Assembling rehearsal Loki for Odd and the Frost Giants.
While we were working on Loki, we kept joking that he looked like an alien caterpillar. Here is Jodi in front of the designs for Loki holding the naked puppet. In her right hand is the basswood control for the puppet’s head, minus the head. Her right hand is holding his hindquarters. The puppet has

Odin assembly: Photos from Odd and the Frost Giants
Sorry for the terrible photo. The pencil lines were too light to pick up and I was too lazy to go back and redraw it so you can see it. BUT this is the full scale side view of Odin as an eagle. You can see that I use two different colors of pencil. The

Odin’s concept and paper trials.
Here’s the rough design concept for the Odin puppet for the Stages Repertory Theater production of Neil Gaiman’s Odd and the Frost Giants. Odin was surprisingly difficult to design in this aesthetic and have him not look either cute or like Sam the Eagle. Really, I was annoyed by how hard this was. You can see one

Demo of Loki puppet for auditions
I wrote this up for Rob Kimbro, the director of Odd and the Frost Giants. He is auditioning actors and needs a rehearsal puppet. Loki is a very simple rod puppet. He has a rod in the head, a flexible foam body, and a rod in the tail. The puppeteer stands in full view of
