CraftyTuesday John Constantine the Puppet

There are times that an opportunity shows up which allows me to make something that has been in the back of my brain for a while.

This was one of those occasions.

Peter was going to a smaller convention in Virginia Beach called Tidewater Comic Convention. Matt Ryan who played John Constantine in the cancelled series Constantine and went onto playing the character in so many different things was also going to be at the same convention. I have enjoyed his version of Constantine. I think he nailed the character and mannerisms.

So as a thank you I decided to build a puppet for him.

I am grateful that the puppet went over so well.
