Hi Everyone!!

Just wanted to take a quick second to update some things. 

First off, I apologize about the lack of new characters.  I STILL am in the finishing process of several of them, however, one of the puppets might end up being scrapped.  Why, you ask??  Well, because he simply didn't come out the way that I had hoped he would.  One part of him is really cool, so I will probably incorporate that into a new design, but for now I'm thinking he'll just end up in my collection and not really be shown.  It's POSSIBLE that I could modify him and end up releasing him with just a slight modification, but one part of him really didn't come out the way that I would have liked.  Oh well, you live and learn, right??

I also wanted to mention that I am currently in the design and build process of my very first commissioned puppet.  It's a dinosaur, and I'm going all out on it!!  Here's a picture that I was given to work with. 

He's basically going to be a puppet similar in size to Dart or Paddy.  His skull is a modified Dart skull to add the dual colors and the horn/spike on the back of it.  I've made a pattern for his legs and feet and they are going to be great.  I also have something special planned for his arms that will make them very dinosaur like...but that's a secret that won't be shown until I get them built. 

It's coming along pretty well.  The process of designing the patterns is time consuming, and I went through several designs before I had the legs correct.  I'm going to run into the same thing with the tail, I'm sure.  The head, however, was actually quite a bit easier than I had anticipated it to be. 

More info on Perry the Dinosaur as he progresses. 

Last, but definitely not least, I have sold a full body Yeti, Jr.  So I wanted to post a picture of what Yeti, Jr looks like completely finished with legs and everything.  So here he is!! 

I don't currently have my own Yeti, Jr laying around now, so I'm going to have to make myself another one.  I was sad to see him go...he's one of my favorites...but I'm sure he'll find lots of love in his new home.  Besides, it gives me an excuse to make another one, right???
