Theater work - the unicorn







Many people who sees our ETSY avatar ask about the unicorn icon.
some people commented that we should put a photo of one of our dolls in our avatar. well, it is one of our dolls...
The unicorn is a life size stilt costume that we have made for the "Balbalu street theater company", its one of our favorite creations and I sure hope the pictures convey its beauty and magic.
The unicorn is mostly Amirs hand work, he was sculpted from dense foam and than covered tightly with cloth. its a highly accurate and demanding process and it was very exiting to see this one come to life in the workshop.
The actor stands on stilts in the hollow unicorn, on the saddle there are fake legs so it looks as if the elf is actually riding the unicorn.
The unicorn is so realistic that it creates the exact effect that i am looking for in everything i do, it balances between realities, not here and not there, enigmatic and unreal - the stuff that dreams are made of.
