I just dropped this handsome beast off with his new family. It was quite the fun process patterning and building my first mask. It was similar to building puppets in a way, but with its own set of challenges. Anyway, I’m pleased with how he turned out. Take a look at some of the process below!
If you’re in Wisconsin the weekend of February 27-March 3, go see Beauty and the Beast at Lakeland Union High School in Minocqua!
A couple years ago now, I collaborated with my good friend Scott at LARK Toys in Kellogg, MN. He’s come up with these fantastic little creatures that come down from the Driftless Region bluffs and help out around the store. He asked me to make puppet versions of a couple of them to help bring their story to life in a different way. Here’s some of the process!
I built Walter for my trip to Yeah Field Trip, where we rocked the lip sync battle together. Nothin quite so crowd pleasing while miming “Hungry Like the Wolf” when you have an actual wolf with you on stage!
