Crafty Tuesday: The Idea Dump and beginning of the sorting

[puppetmaker]

I am going to do sort of a brain dump of all the ideas in my head right now for Shoreleave and DragonCon.

I will say that I have 3 puppets and about 10 outfits to sew for Shoreleave as well as this list. Two of the puppets are a bit more complicated than usual but it all should work out.

I do want your input on this. What interests you out of the list? What have you seen a million times? Do you have any other ideas?

Now remember this is a brain dump. I am not doing all these ideas

In the Puppet Category:
A Phluzzie or two
A Sarah Jane Puppet (not in the Andy Pandy Jumper. I am thinking more classic)
The three Mystery Puppets which I will be selling at DragonCon I think but one may go elsewhere depending.
A Firefly set of hand puppets (think Potter Puppets for Firefly)
A Scary Godmother Set (Yes, I have talked to the original artist about it so she knows)

In the Plush Category:
Ship from Ben 10 in its pet form (Dwayne saw the one I did for Caroline and gave me permission to make another. I think any profit from this one is going to go to one of the charities that Dwayne supported.)
Cuddly Kitsune
Another plush of the canine variety

In the Doll Category:
Caroline has asked if I can make some big cats this time
So continuing the Steampunk animals I had last years
Tiger
Lion
Cheetah
Siamese
Wolf
Snake
Lizard
Dragon
Owl
Falcon or Eagle
Fox
Rabbit
Cat
Frog or Toad

I don’t think there are going to be may human dolls in this batch. I will probably display Aviator Granny but I am adding a rocket backpack to her.

So that’s my thinking so far.

For a reminder of last years DragonCon Display. I refer you this album which contains last years table

I am grateful for some input.

I think the Ship plush is something I'd definitely be interested, especially given the loss of Dwayne McDuffie. This is done with McDuffie permission, that in of itself is pretty rare and part of it even goes to charity. Perfection to me.

That's my pick, although they will all be beautiful.

I like the idea of Ship, and the steampunk animals really caught my eye. I think a steampunk rabbit would be nice since it is the year of the Metal Rabbit according to the Zodiac. :)

From a marketing standpoint I believe the Sarah Jane puppet is almost a sure sale for sentimental reasons.

The Steampunk animals are wonderful! I'd like to see especially the dragon (it would be cool to include that one this particular year, since its the anniversary year, and Anne McCaffrey plans to attend.)

I also loved the Scary Godmothers... but I have to say that I've been amazed at all of the puppets you've created.

I think I can speak for several Browncoats when I say that the Firefly puppets would be in high demand.

Whenever you put them up for sale, I'll tweet excessively about it. :)

Here's the question. Do I do them as a set? Or sell as individual puppets?
