I build a lot of puppets for various reasons, but I rarely build one that is just for me with nothing attached to building it. I have puppets that I declared mine after the fact.
I also wanted to challenge myself to make a recreation of a puppet that I have loved since I was a child. Part of it was just to prove to myself I could do it.
I present to you Sherlock Hemlock Jr.
(For the VI: This is a puppet based on the Sesame Street character Sherlock Hemlock. It is a neon green puppet with a large pink nose with a mustache and hair of a bright long orange fur. The eyes are white ovals with black dots for the pupils. He is wearing a deerstalker and an inverness coat with a plaid pattern)
I am quite proud of him.
(Side view of the same puppet)
I am really proud of the hat that turned out better than I thought I could do.
I would like to give a shout out to Puppet Pelts for the fun fur I used and The Puppet Forge for the eyes. I will be going back to both of them for more materials.
(Front view of the puppet with mouth closed)
I am grateful for the ability to do this sort of work.
