Cow heads for Irish Butter Advert!

I recently made four cow heads for an Irish butter advert. Old cow, Keen cow, Lady cow and New cow. They are made from plastizote, foam, latex and fur.

The cow costumes were made by Pearl Legay-Clarke. 

Some pictures from the shoot.

For this horse I was given a few reference images of medieval horses with metal armour. Working from the images I developed this design. The armour is all made out of plastizote, coated with idendon and painted.
Designed by Hayley Grindle.

I carved the bird puppets feet out of plastizote and then used Varaform on top in two halves to cerate the shape. I then joined the Varaform feet and covered them with fabric, latex and paint.

Huge wooden floor! I really enjoyed painting this, many glazes and layers, I also used a home made rocker to create the wood grain.

Potted Pirates Golden Snitch costume
