I Make Monsters

By: Hannah White

Hello everyone!

Meet Elliot, my bird(?) monster!

Super excited to share with you all my senior capstone project at William Jewell College which would not have been possible without the wonderful video courses available on this website! Particularly the one featuring Bill Bryan and foam fabrication.

This was my first BIG project! I'm very proud of the result.

I combined bird anatomy with human anatomy and ended up with a form that was malleable, majestic, endearing, and even quite creepy. He was complete with layable balloon "eggs" which when popped had what we called "ominously positive" messages! Like a wacky fortune cookie.

It has gone semi-viral on TikTok, so I'd like to plug that as well. You can find videos of Elliot in action @hannahdaniellewhite on TikTok. Couldn't figure out how to get the video to embed here, so just linked below.

Please let me know what you think! And feel free to ask me any questions you may have!
