I recently visited the Antiques Market of Bath and took a few snaps whilst I was there. It's such an amazing place with so many interesting things to look at. One stall in particular caught my eye and got me thinking about the feel of my upcoming stop motion project The Librarian. With all of the clutter and antique feel  I could see this as somewhere my character would  reside. I will keep these images in mind for when I am writing the narrative and designing the set.
 
I've started to prepare to make Jess' armature. These are obviously nowhere near the final designs but an initial look into what a Chinese Crested's skeleton looks like. I haven't made a four legged puppet before so this is quite an experiment for me!
 
I've found this really nifty little video by Nick Hilligoss which goes through the different types of puppet heads and their material properties. I had to subscribe to his YouTube channel...it's cram packed with lovely puppety wisdom!
