Audrey 2 construction begins Posted by Orindae on Jan 04, 2008
I have finnaly started the audrey 2 little shop of horrors puppet, I'm doing the large one first, the theater guild here in menomonie wisconsin finaly gave me some money to buy supplys, I have no pics yet, keep forgeting the camera.  anyway the bottom half of the pod is under way, I'm using plastic pvc tubing 1/2 inch thick to build the basic skeleton. then I'l duct tape the entire piece and cover it with batting and felt. 
and of coarse some metal bars here and there for support.


I'll keep all you folks posted as I go, and I'll try and get photos.  the puppet I built previously that I posted on here was no good, to much construction and such I ended up trashing the whole bit, but not before salvaging parts.

the plays in febuary by the way.  and I have four puppets ta make.

Looks great!, is the red material wire?

the red is pvc tubing, but I did use wire, I got the thickest fence wire I could find and fished it through some of the tubing like around the base and down the middle so it would hold it's form.
I'll probable have updates almost everyday for I only have less then a month to finish it for the play.

01/06/08 today I finished off on the top half of the pod, or at least the outer part still need to give it more inner structure, I put down more pvc tubing and gave it a lattice duck tape job, next I'll hot glue some cotten batting onto the outer parts of the pod. and of coarse the inner structure.

o.k I got some more pics, cause I'm working like a mad man, and yes I am getting burned out quite a lot with this puppet, but it is turning out cool.

anyway,new additions to the puppet, I gave it a fabric coating, and then covered it with cotten batting.  and other then that I started on the base structure that will support the puppet, basically just cut a bunch of lumber, I don't have any picture of the lumber though, because , well it's just lumber!
anyway here's the pics.
