Puppet Accessories


I finished those odd space/robot helmets I've been making for Dylan's puppets!
I think they turned out pretty cool considering I just used what we had laying around the house. (Of course, our house has plenty of arty stuff laying around.) Plus, I discovered a cool metallic paint that did a great job! It's Martha Stewart's Multi-Surface Acrylic Craft Paint. It stuck to all my surfaces (metal, paper mache, paperclay, plastic, and glass) like a champ. I base coated everything with flat black spray paint, so I suspect that helped. I was able to use regular ole acrylic paint for all the details too. Don't you just love it when things work out? I'm not allowed to show you what they look like on the actual puppets though on account of Dylan wants to keep his video stuff hush hush until it's all done. I can't wait to see what he's up to!

  2. FAB! I cannot wait to see how these pieces are used ~ I have become a huge fan of Paper Hand Lincoln and am spreading it's name like Buttah! (I listen to your songs whilst creating...)

    LOVE that you use what you have on-hand...me too. Hardly shop anymore. One day, my house will be a blank canvas for me to start all over again with :)

    Blessed be ~

  7. They are awesome! Do you ever have problems with paint flaking when parts are bent, or is it all pretty rigid? Then...how do you het it rigid? Lol.

      I really don't have that problem, Kim. Maybe it's because I use acrylics?
