Labyrinth's Ludo Puppet (with process)

[heroic_]

That was excellent! Boggles the mind

How do you make the armature? There is one, right?

I love these.  You should sell them.  Between the worm and Ludo, I think you could make a killing.  I love that movie too.

Well, I put some tinfoil on the inside of his face to save clay, and I just sewed the body with felt before covering it in fur. There's some posability in the arms and I did that with copper wire. Hope that helps!

Wow.  That's all I can say.

[Kimmermonroe]

FANTASTIC. I love that movie. You did a GREAT job.

 ... Want to make me a Jareth puppet?

Just kidding... sorta.

Fantastic Ludo.  I'm also a huge worm fan.  Clicking- "This Rocks" right now...

That is indeed super great. Hooray! Well done! What kind of clay, for the head? Polymer clay, or something fire-able?

Fake fur is indeed a beeeyotch to work with. I learned from somewhere a very clever trick: when you cut it, use a razor blade or X-acto knife and cut from the back/woven side. That way, you just cut the backing and not the tips of the fur, cleverly avoiding Tiny Pieces of Fur Everywhere.

Ahh! Good idea, thanks!!!
The clay is Super Sculpy, which is a polymer clay (it's the best in my opinion)

This is great work! I love the details and I think you did a great job working with the fur! I love ludo...almost as much as the fire gang:)
