#muppet omens

[ashfae]

I went to a Good Omens meetup today.

We had a picnic in the park.

It was lovely.

I brought the Muppets that @amuseoffyre gave me.

Which means

that Crowley and Aziraphale

have FINALLY had their picnic.

SO THERE.

Good Omens Aziraphale & Crowley Muppets

Since I'd levelled up a bit on my skills when I got to these two, I thought I'd do an updated muppet build :)

Behind the scenes:

My materials:

1/2 inch thick reticulated foam (head)

3/4 thick reticulated foam (body)

contact adhesive

basic gardening wire to make the hands poseable and wire-cutter

beige fleece fabric for skin tones

short-pile off-white fur fabric and extra long-pile orange fur fabric

clear resin with white pigment & acrylic paints.

miscellaneous felts for mouth/features

a whole load of random fabric off-cuts to make the clothes

threads etc for sewing

felting needles

arm-poles (can be bought or made)

After building a couple of other puppets, I decided to try and do these two at the same time, because I'm a nugget. I also redesigned and shaped the heads and bodies for both of them, since Crowley is long and lanky and Aziraphale is softer and rounder.

It took a bit of fiddling with the fabric sizes as well but once the fabric was one, they both looked much better.

As you can see, the mouths look a lot neater than my first once. Turns out when the instructions mention a seam allowance is essential, you probably should do one 😅

While I did Aziraphale's eyes the same way as usual (white resin with felt eyelids/lashes), Crowley's needed to be more snakey, so I used a clear resin in the mould, then painted them from the back.

Next up was adding the hair. Short-pile is so much easier, because essentially, you are making a wig to fit the shape of the muppet's head. When you have a longer pile, it can get caught up in the seams and need some teasing out afterwards. Once they're in place, you stitch them on and style them as needed (I think it's ladder stitch - if it's done right, the seam should be borderline invisible)

For these lads I also wanted to style them in their iconic costumes from S1. Thankfully, I've also been learning to make clothes, so I was able to work out how to make Aziraphale's collared shirt and Crowley's jacket, although I will fully confess my sizing was a bit off because muppets are not the same shape as actual humans XD And conveniently, I already has Aziraphale's bowtie, thanks to a cosplay.

For something a little different, I actually used loose felt and felting needles to make Aziraphale's eyebrows, so I could give them a bit more shape and fluffiness.

And in conclusion, I'm delighted with them :D

As a countdown to S2, I plan to do the Ineffable Alphabet with my muppets :)

Almost entirely done with practical effects, except for the window lighting that I had to add in photoshop.
