Hey everyone check out this hamster puppet that Patrick just finished. I think he came out so cute. You can't tell from the picture (thanks to the magic of Photoshop), but he is actually a rod puppet. The hamster ball spins around him and he remains stationary, so he can roll around the stage: http://swazzle.com/blogs/2006/04/meet-hamster.html

Thanks. No, his body parts don't move. He's stationary and the ball rolls around him.

I love it!

I envy the amount of time and efficiency that you guys are able to get these puppets made. It must be great to have your brother working with you on getting them all completed. Please let Partick know that I really think the puppet has a strong "hamster essence". Not sure if that makes sense, but I look at the puppet and clearly know it is a hamster; not as easy as one might think when trying to build a rodent puppet.
