Giant Papier-mâché Puppet Head


So i came across this website for The Puppeteers' Cooperative and am totally inspired and overwhelmed with all the awesome options for making cheap and huge puppets that they have listed there. Here's my first shot at a giant head.

I built the armature out of clay I already had from making the heads for human wack-a-mole and stuff in my recycle bin and went to work. It took lots of layers of corn starch papier-mâché using newspaper and torn brown paper bags, but I was satisfied with the process. Especially since it only cost 80¢ for cornstarch and is totally nontoxic!
