Other than the vague idea that I would like to make a female of some sort, there was no set plan of what to build. I went through all my things to find materials and ideas, but as I was living in shared accommodation there was not a great deal of items to use in puppet making. However, I did find some ping pong balls, felt, foam, cotton wool and the last of the old grey car seat fur fabric that was used in Fiesta's contruction eight years earlier. Further investigation came up with some Star Trek Spock ears, a set of vampire fangs, various ribbons and straps, a piece of metallic finish material, and under the stairs I discovered a small amount of chicken wire and few other little bits and bobs. As I had no job, the maximum amount of money that I could put aside after eating, rent and the ever important pub was £3.50. This was enough to buy glue and some children's clothes from a charity shop, but there was nothing left for any extras that I may need.

When I looked at the materials I had scavenged, I came up with a design for a hand and rod puppet werewolf and got to work. Following the methods I had perfected with my earlier puppets, the head was carved from the little foam I had to hand, but I hit a snag when I came to the mouth. I had no wire gauze, so I attempted to use a small piece of chicken wire instead. Although this was successful, it meant that the jaw was not as flexible as I would have liked. I cut the vampire teeth into two and put them at the top and bottom of the jaw for a set of vicious teeth. The head was covered in the fur fabric, and I used the bristles from an old paint brush to give feminine styled eyelashes and the Spock ears to give a werewolf look. The body was created in the normal way, but I attempted to give Isla more of a woman's shape. This was hampered by the clothes that I had bought, which turned out to be a little small for the purpose. As a result, the female shape is not as noticeable and Isla's arms are not as long as I would have liked, making them harder to operate. Her attire was completed with the straps, ribbons, and the metallic material to create a post-apocalyptic creature.
