The Bunnies are Here!!

Finally! Well, I didn't finish the hot pink one. I'll get that one finished this week, but at least I have the rest of them up in my shop. I've actually been pretty busy with a bunch of custom orders. I'm still working on those.


AND (insert excited giggling here)I just bought some more peach fleece so people puppet making HERE I COME!


I can't wait to start. I've gotten some more experience under my belt so I'm going to start working on some characters I've had brewing in my head for awhile. And yes, there will be one who is going to be a little bit nerdy. I've decided that I just like nerds.


I have two puppet patterns to use for them. One is the same pattern I used for my clown and the other has a head shaped like a football. Here's an image of the clown I just made and sold in an incredibly short amount of time. I was totally stoked!!

So that's what's been going on at Silly Toes Productions. Just tons of puppet making. And as I just changed my profile, it's been keeping me single since 2008.

Stay busy my friends! Theresa

It's raining Bunnies!!!

Actually, I wish it was raining men, but that's another story! So I am almost finished with my bunnies for Easter. Just wanted to show off a picture of them. I've added the eyes and now all that's left is to add the fur. I'm hoping to get them into my shop starting next week.
These would certainly be ideal for an Easter basket (hint hint-wink wink)!

Until Next Time!!

What oh what color hair to use??

Hi Everyone!
Well, I just made this clown puppet. I was so excited to make him. I think he turned out perfectly. But anyway, I have no idea what color hair to give him. Here are my four options: yellow, blue, red or pink.

Hmmm...which one to choose?!

Can't wait to get him into my shop!!

Tootles!!

Christmas came upon me this week...

So my dad said one day, "Hey Theresa, you should make a deer puppet."
I thought about it, figured out how I could make the antlers, and then it suddenly hit me.
Why make just a deer puppet when I can make a Christmas REINdeer puppet.
BOOYAH! Here's what I made.




I am just so diggin' this puppet. I especially like the scarf...I'm actually thinking of making myself a scarf. And then I thought, "Well, if you're going to have a reindeer you just HAVE to have an elf." So I came up with this little guy. I'm almost finished with him. He doesn't have eyes; just shaggy bangs, because he's a bit of a rebel. And I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with the "blonde" hair or give him brown...just not sure. And I still need to make some ears for him. He actually reminds me of a thin, hairy Ziggy.

But I finally, FINALLY found some peach fleece to make "skin"...took me forever to find it. Anyway, I'll be busy making more puppets. Just wanted to show you what I was up to. I'm still trying to think of a way to make a snowman puppet. I know how to make his head, but the body is still a puzzle to me. But I'll be adding my reindeer (Reggie is his name) to my shop tomorrow. Totally cool!

So thanks for tuning in! Tootles...Theresa

Working on this little guy for a customer!



This is a custom puppet I'm working on for a really nice lady in Canada. I'm also working on a princess puppet for her too. I'm still testing the waters with people puppets. They're a bit more time consuming but they do look pretty cute.

Anyway, I'm still working on other puppets. Taking Thanksgiving week off to make some more.

Tootles.

Just a picture of some puppies coming into my shop!

The two on the left have collars (1 red and 1 blue) you just can't see them and the other two are in sweaters. This is my basic Wyatt puppet. All I need to do is add their hair, sew their eyes and take pictures and get them into my shop! Hopefully I can do that this weekend!
Tootles!

My New Ipup Concept_a picture is worth 1000 words


This photo should give you a really good idea of my Ipup concept. These little guys are so cute! "Cute" seems to be the word of the day today.

I just love FREE!

Hey Everyone!

From now until I run out of them, I am offering a free Woobit with every puppet purchase. If you're asking yourself, "What in the world is a woobit?" well let me tell you my friend! It's a...wait...okay, so I really don't know what they are but they are MEGA cute! And they have a pocket in the back so you can stick a gift card in it or like me, I'll stick my business card in it!

AWESOME!!!

But here's a picture of what they look like anyway because I really didn't do all that great of a job explaining them.

New Puppets and new prototypes

Hello!
I have been busy today. Here is the pink dragon I've been working on. She's almost done. I need to finish attaching the scales on her back and attach the wings.






Now here's something I've had brewing in the back of the ol' noggin for awhile. A bookworm. It turned out pretty cute I think. This one is my prototype. I'm trying to find a good way to keep the glasses on his head without them falling off when you're manipulating the puppet. Plus I'm using a different puppet pattern and there's a foam skull involved. So I'll keep tweaking him until I get him exactly right before I add him to my shop.

Tootles!

New Dog Puppet on the Way!

Hey, here's a picture of my most recent dog puppet! How totally cute is he?? I actually paid more than I should have on the fabric I used for the sweater, but when I saw it I just had to have it.

It kinda reminds me of Freddy's sweater from the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, but technically Freddy's sweater was red and green, so really it's not the same. Anyway, I'll have to finish fully attaching his ears, eyes and tail and then add some hair and he'll be done.

I'm still working on the rest of the crew!! Thank goodness Christmas is still "sort of " far away. Don't blink! It'll be here before we know it!

Until next time!

Never Fear! UnderDog is Here!!



I am on the brink of finishing my UnderDog puppet. The only think missing is his little tuft of hair at the top! Here's a picture of what he looks like. I am soooo stoked! I can't wait to list him in my shop!

I'm also almost finished with my super chicken...or Captain Cluck...or whatever I'll name him. He's pretty cute too...I'll get him listed shortly. Anyway, just wanted to keep my peeps up to date on what I'm working on!

Thanks!!

Theresa
