Started to make a new character; Little Steve.
He is going to be a guitarplaying marionette with moving eyes, mouth, and righthand fingers. The whole idea should be getting it's form by using as much reclaimd materials as possible. First things firts:


There used to be ping-pong balls in here. There used to be some salty goodies in here (need 3 of those)


So...using the ping-pong balls packing to hold his future eyes. Some cutting and some glue..and a head is getting some shape.

I'll guess I will post the work on this project at the and of every new step.

cool, im interested to see how this turns out, its always great to re-claim as much as we can and i think kit takes great skill to make something wonderful out of what people call 'junk'!!

This is going to be fun to watch! So pleased you decided to include us in you adventure.

I'll have to bookmark this thread Thank you so much for sharing. Please keep posting pictures of the process step by step.

Using a hotglue pistol....makes is easy to build layers..... Still, just a tranparant shape.


The packing of a little spotlight......is used to make a nose.


Until now only re-used materials give the little fellow a profile. The lid fits in the bottum...making a mouth. A big mouth...I guess he's gonna be a singer to...

That's not fair! I spent most of yesterday eliminating clutter and throwing out stuff like this.  Seriously though it looks pretty awesome.

Very cool, can't wait to see the finished Character.

Now...we use the ping-pong balls as eyes. Just trying out the right place for his eyes.....so he can sleep.


...be awake.........................Mouth open..............................mouth shut
As you can see the packing of the ping-pong balls also provided his cheeks.


 

 

How exciting! Keep 'em coming.

More please!
