potato_headSo, for the puppet I have to make for class, I decided to go with an advanced finger puppet - one that you use three fingers for. I realized I had to make it kind of simple though because I just don't have the time to do a lot of sewing, and I am all out of practice :C So I made a fish! Three fingers should allow the operator to make it 'swim'.
I've got it partway done :D all the individual pieces sewn. I just have to put it all together, which I think I'll do tomorrow. But, I took photos of it pre-assembly! Both to show you guys and in case the teacher doesn't believe I made it myself...which I would understand, because who the fuck goes and sews an actual puppet for a web class, I think she's expecting people to like, make sock puppets and paper bag puppets and stuff, you know. But I watched too much Cardcaptors as a child and I have to ALWAYS DO MY BEST
So those are all the pieces. I have to admit I haven't made a finger or hand puppet before and really am not entirely sure what I'm doing, I'm just kind of making it up as I go along. But it should work...basically just a plush with finger pockets sewn into it, right? Can't be too hard...
Also, I took a photo of my workspace for you guys!
In that picture you can see all the things I use while sewing...on the far left is my wand (which is actually a chopstick, I use it for turning things out) and the black book is my sketchbook.
While sewing I've been re-watching some of my favorite Korean horror movies. I forgot how good the music for Tale of Two Sisters is. :D
