Foam Sculpting for Puppet Making--Part 1 of 3

This video focuses on sculpting foam for making detail features on puppets. There are others methods that you can do as well but this is a nice variety to give you some ideas and methods used in todays puppet making. Please comment and rate the video that will keep me motivated to make more video's. I taped this live on the Internet with a room full of chatters.....I am not talking to myself....lol.

Happy Puppet Making.

@azazel559 I have no clue on that I have not looked into any method involving fiberglassing at this stage....sorry I don't have an answer to that.

[SlashSpider]

is there a website you use, to buy foam in blocks/cubes?

[StiqPuppets]

I really truly have no resource for foam on the Internet.....I get all mine locally at a shop so I have had no reason to go that route. I wish I could help you better on this. Thanks for asking.

Hey what tools do I need to sculp the foam then, is it a dremel you are using then??

[StiqPuppets]

@terriblesesame yes it is a Dremel tool with a flexible neck attachment....you really need the attachment to make this method work.

@SlashSpider Walmart sells cubes, softball size, and other shaped pieces of foam in the craft section. And i've also seen them in the fake flower section of other stores also.

[StiqPuppets]

@wvgitpicker Is this a soft foam or a hard foam? I use a soft foam to carve and not a hard foam...I don't believe this method will work on hard foam only on soft and squishy foam.

thanks and would u happen to know if these types of foam molds are good for fiberglassing?
