I'm preparing a much more extensive post all about the most elaborate part of the show (mechanized peepshow, what what?), but until that's ready, here are some sketchy phone-camera shots of the main characters (bearacters?):
Bear #1, pre-eye application.
Bear #1, post-eyes (with bear #2 in the background).The next two photos come complete with the original Twitter captions (yes, I Tweet. It's a weakness of mine).
"Bear #2 now has eyes & has already started trying to eat the other curiosities. Damnit, bear!"
"I mean look at him - this is NOT a face to be trusted. DO NOT VOTE BEAR ON OCTOBER 25th! (Or Ford.)Overall, now that both are officially done, I'm thrilled with how well they turned out (it's always lovely when experiments go just the way you want 'em to!).

the most adorable things!
I want one!
What are these darlings made out of?
They've got skeletons of wire, newspaper & masking tape (papier maché is way too much work), then I covered the body base in fabric, kind of like I was performing taxidermy (except with fabric!).
It was a total experiment, but it thankfully worked out!
