Monster puppet!

Monster puppet!

Oops I did it again!  I love making puppets!  I used the same green foam with a round head pattern.  black fur and pink fleece.  

I actually used spoons for the eyes!  I found the idea on pinterest! Of Course!

 I cut the handle off and smoothed it with a nail file. Then added some of the pink fleece  curled it up and black fur on top to finish the eye lid.  I then used colored sharpie markers to create the iris. 

He turned out pretty cute!  I'm excited to make more!

For each blog post I want to see how you are developing as an artist. Pick three Artistic Behaviors and provide evidence about how you’ve used each one. Evidence can include photos of finished artwork, images from your sketchbook or work in progress and should support your written response.

Throwing on the pottery wheel is really hard work! 
They took 2 weeks to learn how to center and pull a cylinder.
