: The Bellaphant - Bones!

Here is the frame for the body of the Bellaphant laid out in front of our house. You can see from the picture that she is big. Some might say huge. Without the trunk she measures ten feet head to tail, with the trunk it's close to sixteen. The two pieces resting on the ground will be attached to backpack frames for the two puppeteers. Tomorrow she makes her big move to Oakland.

: the Bellaphant - Here she comes!

A quick update on the Bellaphant. We are in full steam ahead mode. Starting to build out the face and trunk and we'll soon be working in a warehouse where we have room to assemble the whole thing.

Thomas and Ricky hard at work, gluing the first section of the trunk.

The beginnings of an eye!

Stay tuned for more developments!
