In the immortal words of Shirley Temple, "Oh my doodness!"

The puppet, the craftsmanship, the photography, they are just tremendous. To be merely impressed would betray an ignorance of the work, vision and skill you have brought to this puppet.

Congratulations on such a beautiful puppet.

Guys, I didn't expect so wonderful response. Thank you so much.

Referring to what Migel said:

How did you do that (What pattern, how, please expalin it to us)

I must say, I didn't use any pattern. I thought I would be able to use pinhead or rotondo head one, but it didn't work out.
I built a lot of different heads and couldn't decide what to do with them, what to do to improve the skull, so I was playing, changing, cutting, adding. It took a long time, but finally I got it. I told myself: "If that one wouldn't work out, maybe I'll be forced to give it up, unfortunately". And these words, I suppose, were my interior motivation to keep it up and continue the building process.
Migel, I'm not able to answer your question. If you would ask me: "how you did this and that specific part", I suppose I could tell you  more, but I cannot say how I did Peanut as a whole. It was spontanous, it was like: "hmmm, maybe I will add a little foam in here, and there", it was by trial and error.
What was the worst part, I can honestly say - lips and mouth/mouthplate. I mean, mouthplate wasn't difficult to build, but the problem occured in connecting it with cheeks and upper / lower lip to keep mouthplate be able to be manipulated.

If you would like to know more, just ask, I will try to answer as much as I'm able.

@Chris - yeah, I played with light while I was taking some photos of Peanut. He had... a "pseudoprofessional session" in the "studio" (living room) That's why some photos may look quite nice (I suppose these ones with very dark background).

WOW!!!! Nice duplication......especially for being your second puppet and the funny shape head which can be very challenging.....it really worked out great.

It was well worth the wait and tension building........

Daryl, oh yes, Peanut's head shape WAS challenging for me, especially if lips and other protuberances are to be considered...

Thank you so much.
