Updates...

Hi friends.

I wanted to take a minute to give a few updates.

First off, I apologize for the lack of new characters recently.  I  have two that are almost ready to go, and I was going to be getting them up this past Wednesday, but unfortunately my grandfather passed away and we had a funeral and a burial to go to, so I simply didn't have time to finish the characters up.

So I'll be trying to get them done soon.  There are three that are pretty much done, they just need to have the final little touches put onto them.

After those three are revealed, I have two more ideas in the works that will be interesting I think.

Other than that, I also am planning on doing a video to show some of the OTHER puppets in my collection...some of them that I have bought from other talented puppet builders.

Thanks for your continued support.

A Quick Update...

Hi everyone.

I just wanted to take a moment to let everyone know that I still have several puppets in the works...and three of them are just about ready to be released.

One of those two, in my opinion, is absolutely amazing.  He's going to be an Ultimate Character and he's going to require more time than normal to finish him.

The other is a family member of Rabbit, and has some really cool ears.  I like the way he has turned out.

I am still working out kinks on a couple of the other projects.  King is on hold right now because I simply can't get a part of him to work out the way that I want it to.  Ultimate Yeti, Sr is still in the works as I still try to nail down the fabric that I want for him.

The project that my wife has been helping me with is also coming along now.  I've got a good plan laid for it, and hopefully will be able to start putting the plan to the sewing machine in the next couple of weeks.  I think he's going to be a pretty cool and interesting puppet.

Character Reveal...

Hi everyone!!!

I have a new character to show everyone...here's a quick description of him, his name is Rabbit.

Rabbit is a puppet that is similar to Yeti, Sr. By that, I mean he's a two handed puppet where you control his head with one hand and his arm with your other hand. He has awesome ears that flop around s you move his head...you never know where they're going to end up when you're just playing around with him, but with a bit of practice you can flop them forward, backward, or even have one forward and the other backward!!

He's got cool little teeth and a nifty looking nose.

Here's the story for Rabbit...

"Rabbit is a janitor at a local junior high school. He's worked hard his whole life, and was recently promoted to Head Janitor at Foresthill Junior High. He hasn't let his promotion go to his head, as he continues to believe that hard work always pays off. He's always in to work early, and always going home after everyone else. He's a model worker and has used this drive to help him get everything he wants in life.

Rabbit lives in his hole with his wife and his son. They are both very proud of Rabbit, but his son goes to Foresthill Junior High. Sometime's he gets picked on by the other kids because of his dad's profession. If only the other kids understood that no matter what Rabbit does for a living, the fact that he puts carrots and lettuce on the table everyday is all that really matters.

When Rabbit isn't working late, or going to work early, he enjoys flying kites and just being outdoors. He is planning a camping trip for his family to Yellowstone Park for sometime this coming summer...if he can pull himself away from work for a couple of weeks!!"

Rabbit is a great character, and I'm sure you'll love him as much as I do. If you're interested in a Rabbit, let me know. I primarily make him in the tan colored fleece, but he would be available in any of the fleece colors that I have...so if you want a neon green Rabbit, you can get him!!!

Thanks for your interest, and again, Happy Holidays!!!

Jeff

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

And, to those of you that don't celebrate Christmas...Happy Holidays!! 

I just wanted to take a quick second to let everyone know that I've got a big reveal coming up soon.  I need to get some video work finished for part of it, but let's just say that THREE new characters will be springing up really soon.

So, I hope you all have a great holiday and a Happy New Year!!!

New Character Coming Soon...

Hello everyone!! 

I wanted to let everyone know that there will be a new character coming in the next few days.  He is tentatively going to be a Basic PLUS character, so his pricing will be $60.  However, I am working on some different eyes for him that may be able to bring him down into the Basic character range.

I also am very close to getting done with one of the projects that I've been working on for a while.  Otserp may be ready to go in the next week or two. 

King is still in the process of being designed.  I've run into some snags with his "house," and I'm trying to work through them but not having much luck.  I'll keep at it, though, and hopefully I'll be able to release him soon. 

Ultimate Yeti, Sr is still in the works, as well.  I've still had no luck securing the fur for him.  I may have to end up looking for the fur at another outlet if I don't get any luck any time soon. 

Finally, the project that my wife has been helping me with is temporarily on hold.  I wanted to do something really cool with the eyes for that puppet, but the size just wasn't working out.  So I'm in the process of reworking the entire design to create a slightly larger head so that the eyes will be able to work with him.  I'll keep you guys updated on any status changes for him...but for now he's kind of on the back burner. 

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you guys will enjoy the new character when he hops in later this week!!!

Some Updates...

Hi everyone.

I am sorry, but I still haven't had a chance to upload the character description and the video that I want to make of McGarrett.  I've been really busy and haven't gotten much time to do it lately.  I will try to get it up this coming Sunday.  I really want the video to be up so everyone can see how cool McGarrett's ears are.

I also wanted to mention that I've still got some more great characters that I'm working on.  Some that I mentioned before, and some new ones.

I'm still waiting on the fur for the Ultimate Yeti, Sr.  It's been out of stock for a little while, and when it came back in stock I missed out and by the time I got my order placed it was gone again.  So I'll be on the look out still for that fur.  I know it's going to be amazing when I finally get it.  I also have another addition to the Ultimate Yeti, Sr that will make him that much more cool...but it's a secret for now!!!

I'm also still waiting on the project that my wife has been helping me with.  I was going to try to do something really interesting with the eyes on that puppet, but after drawing it up I don't know if the size of the puppet will accommodate what I wanted to do.

So that's the update on the projects mentioned earlier...now I'll tell you about a couple of projects that I'll be starting to work on soon as well.

The first is Otserp.  I'll explain the name when I introduce him.  He's going to be a fleece puppet in the body style that Yeti, Jr is...but he's going to have some super special ears.  I'll leave it at that, and hope that you guys like him when you see him.

The next is King.  King's a character idea that a lady named Alice that I work with came up with.  It's a variation of the Dion puppet that I'm sure will make HISS-tory as a Puppets by Jeff Original.  I'll just leave it at that.

Last, I would like to once again thank everyone for your support.  I'm still growing as a puppet seller, and I have slowed down my listings on Ebay and Etsy while I try to complete my entire line up of characters.

Thanks again!!!
Jeff

McGarrett is Now Available!!!

Hello friends.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have found a suitable replacement fur for the material I used to make McGarrett.  It's slightly longer, but I actually think it looks better. 

The fur he was made out of was apparently a "Halloween Only" material from a local supplier, so I will be sure to buy as much of it as possible next year. 

McGarrett will go for $65.  I'll have him added to the Characters Page soon.
