How to Make a Marionette Face

On behalf of Expert Village. I am Emily DeCola. I am here at the Puppet Kitchen in New York City and we re going to talk about marionettes. Unlike her, err body it may appear that her face is also made out of wood. It is in a sense. What I used to make, to sculpt the features of my marionettes is an initial; I do in initial carving in blue foam or pink foam. The insulation foam that's kind of hard you can buy them at the hardware store. And I and I apply a thick layer. Or many layers of a homemade wood putty which is a recipe that I learned from my teacher. A combination of sawdust and joint compound metals cellulose wallpaper paste. Which you to get the hardware stores. Some glue and celluclay. Which is a paper mocha pie.
