Smile Time Challenge

I watch Angel. I introduced Peter to both Buffy and Angel. Last weeks episode "Smile TIme" was so in my wheelhouse, it was piloting. I am a Puppeteer. I have been since the tender age of 2, according to my mom. I have always had a great love for the art form. I learned to build various types of puppets over the years, but my favorite is ye basic hand and rod puppet. I made a Dr. Who set I am very proud of. Various puppets in that set are with the actors who played the characters. I first met Neil Gaiman through a Sandman Puppet I did. Puppets have been good to me.

So in Smile Time Angel is turned into a puppet (by the same people who built the puppets for Crank Yankers I believe). My husband challenged me to make a variation upon the puppet they did. So I have a week to produce an Angel puppet. There it is. Maybe doing this will get me moving on the marionette heads in the studio.
