B.A.R.K. Production Journal: Puppet Ears and Tongue, Step 2

Using the pattern as a guide cut out fabric for the puppet's ears and tongue. For the back of the ears I'm using the same terry cloth that I fabricated the head with. I'm cutting the shape about a half an inch larger then the pattern so I'll have enough fabric to wrap around the ear.





The inside of the puppet's ear and the tongue will be covered in Antron Fleece, also known as Muppet Fleece. The fleece has been dyed pink with Rit Dye.

Now it is time for me to make the puppet's ears and tongue - I'm going to be making them at the same time. Just as with every other part of the puppet, I begin by drawing the desired shape on a piece of butcher paper. The pattern is cut out and traced onto a sheet of foam, and then it is cut out with an exacto blade.
