I carved out the inside with a hot wire foam cutter. Hope that helps.

Awe. You’re so sweet. Thanks for the boost of confidence.

Thanks so much

Love it!

Same!

Thanks. And good luck on yours. I used a hot wire tool.

Love the play so much! Thanks for the comment. Good luck.

@@masonbarton thank you!

I used a hot wire. The gums the teeth went into was the DAS clay. The lips too. And teeth.

@@masonbarton Ah! Tysm, I was curious about that! I watched the movie recently, and because of that I wanted to try and make a hand puppet as well just for cosplay and/or Halloween. So I've been looking at this video for inspiration on how I should maybe do some parts :))

The DAS clay. Tin foil inside to use less clay

@@masonbarton oh that makes sense! for some reason in my mind i assimed it was a sillicone material

really? I haven't seen it. not cool.

@@masonbarton it's such an amazing Audrey that having it mass marketed seemed off I forget the keywords I did to find you. I reported to fb but their 'report ad' is so vague not sure what will come of it

Thanks for the kind comments. I did paper maché for a few reasons. 1 - I like that it makes all the added elements looks cohesive. 1 - I like the subtle wrinkles it does. 3 - It protects the foam and gives a better painting surface. Especially if you use spray paint as that would eat the foam. The hinge you are referring to is just extra green felt I just hot glued on. I did coat the eyes and teeth and inside the mouth with a high gloss varnish and the rest with a matte finish. As far as the hand and arm construction, maybe check my blog post about this. I posted more information there. amasonsayswhat.blogspot.com/2016/10/audrey-ii-from-little-shop-of-horrors.html

@@masonbarton Thank you Mason for your reply and for sharing your secrets. This seems to be my latest mission.

Thank you! I bought a plastic fake hand at a halloween store and took a heat gun to it to mold it to better shape it to look like its holding the pot. then repainted it to my skin colors. I cut out a piece of the pot about halfway down to be able to put my bicep in. I made a strip of the green felt that attaches to the pot and loops over my bicep to the other side of the pot so that the pot basically is attached to that arm and I dont have to worry about holding it with my other hand. I put foam in the bottom half of the pot that my elbow rests on and covered with green felt. I got an old jacket and cut a hole in the front next to where the sleeve starts. Thats where your real arm comes out of. Then I saran wrapped my real arm and then package taped on top of that then cut it off my arm. I taped together where I cut and stuffed the fake arm with old grocery bags. I attached the fake hand at the end of the fake arm. Build a nice shoulder area that can sort of cup over your real shoulder. Then I made tape belts that wrapped around my body so the arm felt real secure to me and wouldn't just fall off. lol. I velcroed the fake hand to the pot but you could glue it even. Anyway, hope that helps. You inspired me to take some pics and I'll post them on my blog post about this. That may also help. I know others have asked as well. Thanks for reaching out.

Not much at all. Maybe half the block? I used it for the lips and the teeth. Takes some getting used to but it dries super hard and didn't crack or shrink on me. Wet your fingers to smooth it out. Good luck.

@@masonbarton Did you use it for the gums to stick the teeth into?

@@silverpslm oh yes. and the gums. sorry forgot about that. hmmm and the tongue. been a while.

@@masonbarton Did you use the full styrofoam head, minus the neck, for the face? Using a similar bust and not sure if I should just cut it in half, or stop at the grin and go up.

@@silverpslm I used the entire head. I cut off the neck. Its basically cut in half. I also remembered that I used some of the DAS clay to sculpt around my fingers.

Good luck! I hope it turns out great!

Thanks so much for the compliment. I would consider commissions.

Thank u for the kind words. I don’t have any to sell. Sorry.

Thanks for the positive feedback! Its held up well. Granted I don't like play with it daily or anything. But its good solid material. Would imagine it will hold up just fine for many years.

awe thanks Sarah!

I used a hot wire tool to carve. good luck!

Thank u for the compliment

Its basically paper mâché. I used a mixture of water and Elmers glue then just a non texture paper towel and cover everything then let dry and prime for painting. I like the texture the maché gives and makes everything look cohesive. You could google how to make spell books for more information on the technique. I just notice you ask this question a while ago and I never replied. sorry. hope this helps.

Thanks for kind words.

so sorry I haven't replied. Just noticed I missed some comments. Yes I just hollowed out the head using a hot wire foam carver but you could try other tools. basically just left about an inch or so thickness everywhere. yes the stem is a green felt sleeve that I glued leaves onto. It is attached to the head of the plant as well. the thumb and pinky control the bottom half of the plant and the other fingers control the top and the tongue. Hope all this helps. thanks for the comment

what do you mean exactly? did you watch the video? I tried to show all the materials I used.

I went to my local craft store michaels and hobby lobby and looked thru all their faux plants and flowers. found some with wire inside that I loved to be able to shape how I wanted. loved that I found those light green dangly ones. The ones on top of the head were from some fake leaves. I liked their plastic stems so I ripped away the leaf parts and kept the plastic stem/veins.

thanks! Its on my list to try and make a mold of it to make duplicates. obviously going on many years now and still haven't . maybe one day. lol

you're so kind. thank you
