I have a commissioned piece (actually I have three) that I want to get done before the end of the year. <\/p>\n
But one of them is going to take a little longer because I have to recreate a set of tattoos on the puppet.<\/p>\n
So how does one tattoo a puppet? Haven\u2019t a clue but I have been thinking about it really hard. <\/p>\n
I have gone through a number of ideas and discarded quite a few. Various types of pens from Sharpies to felt tip have been played with. <\/p>\n
My friend Jeff came up with one solution that will work of creating ink jet irons of the tattoos and then applying to the fabric before sewing the torso. I love bouncing ideas off of Jeff because he always thinks of one or two things I hadn\u2019t even considered and that may be the way to go with this.<\/p>\n
I had another last night of using felt to recreate the rather intricate markings needed for this piece. That way the lines will match up with the form of the puppet. <\/p>\n
I have another challenge for another puppet where I need to make something that can be triggered and then put back together. I know one way I could do it but I don\u2019t think it is the best way to do it. <\/p>\n
For the third I have to find some yellow EL wire, which hasn\u2019t been easy to find.<\/p>\n
So I have been thinking and figuring out how I am going to create these rather unique puppets. It is an interesting exercise and I let my brain mull on it until I have a set plan. Of course when something goes wrong with set plan, I move to my plan B and so forth. <\/p>\n
I am grateful for people to consult on this sort of thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
