Stages and Pics

Remember how I said I was going to (eventually) put up pictures of the stage and puppets?

Ooo!

About freaking time!

So yeah. Finished all but two puppets. I'll finish the next one by Friday, and I hope to do the crocodile as quickly (sloppily) as I am able. Also, will be doing the tent part of the project soon. And write a paper.

Wahey.

Early Christmas Presents!

This year, I gave myself an early Christmas present!

My first fully completed puppet! With a hook, and all the fiddly bits done!

See! I do occasionally put fun pictures up!

So, it's Winter Break in America, which can only mean one thing: panicking to get all my work done and not spending any time having a proper 'break'. Except Christmas. But any who, I'm planning on having all the puppets with the heads done by tomorrow. Also going to measure dimensions to get the fabric tomorrow. And paint the Punch and Judy sign.

Oh, shut up Joey.

Oh man oh man oh man

Every day I'm mache-ing, sewing, ear-aching, worrying, panicking, schooling and blogging on Wednesdays. Seriously. I didn't have any time to set up the stage and take a picture, as over the weekend my ear infection that I thought had healed relapsed with interest, namely an outer ear infection as well as an inner and a burst eardrum. I also had plenty of  homework due at school this week. And I'm now working on four puppet costumes. Also, I am working on my second-to-last puppet head. And when I say 'working on' I mean mache mache mache. I have a break for two weeks starting Friday, though, so I'll have more time.

Setting the Stage for Victory!

Oh silly titles make me happy. Yeah, so this week I got an ear infection known as 'swimmer's ear', but I pushed through it because on Saturday I had a meeting with one of my committee members in order to build the Punch and Judy stage. We went to a hardware store and shopped around for PVC piping, PVC glue and other products to make an easily transportable stage. The building of the stage took around five hours and in the end we built a frame that isn't full but still usable. I will probably get a picture of it by next week. It can also be taken apart and put together in fifteen minutes!

But anyway, I have also been working on puppets. Nothing new.
