O.k today I had help for a change, and we built part of the base of the puppet, remember this thing has to eat people, so it should be able to handle 200 pounds easy.  anyway, we built the base structure I will add more to it later, but the is the part where folks who get eatin will exit out the puppet. need more tweeking of coarse, and the other pic is a pic of the bottom half of the pod, with new renforcment, and thats my friend who helped me today.

O.k so I've taken a break from the large puppet for my head hurts from it, and I finished up the second Audrey puppet, the one that Seymour holds in the play. the one that will eventually have a fake arm attacted to it.

any way here it is
and if you want to see more pics of the construction click on myspace link below and look for the Audrey pic and click on it

Very COOL!  But it makes my head hurt just thinking about having to do such a HUGE project!  But it is fun watching someone else complete it!!  Will be waiting for the completed pictures!

Now thats a project. Has Audrey eaten all the space in your house too?

Keep dem pics comin'

I actually have use of a studio, the theater guilds audition building, where they store all the stuff.
it's kinda creepy there though, but I don't think it's haunted.  the theater it self is definatly haunted though, I included a pic of it, it's really old, as old as the town which started as a logging town back in the day.

Wow, what a beautiful theater! I wouldn't mind living in that.

Whoa!  What a beautiful theatre!!!  I love the arched doorway.  How many seats does it hold?

Not sure how many seats there are, and living there would be interesting, and very sleepless, I't extreamly creepy, old victorian creepy, but still very cool and beautiful.  theres actually been reports where folks would be walking by at night and they would see someone walking by the windows, yet no one is in the building.
here's the web site for it by the way-

anyway, I have more audrey construction. I was planning on taking the day off from it, but that didn't happen, I started work on the third puppet, the one that is second to the #4 audrey plant that eats folk, this third one only eats arms and legs and such.
anyway, I used the same plastic tubing as on the #4 audrey and drilled holes and wired all the peices together, then duct taped over the wire.  took about 4 hours.
then I stopped for, well it was time for bed.
what you see in the pic is the inner top and bottom of the mouth, like the hard board piece you would use in a regular puppet. next I'm planning in adding foam sheeting that will be stuffed with cotton, basically the same thing I did with #2 audrey.

It is a beautiful castle I really love the historic look.....and to be allowed to do a show in it would be amazing.

Thanks for taking the time to show us this eye candy of a theater.
