1. Sock Puppet. I chose this sock puppet as one of my final three puppets as I really like the simplicity of it and yet how effective the character can be. Not only this, but I feel that because it was one of the first puppets I made on the module, it shows a starting point as from this point the puppets began to need more skill and attention. 2. Hand Puppet. I particularly liked this puppet as I feel that I learnt a lot from the process of making it. Because it started out as the small foam puppet, I chose to model over the foam using polymer clay which gave it a smoother, more realistic finish and this also allowed the paint to dry with a better finish. Not only this, but I was able to see through this puppet how a character could develop - it started life as a happy elderly woman and ended as a Scrooge-like elderly man in his pyjamas. I also enjoyed making the the clothes out of such a simple shape and material and seeing how this added to the character. 3. Large Foam Puppet (Maud).
I seem to have become quite attached to Maud in particular. Out of all of the puppets I've made over the past few months, I feel that I definitely invested the most time into making her. The process of carving her foam head was by far my favourite out of the different techniques that we have tried and I really like the finish that using paper-mache has given her surface.
