My Lefty:

here

and my inspirations was these:

Lefty the Salesman

and one of my favorite cartoons:

Rocky

I used the Pinhead pattern from Project puppets, I was going to build his costume from scracth but i had everything already made. I blew the pattern up a bit to make it bigger and easier seen from stage.

That's a really good version of that puppet. Nicely done!

How did you make the hat?

I used black felt,

I basically made a short top hat and smoushed it into that shape.

it's very simple the hard part is measuring amd getting the seams right.

I'll get some close up photos for ya.

He looks really good. It's almost like instead of being the little guy on the street, Lefty made good and got into the 'Family' business. He makes me think of a mobster. Great work.
