......

I'm starting to have problems with what should I say. The more you guys write about this puppet, the more I feel so good and touched, really!
Thank you, Chris.

I hesitate whether wait for my other fake furs or use one I've already got... I'm a duffer and forgot to give my address to the company yesterday, so that's why I must wait till Wednesday for my furs to be sent. It goes by a courier so I suppose I should get it on Thursday, but I could get it today and start to cover my puppet with a fur tomorrow... Oh well, I'll see what I do.
I will keep you informing.

I think today [it's 03:02 AM...] I will glue the ears on (they are done) and start to prepare the hands.

Keep up the good work!

Tsu, you're doing a great job.  I love how everything comes together to give him such a child-like innocent character.  I have to complement on the construction of the lips.  On my first few puppets I found the lips to be one of the most challenging parts of the puppet.  You have done a great job.

Keep it up,

Jon

Thanks once again guys!

@Jon, as for the lips - Thank you! I made a head of 1cm thick foam and then cut some of 2cm one to prepare the lips. Here's another photo of my puppet that shows those lips better:

Very nice work Tsu!  I also love the way you made the eyes.

If you are worried about losing the innocent look of the puppet, then don't add your features permanently at first. Simply pin them on the puppet and step back and see if you like it. Once you have what you like you can stitch or glue them on for good.

Keep up the good work!
