Lady Fromage Rod Puppet, Part 6

Using the same technique as the top jaw, I've constructed the puppet's bottom jaw. Like the top jaw, it was made from two triangles of foam glued together in the middle. For this puppet the bottom is just slightly smaller than the top jaw.

Once the top and bottom jaws are constructed they are ready to be attached to the puppet's head.

Lady Fromage Rod Puppet, Part 5

This puppet has a long pointy snout. To make that I'm using two squared triangular shapes with a one slightly curved side. The two curved sides are glued together to give the nose a slight swoop. The squared tips at the narrow end of the puppets snout, are glued together to make it rounded.

Lady Fromage Rod Puppet, Part 4

The puppet head shape is nearly complete. To give the head a flat top, I've glued on a flat rounded foam shape to the center of the head. Next I added four small triangles to give the bottom of the puppet's head the proper roundness.
