Mystery Box

This week was very hectic. I tried to make the heels once again out of milliput, this time making it directly onto the wire. However, it did not set in time, and whilst I tried to dry them out overnight, one of the shoes fell off. On Monday I had to cut off parts of my puppets legs off (The foam and skin), Brake off the Milliput and sand it down. I then formed the Legs wire into feet. Because of this, my puppet became greatly shorter and less like her original design. I then began making her feet again, (the fourth attempt) using Milliput. This time a much simpler design without heels. I left it to dry and collected the next day, (In an over 24 hour period of time) taking her feet to be drilled by the 3D workshop, enabling her feet to be pinned for balance when it comes to doing the stop motion.

Once the hard part of the feet was done, I focused on sorting the head out. I repainted the front, painted the added wooden block black so it was less noticeable, added white foam to the head on the damaged white paint and made the eight ball decoration part by painting a black eight on white felt. I then carried on adding other details to make my puppet more like her planned design, I decorated the milliput feet red, added red glitter glue on top, and added the rose buds I made from the previous Fimo shoe, removing it from the previous attempt to the new shoes. I added accessories to the hat and gloves, and additional glitter paint to the skin.

Also in the same week I had to shoot my stop motion piece. I managed to make it on time, however had trouble keeping her balanced. The Pins would not hold her down. Causing great difficulties, to the point I was unable to make a walk cycle and had to use a green sponge to hold her up!
