Gordon the 15' Great White
The center piece of our Homecoming decorations. Can't believe me and my dad created him in 4 days! Internal skeleton is 1/2" PVC pipe with 1/8" ribs. Cut and curved the cardboard like aircraft panels, seams covered with dry wall tape. Held together with zip ties and hot glue. The bottom was cover with frosted shower curtain. Lighted eyes and detachable fins.

Made this out of cardboard, flooring foam, and lots of hot glue for our "Under the Sea" themed Homecoming. It lives on in the life sciences classroom.
Grounder
I love the TV series "The 100", so I decided to make a Grounder costume. Found a coat and top at Goodwill and airbrushed them to look worn and "post apocalyptic". Made the fur boots, belt pouch, and accessories.

My latest Fantastic Beasts inspired creation. This one takes a while to make with the stuffed ribs and the spikes but I am happy with how it turned out.
Custom Mouse
Received a custom order for a slightly evil mouse. They liked it and want another!

Niffler
After seeing Magical Beasts, I just had to make a Niffler. This project was so much fun! After some sketches and patterns, I hand sewed most of the pieces, used felt for the bill and hands, and trimmed and airbrushed the fur. Took him on my recent tour of Warner Brother's Studios.
