Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Latex puppet madness???


I am still  working on a latex puppet head that's been imposing itself to 
me, instead of the Boglins style I was planning.

The Chavant plastalina sculpt is already well under way, after only one 
night of work.
see it here:
http://creaturiste.blogspot.com/2007/02/wip-latex-or-silicone-puppet-head.html

Chavant is hundreds of times better than the cheap fake plastalina I was 
used to. (I had modified a kids oil-based clay by adding vaseline while 
heated.)

Chavant is so much harder at room temp, and so much softer when warmed, 
without being soggy. I got it in a tan color, so it's even more pleasing to 
work with, I can see all the volumes and textures so much clearer. It can be 
smoothed so very well!

I still have the Noreen Young DVD (until the owner comes pick it up), so I 
can re-watch it and see what I might have missed.

I'd love for my puppet head to be bald, so should be one-piece, but Young's 
instructions call for cutting off the back of the head! I know it's probably 
to make it easier to mold and to remove the clay from the mold before first 
use. My head shape would not allow for easy scooping...
Any clue?
