Genius!!! Thank you for sharing your puppetry construction, and articulation skills to Make A2 come alive in front of our very eyes!! How would you maybe Rx to preserve the foam parts from degrading by use...It looks like you have maybe employed a bit of paper mache (at 1:10 in the video), tissue paper to stabilize the construction? Using the faux Amaranthus tendrils was genius! May I ask what is the hinge tape at the skull... perhaps linen art framing matting tape? please explain the faux hand construction...sorry, saw that in the bottom comments. May I humbly ask if you used a finishing spray? Love, LOve, LOVE!
@masonbarton3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the kind comments. I did paper maché for a few reasons. 1 - I like that it makes all the added elements looks cohesive. 1 - I like the subtle wrinkles it does. 3 - It protects the foam and gives a better painting surface. Especially if you use spray paint as that would eat the foam. The hinge you are referring to is just extra green felt I just hot glued on. I did coat the eyes and teeth and inside the mouth with a high gloss varnish and the rest with a matte finish. As far as the hand and arm construction, maybe check my blog post about this. I posted more information there. amasonsayswhat.blogspot.com/2016/10/audrey-ii-from-little-shop-of-horrors.html

This is the best tutorial that I've seen so far! I just have a couple questions. 1. How did you cut the head so there is space in the mouth? I understand the sharpie marks at 0:22 show the basic outline of where you cut the outside. Did you just estimate and guess the amount of space needed for in the mouth? 2. In the leaves of the stem, is there a sleeve? Or do you just stick your hand in? 3. When using modeling clay, I noticed that the thumb goes on the bottom half, and the middle three fingers go on the top half of audrey. Where does the pinky go? Other than that, you did a good job of documenting the process! This is the best video I could find!

so sorry I haven't replied. Just noticed I missed some comments. Yes I just hollowed out the head using a hot wire foam carver but you could try other tools. basically just left about an inch or so thickness everywhere. yes the stem is a green felt sleeve that I glued leaves onto. It is attached to the head of the plant as well. the thumb and pinky control the bottom half of the plant and the other fingers control the top and the tongue.

If you were ever to re-do this project again, what would you differently to make it better?

@masonbarton5 жыл бұрын
Good luck making yours. I hope it turns out amazing! The clay I used did not crack for me. I got the leaves and foliage from a Michaels craft store. Maybe Hobby Lobby as well. Tips when making the coat would be cut a small hole at first then make it bigger if needed. My jacket fitting was a total hack job. I made a fake arm out of packing tape. Theres tutorials about it. Basically cover your arm with clear wrap then packing tap on top of that. Cut it off of you and reattach where you cut. Then stuff with whatever. Do this in the bent arm position it will be in when holding the pot. Then I used more packing tape to sort or make a harness for the fake arm to attach to my shoulder. I hope that helps. I know its vague but like I said, it was a hack job. If I were to do this again I would come up with a better way to attach the fake arm to my body. I would also maybe make it so when the mouth is closed you don't see the teeth. Good luck! I would love to see how yours turns out.

@masonbarton7 жыл бұрын
No the entire head is not covered in clay. Just used the clay to make the lips and gums and teeth. They clay dries surprisingly light. I made a sleeve out of green fabric then covered that in fake foliage. I built the clay around my fingers before it was dry. That's why the puppet fits my fingers the best. If I were to redo this project I would maybe not have individual finger holes. The tongue is made from the clay as well. But to get away with not using as much clay i shaped some tinfoil to the shape i wanted then covered that in clay. I hope all this helps.

The biggest problem was getting the teeth just right so that the mouth would mostly close. I used a dremmel to trim them down after they had hardened. Also a good technique to use a dremel for any other details. Also, the whole thing fits best on my hand and fingers. If I were to make it again, I would maybe figure out a better way to make it more universally fit everyone. Most people can work the mouth but can't get the tongue to stay on. Good luck.

Thank you! I bought a plastic fake hand at a halloween store and took a heat gun to it to mold it to better shape it to look like its holding the pot. then repainted it to my skin colors. I cut out a piece of the pot about halfway down to be able to put my bicep in. I made a strip of the green felt that attaches to the pot and loops over my bicep to the other side of the pot so that the pot basically is attached to that arm and I dont have to worry about holding it with my other hand. I put foam in the bottom half of the pot that my elbow rests on and covered with green felt. I got an old jacket and cut a hole in the front next to where the sleeve starts. Thats where your real arm comes out of. Then I saran wrapped my real arm and then package taped on top of that then cut it off my arm. I taped together where I cut and stuffed the fake arm with old grocery bags. I attached the fake hand at the end of the fake arm. Build a nice shoulder area that can sort of cup over your real shoulder. Then I made tape belts that wrapped around my body so the arm felt real secure to me and wouldn't just fall off. lol. I velcroed the fake hand to the pot but you could glue it even. Anyway, hope that helps. You inspired me to take some pics and I'll post them on my blog post about this. That may also help. I know others have asked as well. Thanks for reaching out.

Hi, I'm wondering how you cut the foam head. I was inspired to create my own and I just recently bought a foam head off of Amazon.

Hi Mason, I was just curious how did you carve the styrofoam? How did you get it so smooth? I’m trying to make just the head for a door decorating competition at my work.

I used a hot wire tool to carve. good luck!

That is amazing! Did you use anything to prime it after painting? Looks shinier at the end
