I had an idea for a blinking puppet so I got my mom to drive me to pick up supplies and I made the head in an hour. The problem is I want him to be just a head but I dont want it to just stop. Any ideas? I want to be able to make jokes with him about him not having a body  but he cant be a floating head it just loses intrest in my mind. I added pics mabey that will spark an idea. And also he doesnt have a name yet so if you think of anything dont hesitate to respond

So yo don't like making the body of puppets.... right?    I noticed that three of your pictures in the Gallery are just the head really. Just kidding with you.

I waited till I read the rest of the new post to answer this so I could think about it.  Really the only thing I could come up with a head on a silver platter, but what is wrong with a floating head?  I think that could actually be pretty funny if you joking around.  Boy what an air head.... get your head out of the clouds. 

Cody,
    You are doing a really great job.  Since comedy is not my strong suit I don't have any idea's for you.  My only thoughts would be to give him a short neck, so it doesn't have the appearance  of a furry floating head. Not as if that's a bad idea....I think like Shawn said there are possibilities there also.  Give him some time to grow a personality...a name.  Write him a life story so you can develop character.  What makes him happy, sad, mad.  What are his ticks....basically who is he? Then the jokes will come.

Great job! More because I do know now how hard is to work with fur. 

 

Keep posting your progress!

thanks so much and Shawn I like the idea or the head on a silver platter. You are correct making the body isnt my favorite part I normally just hold back on it and decide to do it in the future but this guy I'm just gonna leave the head. I'll see what I can do and the head on a silver platter gave me an idea of having a fake arm for him to "sit" on. If the platter doesnt work out I can fall back on the fake arm. Thanks for all the ideas.

@Julie I created a charecter for him but i haven't created a name or life story. I know I want him to be the grumpy type that gets angry all the time but has a few happy moments. reason being he says he has no heart so he doesnt care. He is going to constantly torment me and say I have about as much of a life as he has a body. I am going to work on aa rig so twords the ending of my show I will put him back in the case and suddenly the case is going to fly open he will peak over and yell "look I found a body but guess what, you still have no life" so he isnt going to be very friendly

thanks again for the comments guys

correction idea OF thhe head on the silver platter

I decided to go with the head on a platter. The platter is almost done the paint is drying. I took a crawfish tray cut a hole in the middle and spray painted it silver. will post pics soon,

here are some pics tell me what you think

Now if he was coming up thru the middle of a deep dish pepperoni pizza....................... Could make a foam pizza. Looks good !!!
