Bunting

I made some home made bunting for my window in my Uni house, I used old bits of fabric. 

Drawing of pin up girl

Bibby And Bunny

This is how I made my Armatures for Bibby and Bunny and there friends, I start off with twisting wire together. Then cut up K&S for the joins of the armature. When I got the body for the character that I wanted, I glued it all together and then put milliput around the top half of the body and the bottom half as well.

Then I started to pad it out with foam and then padded it out even more with toy filling so it would give it that effect of a really toy when I animated it.   

 




Started bleaching the clothes to make them look old and ragged.

                                   

For the fur I put coffee and tea to stain it, then start to rub it with sharp stones and walls to get the rough look.

Once they were dry I would start to pin the cut out clothes pattens that I made. Then started to cut out it out and sew them together. 

 

once it was I sewed together, I put it on the armature to make sure it fit nicely. 

For Bibby I did the same for her clothes. Then put it on the armature. 

 With her hair I sewed her hair strand by stand into her head. then put lipstick on her cheeks for blush.

 I did the same for Ed the elephant, and I was very pleased how he came out, I made the ruffles by just sewing all different kinds of material together, and sewed sequins and jemmies.

This is what my class mate Saeed made of me for Bibby and Bunny, this is peter the polar bear, if you want to check out how he made it go to he blog:
