I have decided for the clown puppet to not be a horror clown, it just doesn’t feel right to put my effort and love into that kind of project, so am now rethinking who he is, if you have any suggestions I’m open to ideas, I want to source some audio or something t0 base him on, and do some videos with, if you have a project you thing he might work for please get in touch, he can be altered within reason!
He is a clown, made mainly from cardboard, who he is and what he does is open for ideas.
Head still to be attachedFog Jr is made of card and paper underneathThings get messyHe started off as an experiment, which is why he has cat ears at this stage
Peter was made in response to the Pembrokeshire Coast Charitable Trust artwork call-out, I am planning to make some short videos performing Peter at a number of beauty spots on the Pembrokeshire coast, which just so happens to be the area I was brought up in.

Sam was created for a friend in the Netherlands, we met whilst walking across Spain, on the Camino de Santiago, a 700km + walk, taking around 30 days, a memorable and life changing challenge, beautiful, inspiring memory that I have taken throughout my life, here’s my friend Françoise’s review:
“It was in 2011, Samuel and me met on the camino in Spain.. Just a couple of hours, waking and talking together. Nothing to lose.. only lots to win..
Little “Sammy” is born in 2023.. he is a little pilgrim.. Samuel made it after his little book specially for me! I am blessed ! He is such a good friend!”

Sam is all ready for the long walk ahead, including a conch shell, which is the ancient symbol of pilgrimsIt was fun building his backpack and other bits and bobsHis hat took a while to get right, and wide hats like this cause control issues to work aroundHead, pelvis and legs ready, wooden joints are beautiful and work very wellI used pine wood for Peter’s structure, as it’s easy to source sustainably and freeFirst things first make a plan
