Nice puppet. What was your greatest challenge in creating this one?
It's hard to pick anything out. I didn't have any kind of pattern to start with, but she was built over about four months due to orders coming in so I never got to a point where there was one thing that seemed to take forever to get around.

I suppose, thinking about it, the mouth was one of the most challenging things. I wanted her to be more shaped than a plain puppet, so I had to build in cheeks. But also i didn't want just a wide opening mouth like say Elmo. So getting the mouth right, and making it work with a smaller neck (as i also didn't want her having a huge thick neck) and less room to move inside were a close second.
