A picture overview of the process of making my puppet:
The plasticine sculpture (sculpted over a skeleton made of brass tubing)
Preparing the head for a plaster mold
The head ready for pouring plaster
One of the hands after a successful plaster pour (half of a mold)
The ball and socket armature that I hand crafted (using a blow torch, a jewelers saw and a lathe)
Forming the puppet's body using foam (clip-foaming)
and after pouring silicone into the molds...
