  5. 🤔📚 Ah, the ol' "create an imaginary friend for credibility" trick—Peter Navarro channels his inner child 👶 and does just that for his books. Who needs peer-reviewed experts when you can play #ventriloquist with your own alter ego? 🎭🙄

  6. "As the lobby mushroomed with figures of felt, wood, and PVC tubing, they formed a great chorus of flopsy and glabrous creatures that would not shut up."

  7. In addition to being a ventriloquist and the original voice actor of characters such as Tigger, Dick Dastardly and Gargamel, Paul Winchell was also an inventor. Over the course of his life, Winchell was awarded over 30 patents for his inventions, including one for the first artificial heart. #WyrdWednesday

  12. Update on the old ventriloquist figure I am restoring. I have a look in mind - a famous old figure whose look changed over the decades. Mine needed better ears. They will be on show, because the hair is short-back-and-sides. Now he won't be able to pretend he hasn't heard me when I speak to him. #Ventriloquist

  13. Time for some plastic surgery on the old ventriloquist figure's face. I keep telling him it's fine to show a bit of character after 90 years (or so), but he wants some of the previous "fixes" sorted out. #Ventriloquist

  14. I've started tidying up the eye cutouts of this old ventriloquist figure. One was damaged. I haven't decided what to do with the upper eyelids. Possibly nothing, shapewise. (Asymmetric eyes are common in old figures, and in people!) Each side took several tiny bits of paper. #Ventriloquist

  15. Found the work-in-progress photo of the hatch on the back of the head of this old ventriloquist figure. You can never have enough clamps - some gentle, some that will not be denied. 😉 #Ventriloquist

  16. Aiming to make the hatch on this old ventriloquist figure's head as neat as possible - something like.. one screw to remove it. The head has been restored a few times before I came along, and the hatch was badly cut and torn in two. He shouldn't have to suffer any more. Getting there. #Ventriloquist

  17. You're too close. 🤨 Move back. Way over there. This is closer scrutiny on the teeth than I feel comfortable with. The teeth of this old ventriloquist figure won't be seen so clearly. You'll only get flashes of the top teeth, and the bottom teeth (not in their correct place here) will mainly just show their top half. Move back about 12 feet and they look great. 😅 #Ventriloquist

  18. The feet of this old papier maché ventriloquist figure were definitely not made for walking - especially with the boot soles as they were, and the feet squashed a bit (side to side). I love the red. I hope I can do it justice. #Ventriloquist

  19. The hands of this old papier maché ventriloquist figure are at this stage - waiting for gesso and paint. One hand is still a bit flat, so I may steam it and pack it to improve the shape. #Ventriloquist

  20. Always good to check the "stuffing" of a ventriloquist figure's limbs, or any place where newsprint is exposed. "Evening World" was published in Bristol UK up to 1962. This little guy I'm working on is 92. 🥸

  21. This is where I'm up to on restoring the ventriloquist figure's body. All previous "restoration" work was falling apart. I've used various sorts of paper, and two glues. Most of it was hide glue (great stuff), but I also used a good wood glue . I incorporated all original material, and create a strong neck hole, recreating the chest and the rear bridge across the back of the shoulders. This figure is a hand shaker, so needs to be strong. #Ventriloquist

  22. Close-up of the eye. Although many papier maché ventriloquist heads look a little crude (and some are), many are also very precise, with 1mm tolerances. Here the papier maché thins right down around the eyes to.. paper thickness. The crumbling gesso has pulled some of the paper away, but this can be restored using part-torn/part-cut thin paper, with gesso built over the top. #ventriloquist

  23. #SomewhatSpooky / #Drawlloween Day 22: Ventriloquist

    Years ago, I drew this puppet lady effectively building herself. Never knew what to do w/ her... until now.

    I gave her a human daughter. = )

    In a bit of role reversal, she's helping out her mom in her stage act.
