For this project I am going to be making an element for my final puppet I do. Inspired by the Handspring Puppet Company I want to make a puppet similar to their style.

I will be creating a Tasmanian tiger, also known as Thylacine, puppet. This animal has always interested me; its form has so much personality and with a fascinating back story it would be a fantastic puppet. The challenge will be to translate its expressive movements into a puppet form. This is a short video that you will be able to see the movement of this magnificent animal.
The first step for this project is to make the head through serial slicing. I will then bring it to boundary and hand carve it to the shape I want.
This the the head I took from the model bank and after I filled all the holes and capped the caps.
Then I sliced it up with grasshopper
And this will be it sitting in the shop waiting for me to care the shit out of it.
Finished gluing, next carving.
