We will start with the first one I built... Duncan the Green Dragon
He was built in October of 06. He has gone three variations since then:
10/06:
A few months later I modified him to be a little bit bigger:
12/06
At this point Duncan was turned into a half puppet however I still wasn't happy with this version. So a year and half later Duncan was modified again into his final version:
2009:
Next on the list is a puppet that I made from the left over green felt:
Zorbmania: ( this puppet is based off an old cartoon character I used to draw)
The next puppet was also made from the left over green felt as well:
Lava Lamp:
He's not used that much.
My next puppet was Emerald the Baby Dragon:
He's made from a green microfiber fabric and my son's old black long sleeve t-shirt!
Emerald has been used multiple videos on you tube.
My next puppet is probably one of my most popular puppets: Uno Die
There are currently Two versions of Uno Die
Uno Die has his own show on You Tube called: The Uno Die Show @ www.youtube.com/rcdspoon
The next few pics are of puppets I have made in order to increase my puppet making skills:
Next on my list is one of my personal favorites...technically not a puppet, but still a favorite...It is the robotic dog from the old TV series Dr Who. K*9 is his name...within the history of the show there has been 4 models or versions...Mine is a copy of the original from 78. I use to have one that was made from cardboard when i was in the 6th grade...
Now here's a few pics of K*9 beating me at chess...
The next puppet is called Scorpi: I was attempting to do a scorpion insect.
By October of 07 I was ready to make a new puppet for Halloween and I came up with my first human puppet "Capt'n Hook".
After Capt'n Hook was done I started on my next project Nigel...A young dragon currently attending college.
Nigel also has been a part of many videos as well. He makes occasional appearances on The Uno Die Show.
Next on my project list was the demonic opera singer known as Minion!!!
His favorite opera was of course Phantom of the Opera
My next project was another dragon by the name of Raif!
My wife was the creative consultant on this puppet... Her name is Ella:
In the beginning of 2008 I got into marionette puppets...I made three different ones... An alien marionette, a dragon for my girls birthday party and one did for a Christmas video. That character was based on a Skesis character from the dark crystal.
Dragon Marionette from my girls 5th birthday party:
Alien Marionette: (there is a separate blog entry on how to make this very simple marionette)
I do not have a picture of the Skesis inspired marionette character so here is the video I made with him.
In October of 2008...It was time for a new Halloween puppet...This year's theme was Little Shop of Horrors...
So I decide to build my version of the infamous Audrey II:
My next puppet was a simple construction job of a cartoon fish that I used to draw...His name is Mo'gly (Because he his more ugly than the last fish we had)
A couple weeks later I found a great piece of fabric at Jo-Ann's Farbics... I decided to build my next dragon... Flame.
So with the left over fabric from Flame...I then created for the 2009 Halloween Project: "Zero" inspired puppet from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
So, there is all or at least most of the puppets I have made in the past 3 years... It's has been loads of fun making them and plan on doing tons more!
Oh, before I go... Let me show you my first puppet (I did not build this one) and a picture of a Halloween in front of a Yankee Candle Store during a Halloween in 2002 with Mr Fuzzy. he is now retired and sits in my office downstairs.
My mother-in-law had made his wizard outfit...
Anyway, there is my blog on my hobby of puppetry. Thanks for checking it out!
Sincerely,
RcdSpoon
Until next time Spoon out!
