New Puppet Idea...



Well for Pete's Sake (even though I have no idea who Pete is...maybe he will be one of my next puppets) I am the worst at keeping up with a blog...SERIOUSLY! :o(

Well, I've been looking around Etsy.com and came across a really neat shop. Here's the link:
http://www.marthaland.etsy.com.

She (being Martha) creates miniature slugs and snails of all sorts out of polymer clay. I'll be honest in saying that they are so (and I mean SO) Cute! I had to buy a couple. I am expecting them in the mail any day.

Anyway, I thought to myself, how cute would it be to make a puppet that looks like a slug?! Well, I'm working on it. I've made my first attempt with much success, but I'm just not sure about the tail. Seeing that it is a puppet, the tail at the bottom wouldn't really show below the curtain (or stage) that the puppeteer is using thus the tail is kind of pointless....so like I said, I'm still working on it. Anyway, I've attached a picture of the little guy (please disregard that he's pink and a guy). Many manly men wear pink...
