Finished shepherd 2, for the Cardiff Nativity

Work has been progressing well on the Cardiff Nativity. Here are some more photo's of one of the finished Shepherds. As he is one of three Shepherds, I've decided to call him "Shepherd 2". Not so imaginative, but it helps clarify things for now. In one of my first posts on the blog, there are photo's of the initial clay sculpt for this puppet. I'm pleased now to show photo's of the finished puppet. To give a sense of the animation and character, I've posted quite a few images that show a range of expression.

Development of the Camel for Cardiff Nativity

Having done some more work on the Camel I thought I should post some more photos to show how the Camel is developing from initial design, to polystyrene sculpt, to fabricated head. I've also been busy sculpting the legs from polystyrene.

Work in progress/Cardiff Nativity. Sculpt of camels head

Following on from designing the camel on paper, here are some images of the camels head i have been working on. This is an early stage in the process. Carved in polystyrene, the head will eventually be fabricated to take on the feel and texture of a camels head.
