I was really quite touched about how much love and kind comments puppet-Ned received. So here are some more pictures of him and how he was made.

Chilling in his cardboard box:

This creepy thing is his skeleton, so to speak:

I already had it lying around, leftover from the days when I took a stop motion class. Sadly I don't have any pictures on how I made this, but you can probably find tons of info online if you search for stop motion puppet building. It's made of aluminum wire, twisted together and epoxy putty for the 'bones'. Plus some foam and fabric strips to give it some volume. (Those nasty yellow stains are glue)

Now, for his clothes: I don't sew and knew from the get-go that it was impossible for me to make a perfect shirt and guernsey and his beloved greatcoats etc, BUT I had to put something on him lest he looked like a glue leaking mummy. So I got some Ken™-clothes (which we're way too big), cut them up and hot-glued them together. He wears a ribbon scarf to hide the gap between neck and body.

For the boots I took Ken-shoes, plus a strip from the Ken leather coat for the shafts. I filled them with hot glue and stuck them on his legs.

As a last-minute edition I made little band patches from the Ken clothes fabric. I simply cut them up, drew on them with markers and hot-glued them in place.

Now for the fun part: His head, hands and lemon are made of super sculpy. I really enjoyed sculpting his whiskers! Everything is painted with acrylic paint. I put tiny magnets in his hands so he'd be able to hold stuff, but those ended up migrating to his wrists a bit. Oh and the bulk of his head is alumininum foil, to make it less heavy.

So yeah, that's how Nedward was made. I didn't document the process all that well, but you get the Idea, I hope.

If you are looking for encouragement to build yourself a tiny blorbo, let this be it.
