Work in progress: Angel Gabriel, Cardiff Nativity

Here are a some more images of work from the Cardiff Nativity. I've been working on a puppet head of the Angel Gabriel. The head has gone through some revision, which was necessary to develop a more otherworldly character. I decided I wanted a neutral expression, that would help create an aloofness, and hopefully a sense of serenity, and higher purpose.
Here are some photo's of the progress in desinging /making the head of the Angel Gabriel.It began with a basic clay sculpt for the head, which was used as a cast for the lighter paper form shown in the images below. This was then fabricated & painted to take on the finished look of the Angel Gabriel.
