hope you’re excusing the phone camera…it sure does love making everything just a little bit yellow.

my hands are starting to hurt.  i think they’re just raw from the glue gun burns today and then later stabbing them accidentally over and over with the needle.  i’ve watched/listened to so many documentaries and episodes of intervention this weekend.  helps me not focus on the boring repetition.  anyway here’s today:

started with some heads needing their felt mouths.  i picked out some colors for everyone and got to sewing.

after i sewed the felt in, the heads sat and waited patiently.

i worked with foam today to make their mouthplates and foam skulls which will go in tomorrow.

after a little break i figured i’d see how many heads i could attach to the bodies.  turns out all of them!

i decided i didnt want to get the hot glue going again for the night, so i’ll give them their mouths and skulls tomorrow.  in the meantime, i got started on the paws.  i got half of them done before calling it a night.  and that’s where i ended up.  hopefully, tomorrow i’ll get the rest of the arms on, install all the foam and get to work on the face and character traits.  i should have some finished puppets tomorrow!  woohoo!
