I keep adding images and things to a packet to send to you, still!<BR/><BR/>I'm hoping you'll flow with me somehow and end up making the puppet for the film at the right moment for you. It's safe to say there's no rush as the pace is terribly slow around here.<BR/><BR/>Please wait for my package and then we can make a Flowering Thought puppet just right!Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-65080041604035266302008-11-10T18:32:00.000-08:002008-11-10T18:32:00.000-08:00Thank you so much Mr. Nick!

I peeled the embossed fabric leaves apart from 2 of the six I bought and glued them onto the remaining heads, painted them with porcelain stiffener liquid and them painted with several greens and edge tints of wine color.<BR/><BR/>A friend told me years ago that half HA! the trick of prop making is finding things to use in the right scale for your project, and embellish them (that last bit is my idea).<BR/><BR/>I made more veggies that I'm posting up not, so, check those out shortly AND for a real treat of miniature cabbage making please take a gander over at Stephanie's blog! Holy cow! She's such a fine artist! She used rice paper for corn's sake!<BR/><BR/>http://www.forkstudio.com/blog/?p=870Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-4428464759238755882008-11-10T18:31:00.000-08:002008-11-10T18:31:00.000-08:00Hi ShelleyI just love the pomegranates - thanks fo...Hi Shelley<BR/>I just love the pomegranates - thanks for stopping by my blog I've missed you :)rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03512246349634501652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-78869521773674913922008-11-10T16:55:00.000-08:002008-11-10T16:55:00.000-08:00I can do peas, carrots, potatoes, simple things li...I can do peas, carrots, potatoes, simple things like that...<BR/><BR/>But how on half-earth did you do the lettuce, with the blushing crinkley edges, and those yumptilicious pomegranates?

I just fin...Thank you, dear Elva!<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Stephanie! I just finished painting a real dried cabbage core (desiccated in silica powder for weeks). It looks completely real, which doesn't work for Halfland. Shall I send it to you as a project totem?!<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Justin! <BR/><BR/>LOVE the picture of the little child with the Obama headline, Mark! What a great image! I'm saving some iconic images for a journal of these days and that one goes in! Thanks for sending!<BR/><BR/>So touching, gl! What you said there means the world to me.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Ms. Carlson. So nice to hear your remarks! I agree wholeheartedly with them.<BR/><BR/>Small scale, Rich!?? HA! These props are H U G E! compared with most stop mo sizes, even your recent directorial one. I like to work at this scale because I can get in to render the amount of detail that satisfies me. I can work smaller, but this size gives me more to work with so the stuff doesn't look as simple. Stylized as the rustic look requires here but one could go way more reality like. Have you seen things like this hand-made tool box---couldn't find the link. It was the most precise and exact replica of reality I've ever seen. The only way you would know it was miniature work would be if you saw a penny in the same shot.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Jeffery!
