Awesome, all of 'em! :big_grin: Can't decide if Big Bird or Floyd is my favorite. Great, great work. :wink:

LOVE your work on Big Bird the most, but Grover came out fantastic as well!

Those are just amazing. Great work! I have to wonder how Big Bird works, as it looks like it'd be a tight squeeze to get a puppeteer inside.

Thanks for all the positive feedback. I posted a pic of him guest reading "The Monster at the End of this Book" at our local library. He had help with the pages though. Lol

Greg, I used a round head shaped pattern that was posted on here a long time ago by Gerbert. I basically made 2 half spheres, trimmed the bottom one down a bit and glued them at the back and then cut a hole for my hand. Grover's head is basically round but the mouth cut is just below the middle. The fur is from Mendels.
