Because we were so short for time, in the end I moulded Sven's head out of plasticine and Don let me make a little silicone mould for it but then Anna cast the foam in it so I could go off and do the Laser cutting of the grates and grills. I didn't mind doing this because it's not like I've missed out on learning a skill because I still got to use silicone and we have already cast with the foam before, and Anna didn't seem to mind doing this so it was all good. It was a little sad that Sven had large air bubbles around his nostrils, but I think he would be a very pock marked human if he was alive so I didn't mind.
Although Anna cast and painted the faces, they were quite green so I gave my head a pink overlay of paint. I also used plasticine for eyeballs.
I was really proud of my elasticated waistband on the trousers. And the swishy cross panel on the shirt. I hope next time we have more time to make clothes this was one of my favourite parts. So excited for extended practice to revel in this. We made sure that even though we weren't making the costumes together the puppets looked like they belong together by using the same material.
