I'm sorry you have not been feeling well........................ I hope you are better as time goes by. What fun and fantastic puppets. The most exciting thing I noticed is that everyone looked like they were having lots of fun. Thank You for sharing.

Happy new year Ms. Bhanu. Bad to hear about your knee condition(Try glucosamine"I guess that's the way to spell it in English". It will work great in this case. But try it natural or organic product).
And for the other side; good to know you doing well with your workshops. Congratulation!

Thanks Miguel for your suggestion...I will chek if this glucosamine
is available here...also I have to keep the exercises going everyday
to strengthen my quadriceps...

That workshop looked like fun. Great time to have some creative fun.

The puppets look GREAT!!  Did you use glue to put them together? Or did you use something else. I am wanting to use the spongees pattern in my school workshops but have not talked to anyone who has taught a class using the pattern. GREAT JOB!  And I hope you are feeling better!

I wish you a speedy recovery on your knee......I love how they turned out.....I also like that you added those big chins....the chins really add more character to them.  All the best on getting more workshops and thanks for sharing some wonderful pictures....I never remember to take pictures during mine....lol.

Thanks Sonny, LJ & Daryl for your comments...

LJ I  used only glue to fix the parts...what is available here is
a synthetic rubber solution that comes in a tube.

Daryl...I enjoyed the session more than the participants!!!!.
Yes..your are right the chin/jaw gives a nice look. I made
4 chin templates for them to select.
