Behind *sorta*

Yeah, so....
i'm working a job 70 miles from my house and it takes me forever to get home... i leave work at 3:30 and don't get home til 6:00... and it's kinda taking a toll on my puppet building right now... That and i just basically wasted almost a yard or 2 of fabric designing a robe for My Grim Reaper puppet... it ended up too small... and the hood doesn't fit right... the body is done...
trial and error i guess... or is it... all i really have to do is make a few extra peices and fit 'em all together so it looks like part of the costume...
Anyway, there isn't much else i can do at this moment... Just... Take it slow

I still have many ideas and they will be brought to life... Just slower than i thought
Later on Guys,
Bud

"The Grim"

go to rrgrim.blogspot.com for the latest updates on The Grim project... i updated today... i figure i'd make separate blogs for the production of my puppets... more organized that way...

here is a quick pic... talk again later,
Bud

Polly

Here she is: Polly... The sock eating, Meowing occasionally, puppet...
She had pink eyes on the (ping pongs), but the color didn't match the nose, so i took them off and replaced them with buttons...

And after i was done, i hate this part and don't like mentioning the name, she ended up looking like ELMO... Dang... why me... i now have to add some other stuff to her... maybe not because my daughter likes her just the way she is... i still can't catch up to Billy to take a good pic of him...

Anyway, another one down... more to create... and costumes to sew... and The Grim (as i like to call him)
Later,
Bud

ditched the original polly design; made new and The Grim Reaper

Meet the New Polly design... what you can't see here are her (white ping pong) pink eyes... she was playing bashful with my daughter's hat... Polly's twin brother, Billy, is around somewhere... once i can get a good picture of him, i'll post it... (he's a quick one)

next up another project i'm immersing myself in... hoping it's done before Halloween...
no wait...
will be done by Halloween

the Grim ReaperHe's still in production... all the pins are gone and he awaits fleece; or another material (i havent been able to check out fabrics much)... Because of all the shapes, curves, and whatnot... i wasn't going to try and produce a sewing type pattern for the specs of his old noggin... just gonna drape some fleece, cut, sew, repeat... i'll have more updates as i go along
