going to be appliqued in wool blend fabric before sewing up. The foot made with the cotton fabric including the sole. Then it will be stuffed and ladder stitched in place at the end of the leg. The sole will be copied slightly larger in leather and glued in place. Lastly a heel will be glues in too. (this is half a sole shape).

The hand is a mitten type hand that will have fingers sewn on the dotted lines. Pipe cleaners added to be able to curve the fingers down.
