DiscWorld Dolls Day 7: RIP Andy Hallett

[puppetmaker]

But first here is a progress picture

(For my visually impaired readers, this is a picture of the three wyrd sisters and Greebo the cat before I put on the soft body that completes the doll. They also have to be painted before I put the body on)

I have a lot to do today but I have done it before and will do it again today. In fact I have done what I needed to do in Wendy’s class in a day so I am hoping I can do it here.

Andy Hallett is best known as Lorne Green on Angel. It is a role that was tailor made for Andy’s skill set and he did a great job with it. I met Andy a number of times over the years that he was at various conventions that we happened to be at. I even got him and Mark Lutz to come to one of Sean’s shindigs at DragonCon which he thanked me for the next day. The one short conversation I will always remember with Andy is when he met baby Caroline who giggled and cooed at him. He told me that Peter was going to have to polish up a big stick to keep the boys away because he could see that she was going to be a heartbreaker when she grew up. He will be missed.

Off to work on the dolls. I think I am going to work outside since it is beautiful although a little windy.

Another progress shot tomorrow.

I am grateful that I met Andy.

I *love* it when you include pics of what you are working on. I love seeing creative people and how their brain and creativity work you know? Sometimes it even gets me going!

What are the Wyrd Sisters made out of? I can see the wire, but is it some sort of clay?
They are looking really good so far!

They are made of Armature wire covered in paper tape (masking tape). I cover that with some form of polymer clay or paper clay. Greebo is paperclay. Magrat is Fimo clay. Granny and Nanny are Super Sculpy.

Those are going to be so cool when they're done :D

I hope so. They are coming along nicely but everyone has an image in their head of these characters. Esp. Greebo.
