Looks great! One suggestion... cut the eye pupil shape out of a piece of black felt (or black vinyl, or something similar) and glue it over the drawn-on pupil you have there. This will give your eye much more contrast against the white, it won't look gray like it does now, and you'll achieve a much stronger puppet eye focus when performing.

Keep up the great work.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but she looks like a Seuss character. Was he part of the inspiration?

Gertruse McFuzz is, in fact, a Seuss character.

Thanks! I have done that once before, with my Little Kangaroo puppet that I made for Seussical. I almost did that for this one too, but I sort of wanted to draw this on.

Yeah, she's one of the "other stories" from "Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories". She's also a main character in Seussical the Musical.

I tried to make the puppet in the white, blue and green color scheme of the book (like I did with the Elephant-Bird).

looks great!

Thank you!

Oh, and I might make a video of her and Morton and put it on YouTube soon! I'll reply to this again whenever I do.
