Hello everyone!!!
I know that it has been a VERY long time since I posted anything on this site, but I wanted to let everyone know that I have NOT forgotten about my puppets.
I just kind of feel that puppet making for me is more of a fall or winter type of hobby, and when it's nicer outside I tend to have a few other things that I work on.
But, I have a few updates that I wanted to let everyone know.
First off, I will be working on two Dart puppets for a lady at work. She wants a couple for her kids, so I plan on working on those soon. They won't be any different than the Darts that I have done in the past, in fact, they are even colors that I have already done. Blue and orange.
Second, I have still got a couple of puppets to make for myself. I still need to replace my Yeti, Jr...but I'll be looking at a few different ideas for making his mouth, because I really struggled on the mouth with the last Yeti, Jr I tried to make. Unfortunately, when I started looking, it turned out I had been making the mouth wrong on these last couple of puppets I had made. It had worked in the past, but for some reason it just wasn't working this last time. I also still need to make myself a Perry the Dinosaur puppet. I am going to make him just like the one I made for my customer, only a different color.
Third, I have a good idea for another puppet that will be listed on the site. It's going to be a relative of Dart and Paddy, but a bit different. I think he'll turn out pretty well, but I have a couple of things to work out with him before I seriously get started on him.
Fourth, I have one puppet that is almost ready to be listed on the site. He's going to be replacing one of the puppets. This will mark the first time that I have retired a character. I'm doing this because I was never really 100% happy with the way this puppet turned out, but I am 100% happy with the way a similar puppet turned out...so I figured, if I'm not happy with one, why not replace it with one that I am happy with??
Fifth, I haven't forgotten about the video I was going to do showing some of the other puppets that I have in my collection that haven't been made by myself, but instead have been purchased. I will work on that in the coming weeks as well.
Finally, I thank everyone for continuing to support my puppets...especially my wife, Cathy, who has been telling me for a few weeks now that I need to work on a puppet or two. I hope to have the new character designed and possibly ready for construction in the next couple of weeks, and I also plan on having that replacement character done extremely soon.
