This years makeup was a cartoony mummy that we were inspired by from a pin on Pinterest. I love the bright colors and simplicity.

Making of Carl Fredricksen Up Costume
Просмотров 8 тыс.3 года назад
I made one of these out of pink insulation foam and loved how it turned out. It got lots of attention and I even rented it out to many people all over the country. Someone even make a video all over the streets of NYC with him. But He was rough and I wanted to make a better one and also be able to make copies for anyone that wanted to buy or rent it. So this was my process. enjoy!
Audition Video for the show "Making It"
Просмотров 4473 года назад
I've created so many things over the years that I decided to send an audition video to be on the NBC show "Making It" with hosts Nick Offerman and Amy Poehler. While I didn't get chosen for the show I was glad I took the time to compile this video of some of the things I've made over the years. Take a look and maybe something will inspire you to create something as well.

Every year I host a Make It With Mason night where we make a craft or project. This year I made a mold and plaster cast of this skeleton plaque for everyone to paint. We learned wet and dry brushing techniques and had a lot of fun.

This is my third acrylic pour and on a much bigger canvas. I used some metallic paint for this one and it looks really great when it catches light.

Hi ! Is the foam head was empty inside? How did you make it so smooth inside ? 🤗
I carved out the inside with a hot wire foam cutter. Hope that helps.

Thanks so much
I'm being Seymour this year for Halloween! this'll be perfect ! having songs quietly play as I go trick or treat with twoey!!
Love it!
Same!
This is such a great puppet! Im making something like this for Halloween this year, and I was wondering what tool you used to cut the mannequin head and how did you make it hollow?
Thanks. And good luck on yours. I used a hot wire tool.
What a cute yet terrifying puppet! 💗😨
where did you get the plant pot? ive been looking on amazon for a big plant pot but i really cant find any that look like that and that are big enough
I think probably Home Depot or lowes. Try there.
Okay I now have a new art project
Made my daughter Halloween costume. Wish I could post a pic. Thank for toturial.
It never really talks it was cheap puppets
I’m interested as well. What’s your email address?

My art school is doing LSoH this year! I want to be in charge of puppet making and even puppeteering, and I’ve got a friend who’s even better at puppets specifically! I can do the cosmetics of the puppets I guess Anyway, I’m very excited and this was fantastic inspiration!
Love the play so much! Thanks for the comment. Good luck.
@@masonbarton thank you!
What did you use to cut out the inside of the styrofoam head to hollow it out, but get that curved out place to put all the teeth, and such?
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 :))
wait whats the tounge made of?
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
It looks like a random company on FB is using your video as their ad to sell Audry2.
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
Now I want one! Where can I get one?
Genius!!! Thank you for sharing your puppetry construction, and articulation skills to Make A2 come alive in front of our very eyes!! How would you maybe Rx to preserve the foam parts from degrading by use...It looks like you have maybe employed a bit of paper mache (at 1:10 in the video), tissue paper to stabilize the construction? Using the faux Amaranthus tendrils was genius! May I ask what is the hinge tape at the skull... perhaps linen art framing matting tape? please explain the faux hand construction...sorry, saw that in the bottom comments. May I humbly ask if you used a finishing spray? Love, LOve, LOVE!
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.
Nice

Hello Mason! The illusion is amazing! Would you share your tips for creating the "wrap around" hand portion?
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.
I love that movie still
I've never heard of DAS before. How much did you use for the puppet?
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.

This is great, just started making my own puppet and this is very inspiring. 🌿🍃👽
Good luck! I hope it turns out great!
Hes absolutely fabulous do you do commissions? 💕
Thanks so much for the compliment. I would consider commissions.
Looks Amazing!!!! 😀😃😄😁😆👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome work!
I can't believe this is this popular. I loved this when I was a kid. How much for one?
Thank u for the kind words. I don’t have any to sell. Sorry.
nice
Bloody brilliant! Hysterically witty and beautifully designed, I wish I could come up with adequate accolades for the time and attention you put into this puppet. Bravo! The video compilation was certainly well done, too. Had me laughing a few times.
Fantastic Job! I saw a recent video that K and T do Halloween did on a static man eating plant build and went to the YT rabbit hole to see if there was an animated version of one. You have set the bar. Congratulations. Do you still have it and how well has it held up as this video was posted a few years ago? Thanks for sharing!
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.
You are one of the most artistically talented people I know!! ❤️
awe thanks Sarah!
Hi Mason, I was just curious how did you carve the styrofoam? How did you get it so smooth? I’m trying to make just the head for a door decorating competition at my work.
I used a hot wire tool to carve. good luck!
This is the best video I have seen in a long time!! what a beautiful Audrey, thank you very much for sharing. xx Vicky
Thank u for the compliment
After applying the clay pieces and before painting, it looks like something was applied. What did you put on top?
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.
Wow! This is spectacular!
Thanks for kind words.
This is the best tutorial that I've seen so far! I just have a couple questions. 1. How did you cut the head so there is space in the mouth? I understand the sharpie marks at 0:22 show the basic outline of where you cut the outside. Did you just estimate and guess the amount of space needed for in the mouth? 2. In the leaves of the stem, is there a sleeve? Or do you just stick your hand in? 3. When using modeling clay, I noticed that the thumb goes on the bottom half, and the middle three fingers go on the top half of audrey. Where does the pinky go? Other than that, you did a good job of documenting the process! This is the best video I could find!
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
Question: What did you put over top of the styrofoam and clay? It looks like there was a layer after the clay dried before painting. Paper mache?
What material did you use for Audrey 2???????????
what do you mean exactly? did you watch the video? I tried to show all the materials I used.
What was used for the green vines om top
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.
Tell me you sell these!!! Love it!!!
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
Awesome job! Can I just pay you to make me one?
you're so kind. thank you
This is cool
What did you use to sculpt the foam?
hot wire cutter.
