FF Two Against Three

Got this idea from Ted Kautsky and an article in an art magazine. Ted showed me the importance of the three value system. The magazine article was about pitting two of those tones against one. One tone should be dominant--over half the drawing. The other two tones fill in the rest, with one of those taking over half that space. See further comments below.

FF Garlic & Shallots Series

Got a new sketch book in Berea, KY. The others were packed. Way too conspicuous, 8 x 11, hence the still life. But the paper is great. See the comment below.

One of the major differences in quality is the mouth. Not only on the inside, but the outside as well. I sewed the fabric. I didn't glue it. To me, that gives it a "cleaner" look. It's a little harder to do than gluing, but it's worth the effort. The blue puppet in the photos below isn't finished. He is missing hair and ears and details inside his mouth. In fact, all of the puppets could use a little more finishing work.

More puppet fun!

The blonde puppet and the spikey hair dude (below) are the first two puppets I ever made. I'm glad I found their pictures. Here are some more. The mean looking one is supposed to be a vin Diesel puppet. I made it for Tracy for Christmas. The stop two were my first puppets with a new pattern. I'll post again to show you the difference in quality between a few of my puppets.

Puppet-Tastic Journey

Someone asked me about some of the puppets I've made in the past, and that took me down memory lane. I tried to find photos for as many of them as i could. Unfortunately very few of them are completely finished in the photos, but they are close. Enjoy!
