Tuesday I made a pivot rod for the head of the mother. She will be stationary at the back of the stage and her head will bend foreward so that she can vomit into the mouths of the children. I made a hook on the back of her head to pull it into an upright position. Also, for more control, I drilled holes in the back to hold the wire for the eye mechanism and another hole for the string that controls the mouth movement. Then I drilled a dowel and epoxied it the the end of the eye mechanism's wire so that I could extend the range. For the eyes I used balls of epoxy clay. By tomorrow the things will have dried and I will be able to seal her up and get her paper mached. That shouldn't take long at all, so tomorrow I plan on spending time on the set or helping out with the other puppets. Oh yeah and the best part about the mom puppet is that her hose is in place... so let the vomiting begin!
