Crafty Tuesday Eleven Days Two Puppets
Or probably closer to 10 days and two puppets.
Which is my current goal for puppet making.
So a little over a year ago I met Billie Piper at a convention. She adored the puppet that I made for David to give to his wife Georgia of her character in Doctor Who. David told her about the puppet that I had made of his doctor. I asked her if I was going to make a Rose Tyler puppet, which outfit would she like?
Without a moments hesitation she said the 1950s outfit from The Idiot’s Lantern.
(For the VI this is a still from that episode. Billie and David are on a motorscooter. David is in front in a brown suit with light blue stripes, sunglasses and a white helmet with a black brim. Billie is behind him wearing a pink dress with a purple jacket and putting on a pink helmet. She is wearing pink framed sunglasses)
I said next convention we are both at, I’ll have it for you.
Well the next convention is MegaCon and that’s in 11 days.
So I am off to the races on this one.
I have done my preliminary research on the dress and jacket and have a pretty good idea how this is all going to go together.
The dress is relatively simple to make. The jacket is going to be a bit of a challenge but nothing absurd.
I am lucky that they had the dress on display a while back and there are plenty of pictures on the Internet. This seems to be one of the more popular cos-plays for Rose so some of my questions have been answered for me.
I am going to have to do one slight difference to make this look right but it will be under the jacket and not visible unless you take off the jacket.
No helmet.
The second puppet that I want to make in the same time period is a commissioned piece that the to be owner has been beyond patience with me.
(This is the cover of Aquaman #1 written by Peter David. Aquaman is being sucked into a whirlpool. He had green gloves, orange shirt, green pants, gold belt. His hair is blond and long and he has a beard.)
(Aquaman surrounded by predatory fish. He has a gold harpoon on his left hand and silver armor on his right side.)
I have the materials for this one and will be putting it together for Martin.
So by next Tuesday I will have progress photos and the Tuesday after that maybe some puppet adventure stories.
I am grateful that is it possible to find decent pictures on the Internet to recreate costumes.
