Puppet Show and Tell

[wes]

I was woundering do we have thread where members can post pics of their puppets and tell their stories, just thought it be a good idea to start a Puppet show-n-Tell Here just to centralize it! I know alot of members post their pics. here my new child:

We call him Scrappy because he was made out of scraps i had around the workshop. I had a Insprational moment and created him! It took me about 4 hours to make

Hey Wes,

I like him a lot. I even commented to myself about it looking good and then I saw it was your new avatar. I am sure that some people will mention the eye placement, but I think his eyes give him a wonderful quirkiness. His eyes reminds my of one of my earlier puppets named Mooshoo.

Super job Wes!

Is the eye placment off? I try to get it as close as possible! He was going to have very Beaded eyes, but my wife said these look better.

He looks great i wouldnt say the eye placement is off.

I try to keep in mind the magic triangle, But i didn't think he needed a nose.

 

[Lab Rat]

your right he doesnt need a nose it make's him look like a young character

Great puppet, wes. It's wonderfully expressive.

Did you make the shirt, or is it a children's shirt?

 

[wes]

I got it from another puppet, it's actually to big. i need a smaller shirt i just hated naked puppets. I wanted a horizonal stripe shirt Like ernie.
My inspriration was Roosevelt Frankilin off Sesame street , but the same time i tried to make it my own.

Doesn't any one else have a puppet they like to show!

 

[mrhogg]

That's very resourceful.

I want to show mine, but I haven't yet posted enough to the forum to show my links. Soon!

They are not off, in fact I like variety in eye design. They have a different effect than say Elmo.

Which is nice.

I agree with your wife. I think they look better than beaded eyes might.
