hi I have never made any puppet before and wanted to start small so i took a 50 cent sock puppet and a 50 cent pig plush toy and made this, I got the ping pong eyes from the dollar store and the felt and glue i had as well as the hair from a sample .I wish I would have taken some before shots, but its my first ever making muppet type eyes and sewing I kinda like how he turned out I'm calling him hockham :smile:



a shot before the stuffed toy body

still want to try and find some fabric that matches and make a sleeve and put black felt on the bottoms of his feet

very inventive first shot. shows the level of non-liner thinking I feel that's needed to make puppets....Love the pig!

Looks great what a fantastic first build and a very inventive way to do it. He's very cute well done.

I likey. He's so cute and great.

And ahem, is it bad that as soon as I saw that one pic, I turned my laptop sideways and began reading the DVDs you have there? :stick_out_tongue: (Some nice ones, btw)
