THE EMILY PUPPET MAKING FORMIOLI :

(FROM START TO FINISH...IT'S A LOT OF STEPS!)

ALUMINUM WIRE & FOIL HEAD

HANDS | MAGNETS IN FINGERTIP LOOPS & E6000 COATED

FEET | MAGNETIC HEELS/BIG TOE (BLACK HEX NUTS) & FLAT MAGNETS IN TOE LOOPS (SAME AS FINGERTIPS ), TIE DOWN IN BALL OF FOOT (SILVER 1/8" HEX NUT)

TOE MAGNETS IN

BIG TOE, ARCH & HEEL WIRE REINFORCEMENT, COATED IN E6000 (LIKE HANDS)

THERMOPLASTIC BONES & KNUCKLES, STEEL EPOXY AROUND THE BALL OF FOOT & HEEL (NOT PHOTOGRAPHED BUT YOU CAN SEE THE GREY SHINING THROUGH THE THERMOPLASTIC) & THERMOPLASTIC OVER TO SHAPE & CREATE NO-BEND ZONES

POLYMER CLAY SCULPTING FOR HEAD, RIBCAGE, & PELVIS

IN THE OVEN THE PUPPS GO & LIGHT SANDING AFTER

BELLY TIME | SCULPTING A BELLY POSITIVE OVER THE BAKED RIBCAGE THEN CREATED A MOLD IN WHICH I POURED THIN LAYERS OF LATEX INTO MOLD TO CREATE A THIN BELLY SHELL LATER TO BE FILLED WITH FOAM FOR FLEXIBILITY AND ALL THE PUDGINESS

BAKED BOIS, ATTACHED ARMS & LEG ARMATURE TO BASE THICK SINGLE WIRE ARMATURE, STEEL EPOXY "BONES" - KEPT VERY THIN TO REMAIN LIGHTWEIGHT

SHAPING THE MUSCLE WITH THERMOPLASTIC, COATED ALL OPEN WIRE WITH WHITE E6000, PAINTED WHITE TO BLANK OUT THE STEEL VS THERMOPLASTIC

BULKING UP ELBOWS, KNEES & FEET WITH FOAM (THE BENDY SPOTS) & WRAPPING IN THIN FOAM PRE WRAP

AFTER ARMS & LEGS ARE WRAPPED IN PRE-WRAP, I FULLY WRAP THE LIMS (HANDS & FEET TOO) IN SPORTSWRAP FOR EXTRA DURABILITY AND A SEAMLESS PRESKIN BEFORE LATEX

STARTING TO BLUSH THEM BEFORE LATEX COATS, NOTICE HANDS STILL HAVE LIGHT TRANSMISSION & YOU CAN SEE THE TENDONS

SEALING IN & SMOOTHING SEEMLINES OF SPORTS WRAP WITH MY BFF E6000

THEN FIRST COAT OF LIQUID LATEX ON ARMS & LEGS (AVOIDING POLYMER CLAY PARTS FOR NOW), BLUSHING IN BETWEEN LAYERS & BUILDING UP PUDGE WITH LATEX...LIKE THE BOTTOMS OF THE FEET & FINGERTIPS

PAINTING POLYMER PARTS & BLENDING THEM INTO LIMBS FOR A SEAMLESS ONE-COLOR BODY BEFORE LATEX

FIRST THIN COAT OF LIQUID LATEX ON PAINTED HEAD, BLUSHING & POWDERING JUST AS I DO BETWEEN COATS ON THE REST OF THE BODY

EARS | WIRE, THERMOPLASTIC, SPORTS WRAP THE COATING IN MANY LAYERS OF LIQUID LATEX...ADDING BLUSH & VEINING BETWEEN LAYERS

LOTS OF LAYERS OF LATEX & POWDER/BLUSHING

NAILS MADE BY PAINTING ON UV RESIN

BELLY TIME! I FIRST FILLED THEIR BELLIES WITH FOAM PRE-WRAP & CLOSED THAT IN USING UHM NIPPLE PASTIES...SEALED THAT WITH E3600

NEXT, I PUT ON THE LATEX BELLY SHELL I MADE EARLIER & WITH LOTS & LOTS OF LAYERS OF LIQUID LATEX I SLOWLY BLEND AND BULK UP THE AREA FOR A SEAMLESS PUDGY FLEXIBLE BELLY.

EYEBALLS MADE FROM BAKED POLYMER CLAY, CARVED & PAINTED & FINISHED WITH UV RESIN

COATS OF LIQUID LATEX & POWDER, THEN ADDING IN ALL THE FACE COLORS, VEINING & FRECKLES DETAILS

NAIL DETAILING | ADDING A CUTICLE WITH LIQUID LATEX AND PUSHING IT BACK, PAINTING A WASH OF COLOR & OUTLINING EDGES

MULTIPLE FINAL FULL BODY COATS OF LIQUID LATEX FOR A SEAMLESS SKIN

FINAL COLORING & VARNISH AROUND EYES & MOUTH

TEETH (FINAL SMALLER VERSIONS) THESE I MADE BY CUTTING THE TIPS OFF NEEDLES AND DIPPING THE BLUNT END IN PAINTS/VARNISH THEN STICKING THE POINTY END INTO THEIR HEADS
