Fairy Queen (2012, 2016)
I started with a Styrofoam wig head mounted on an armature made of one of those pop-up hampers. The eyes are made of reflective tape, so they really light up in a camera flash. The crown is paper, with a small light mounted to the wig head. The hands are light strings fitted into gloves. Later I added small wings outlined in EL wire, visible in the video below.
Second Incarnation
The body puppet concept proved impractical, so the Fairy Queen became a hand-held bunraku puppet in 2015.
