Hi, love your work, just wondering how you made the leather face straps because they are amazing, also what did you use for the teeth in the last pic?

 

[Peter Haynes]

Hi there, the face straps are 1mm leather shaped with water. It has to be vege tanned leather to work, but all you do is get the leather nice and wet and then you can actually sculpt it with your fingers, and it holds the shape when dry. The teeth are made from sculpty in about 5 minutes

Wow that sounds like a really cool technique, and something i am gonna have to try.
Many thanks.

These guys just get better and better. Amazing job so far and some inspired techniques used to make each of the characters stand out in their own unique way. These same characters could have been made with bog standard, if well made, materials and looked just like any regular puppet but the attention to detail makes these some of my favourites i've seen on here.
