Crafty Tuesday the 9 Days until Christmas 2013

Yesterday I made two puppets for a friend for her grandchildren. They had to be able to stand up to toddlers. I am pretty happy with the result.


(For the VI this is two puppets. The one on the right has brown hair and brown eyes. It has a shirt with monsters all over it. The one on the left had light brown hair and blue eyes with a blue shirt with trains all over it.)

It felt good figuring out how I was going to make them and then executing the idea. I haven’t done that since Rumple and Gold.

I have a wacky idea that I might do a couple of versions of. Think Raggedy Ann and beloved fan characters. I need to do some sketching for me to see what I can come up with. Rag dolls sort of. I also want to see how small I can go with the dolls I learned to make from Wendy Froud.

Ideas I have in spades but I need to get these ideas out of my head and into this world.

I think this next year is going to see more and different work from me. I need to get some of the characters in my head out.

Off to do some research.

I am grateful for clever ideas that work.
