I just realized my second video refuses to load for whatever reason: here it is again!

Muppets, Movies, Cannibal Puppets

In this post, I've put a short video I made of a puppet throwing up, a stop-motion shadow puppet film which took about 9 hours to make and lasts about 40 seconds. I also added some photos of a couple puppets I made of fimo clay and pipe cleaners! The green one is named Scotty puppet, as you can see from his press photos he's on guitar in a rock band, with Kit. The photos are misleading as he rarely tries to kill her with his electric guitar. 






Head shots

I'd like to put up a "head" themed post today, to go along with my previous skull themed post. After all, where would one be without the other? All shrivelled up, that's where.  

 Medusa: some days your hair just won't co-operate
 A stencil of an old photo I have: yes, it's two policemen holding hands.
A funny idea I had about a girl who's a serial dater, but can't seem to let relationships go. Her ideas of interior design leave something to be desired, I think. 

tiny Tiny skulls

 I think I tend to do these blog posts in huge shoves! Today the first are going to be several pictures of tiny tiny skulls I made for my "seven places" project. No actual animals were harmed in the making, but several blocks of Fimo Clay were viciously sliced up. Lately I've been thinking about making them tiny automata bodies of wire and string to dance with.
 Alas, much of my art consists of poorly concealed puns.
 This is the skull of the fierce Tyrannosaurus Rex. Travel sized!
 This is the clay skull of a mouse, it's about the length of my thumbnail.
 Here's my Hodge Podge Museum of Imaginary Craniums: It's made from an old M&S biscuit tin! and some cardboard!
 This is a very small bear skull (Ursula Minor)
 A Hugely Happy Warthog
 I believe this is a disease ridden camel
 This was my original sketch idea for my tiny museum
And here's the disease ridden camel, again, only now he's Photoshop-ed for purty-ness
