HIPPO TIME

I have some thrilling news! Cevin and I finished our first hippo puppet for our senior project! He's full or error and will definitely not be used in our final production, but we've been working on him for a few weeks so it's cool to see him complete.

Check this guy out....


Look how happy he's making everyone...



Here is a snapshot of the mold we used to make him. Maybe it'll help you understand the process a little bit. We sculpted him our of clay originally and then used that clay sculpt to make this mold. Then we used this mold to make a foam puppet. Presto!

I like how you say "presto" as if it were easy. Which it was, obviously, not. Cute, cute hippo.
