STOP MOTION PUPPETS

Some photos of puppets I built for stop motion. I’m actually building the armatures with aluminium wire, 1,6, and brass tubes to connect the different parts of the body. Eyes in painted wooden balls, they can be animated with a little stick. Faces and hair in wool. A kit of wool eyelashes, eyebrows and mouths, give the possibility of animating facial expressions. I am focusing on this technique. I experimented silicon hands at Bau, master stop motion, but I actually prefer to use wool.
To see the animation of the puppets watch here. The animation you can find here are mine: https://giallovagare.art/stop-motion-movies/
