Creating and Making the Characters
Hard at work creating two Jonathon Arbroath characters for both summer and winter scenes
The creative journey of Stephen Arbroath, from the making of the head through to the finished character. Each stage of creation takes time and an eye for the detail. The heads are made first, then the hat is fashioned. The bodies come next, followed by the clothes including shirt, tie, trousers and then the coat or cardigan. Then all the elements come together and that is when the magic happens, the character comes to life!
The process to create the two Stephen's took about two weeks
Now Stephen is ready to join his friends in Feltbury Green whether that be in winter or summer scenes
Making Rolo the Choc Labrador
Rolo from idea through to completion
Starting with the nose first, the head is next fashioned to include the ears and eyes. The body is made using pipe cleaners and felt stuffing. This is then overlayed with the dark brown felt and hand stitched after the tail has been added. Once the body is finished, the head is put in place and secured
We now have a completed Rolo ready to play his part in the scenes of Feltbury Green! Good boy Rolo!
