the ears are made from thick foam which was covered, i need to make the puple spikey tips

tail (Posted 10th February 2013)

the tail was a complete pain to try and cover! who knew that a spiral would be so difficult to make, after sewing and unpicking my fabric 3 times i eventually sat down and hand sewed the whole thing!!!!! at least it looks right now :)

tail (Posted 4th February 2013)

the tail is the most complicated thing, i have made a frame using a plastic pipe, covered with pipe insulation, which is then wrapped with wire.

body progress (Posted 4th February 2013)

the only way to make the body was or me to pin and cut the fabric to the padding,i need to add the sleeve and legs to complete

feet are complete (Posted 4th February 2013)

finished covering the feet

paws (Posted 4th February 2013)

paws nearly complete, just need to add claws

head covered (Posted 4th February 2013)

the head is covered and the eyes are attached, she looks so cute already! next i need to attach ears and nose

feet progress (Posted 20th January 2013)

i carved these feet out of thick foam, i think the toes need to be a little more rounded though

eyes (Posted 20th January 2013)

to mske the eyes i have cut up some cheap plastic bowls from asda and painted the under side of them, The black parts of the eyes will be covered in a see though black vinal that you can but for car head lights

head side (Posted 20th January 2013)

side view of head

head progress (Posted 20th January 2013)

i used some expanding foam to create the nose/jaw for gatmon, the eye are a little too big so i will make them smaller

padding (Posted 13th January 2013)

i put the head and body padding on together to check that the scaling looked right, next job is feet

body padding (Posted 13th January 2013)

I also put two pillows on the back of the padding so i am fat all round, it just needs shaping at the bottom now

body progresss (Posted 13th January 2013)

for the body padding i used a nice cheap asda price pillow covered over with a thin piece of upholstry foam

head progress (Posted 13th January 2013)

i continued the process until the head was completly covered and nice and rounded

head progress (Posted 13th January 2013)

once the expanding foam is compltley dry i removed the manniquin head and started to cover the outside in pieces of foam to get the nice round shaped head.

head progress (Posted 7th January 2013)

because the head is very round i thought it would be easiest to start with a card hanging basket as the base, i then created a foam helmet which i glued inside the card with expanding foam. its very light weight and comfortable.
