Another Project

Well, today I sat outside and cut out the eyes, jaw, and back of the head on two of my new character's cast heads. I tried out a couple of sets of the new eyes I just received from Mike Brose at Puppets and Props. I really like the Bright Brown! I think this character is going to turn out really sweet! Take a look. MontanaDan

Future Projects

Well what to do on a rainy day? I Know, make more heads! Today I cast five more heads for future projects. Between the first and second character I have created a total of eleven cast heads from two original clay sculptures. I have two complete Ventriloquist Figures, "Edgar Elkhorn" and "Oscar Orangeblossom" for sale right now!
You can find them on The Ventriloquist Central Marketplace. Just look for the Market Place and you will find many Ventriloquist Dummies for sale. also at my own web pages under Figures For Sale 1 and 2, in my Links Section. Let The Games Begin. MontanaDan

Headcast Success!

Here are a couple of pictures of my newest cast head from my new character. The silicone mold came out much better then the first one I did, and the headcast came out Great! Stay Tuned! MontanaDan

Character Two

Tonight I made a new silicone mold and plaster mothermold of my New Character.
Not sure what he is going to look like finished, but tomorrow I am going to cast a head. I will post a new picture after that. MontanaDan

Four In A Row

Well I made four new cast heads this past weekend. Starting to look like a production line, LOL. I ordered more eyes from Mike Brose at Puppets and Props, so when all is said and done, I'll end up with a total of six of these characters that have been created. I think that will be it for this guy. I am still working on a new character sculpture. I will keep you posted on that one. Have a good day, MontanaDan
