Cauldron Witch Progress

[Scary Godmother]

Hi All,

Just wanted to post a video of my cauldron witch progress. It has been a long and VERY frustrating first prop attempt for us, with many re-do's and trips to the hardware store! Thanks to all who helped. I finally feel like we are making some progress. Still have a ways to go with costume, stirrer, hands,cauldron, etc., but I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Sorry for the lousy video quality, and please excuse my messy cellar!:jol:

Looks great! How is the head moving?

[Lilly]

the motion looks good...
are those eye hooks that you attached the arms with?

[Scary Godmother]

Thanks! Head movement is from deer motor mounted on right shoulder connected to a pc. of pvc coming out of a "t" on the back of the neck.

Thanks Lilly. I think those were called "o" ring bolts, got them at HD, but had to search for ones that came with a nut on the other end. Copied the arms from the ScareFX witch.:jol:

very nice. I need to make my witch some proper arms. I like yours a lot!

Thanks. I'm finding now that I have put the costume on her, they are kind of long. I'm afraid if I tell my son that we have to shorten them, he might blow a gasket, after it took us so long to get them going in the first place!:devil:

Thanks Dr. Morbius!:jol:

put some fingerless tattered long gloves on them that may help in covering the extra length

[Scary Godmother]

Good idea! I also did a quick stitch of a couple of sleeves to add too the length of the original costume sleeves, but I may try the gloves too. I would have to find some really large men's gloves as the monster gloves I am using for the hands are huge!:devil:

[Terrormaster]

She's looking good SG! I'm glad to see you finally got the stirring movement worked out. For the hands you could try your hand (no pun intended) at making a pair of corpse hands and painting them to match the mask.

Thanks TM! I think for this year I may have to stick with the monster glove hands, only because of time constraints. I have a bunch of other projects that I want to work on this year, and haven't started any yet. New hands will probably be my challenge for next year, since I have never tried making anything like that yet, my learning curve and re-do's could be extensive.:laugheton:
