Crafty Tuesday: That Which I am most Proud of (Part 1)

[puppetmaker]

I floated a question yesterday on my blog and was asked one in return.

“What project are you most proud of? This can be solo or a collaboration you worked on”

Hard to pick one so I am going to talk about a couple of them. So here are two of the puppet related ones that I am very proud of.

I am putting this under a cut since there are a number of photos in it.


I am very proud of Littl’ Morpheus aka the Puppet Sandman. It was a puppet that came together so perfectly but also opened the door for more than one adventure I have had in my lifetime. I still have him since the agreement I had with Neil is that there are only two on this planet. Mine and his.

Little Neil and Morphie

(For the VI: these are two puppets I made. The one on the left has pink skin and is wearing a black jacket with black hair and sunglasses. The one on the right has white skin, red LED eyes, black feathers for hair, and is wearing a black cloak)

BONUS PHOTO
Little Neil and Neil Gaiman

(For the VI: The same pink puppet as in the first photo with Neil who is wearing a black leather jacket and has black hair. Both the puppet and Neil have their sunglasses raised.)

The second is the first set of Dr. Who puppets I build in 6 weeks from the airing of the TV movie until Dragon Con.


(for the VI: This is a photo of me sitting behind a bunch of puppets each based on a different actor who played Dr. Who.)

It was a silly bet that I won and those puppets have taken me some interesting places and made me some good friends. They also led to one of my proudest moments of performing when we did “Lord of Time” at the Dragon Con puppet slam.

The Doctor Who Class of 2012 (the forth time I have build an entire set of Dr. Who puppets).


(For the VI These are 12 puppets of various Doctors. I am in the lower right corner of the photo)

So those are a couple of things that I am very proud of.

I am grateful for having these photos to share.

Thank you very much.

Those puppets lead to some interesting times.

I remember when you made that first set of Doctor Who puppets. There were puppet parts EVERYWHERE! I also remember your squee of triumph when you successfully stitched together a wee frock coat for the Eighth Doctor.

I think I danced around the house. There was a lot of sleep dep on that project.
