The people puppets are done! Admittedly, I was hoping the Id
monster would also be, but sadly it is not… yet.
After church, and making a delicious brunch of potato,
bacon, egg and cheese burritos, I set a goal of finishing the Id monster and
both the costumes for the people puppets. At first I was thinking it would be
beneficial to have a picture to go off of for the Id monster using the random
design I did for the foam skull, but then I decided I didn’t need to. Why would
that help? I have no idea how I want this monster to look. Then it hit me;
drawing a picture would be using my Id. Of course, by the time this thought
occurred, I was nearly finished with the skin and tentacles and horns and eyes
and only needed to add feather and fur and all the fun little features to make
it look as crazy as possible.
It was getting late, so I decided to start making the
costumes for the people puppets. In the end I figured I would use a Debbie Mumm
star field print with lots of wavy blues I picked up at Joann’s years ago for a
baby blanket I ended up going in a completely different direction on for their
uniforms. I made a simple dress for her and knowing that the doctor puppet also
had a red satin jacket, made that and hot glued a patch of the blue star field
fabric inside the jacket. There was no reason to make a full shirt after all!
That and the jacket was a pain in the ass to sew. I frakking hate satin with a
passion and this just further encapsulated that rage. I have a feeling my 1963
Singer Touch and Sew Deluxe Zig-Zag Model 600 sewing machine also has a
prejudice against the shimmery fabric as well. It falls into the same category
as hot glue in my craft book. Evil. Pure evil.
