Boy I love your work.
I know you, at the very least, offset your living by selling on ebay so you may not want to give away secrets, and not everyone who is a skilled crafts person is a great teacher. Still, I'd love to see some of how you do what you do. I can't recall if you do any training, but since you're in the uk it doesn't do me much good.

I still be very grateful to know a little more about your process. etc.
I love what you're able to do with your puppets.
On this one, is the hair fur? I know you've done amazing stuff with Ostrich feathers.

Labrat, what are you backing your spoon eyes with? Is it a layer of a dark material, with the spoon eye pierced through and attached? Or is the eye rimmed/attached with the stuff?
