So! Its been a bit since my last post. Fear not! I have been busy. I have been very busy! This, of course, is the puppet builder’s dream. I was approached by the leader of a children’s ministry for a church in Toronto, Canada to build four animal puppets for them. They planned to use these animals in a series of Christmas productions, so the deadline was tight! I worked tirelessly for a month on these; sculpting, patterning, dying fleece and building mock ups. These puppets were all going to be unique, but they had to look like they belonged in the same world. I dyed colors for each puppet after much experimentation, and added the doll eye pupils to make the group look more cohesive.
Enjoy these photos of the crew, and remember to contact me with any questions about having your own custom puppet built.
