Festifools Puppet!

So, my ADP class, I believe is the only one I've not posted about at all this semester because it is an "academic" class. Which means it's a lecture. It can thus be really quite boring. But Nick Tobier (the professor) won't let that happen to much! We are making puppets for the Festifools parade this weekend here in A2. Also, Nick keeps class interesting by doing crazy stuff like canceling the final! Super sweet.

Anyway, the puppet float. Our group (Team Can Opener we've christened ourselves, long story), is making a gypsy fortune teller who is going to hold a crystal ball in one hand and wave the other over the ball to make it see into the future! I know, super cool.
The puppets are made out of cardboard, lots of paper mache, fabric, and other odds and ends and are held up by bamboo sticks.
We started painting today.

The Hands with the base coat.

Long, bony fingers.

Luara (right) and Lucy (left) painting on the first greenish skin color coat. It wasn't working. We kept reminding ourselves that we could just paint over the last coat if it sucked. We repainted it twice.

Katie, our resident painter in the group, shows up and saves the day.

Applying the face.

The face as it is currently, with its not completed shaw hanging on it. We've got alot of work to do still on this thing before Sunday. Yikes.
