For me it look fine. I don't know how he looks like in person Bur I love him I just bought a fabric that is a kind of knited fleece, green and has the same idea a few green colors in the fabric
Show us a pic when he is finished

I will! I might try selling him on Ebay once he's finished... I made him using the pinhead pattern (slightly modified) and alternate foam body pattern from project puppet dot com. I think I'll have enough fur left to make at least one more, if not two.

Very nice use of colour here, it looks like your using the `wrapping` method for the nose, just make sure you sew it right down onto the head so you don't see any excess fabric buckling.
Great stuff!
Cheers,
Dan

oh, WOW love the monster. Never seen that kind of fur before.
hadn't thought of tags for my puppets yet but now you have me tinking...

I considered sewing the nose down, but the fur pile is so thick I didn't know if I could do it correctly. I didn't want to cut down the fur too much and end up with visible bald spots either! The fur is from www.distinctivefabrics.com just click on the "long pile fur" link and you will see a whole bunch of great furs... they aren't cheap though! Thanks for the advice and compiments tho! I'm still thinking on what name I should use for my puppets... Central Street Puppets, or KnytPuppet. I want to start tagging my own too.

ooops sorry!

Well, I'm actually considering either using a fabric maker or silk screening onto the puppet.

You know if you hadn't made this post, I'd have never thought of it myself! Thanks so much, now I will be sure to order custom tags for my creations! :D oh and here's my new Monster puppet, unfinished but you get the idea ....
I really love this puppet! The fur is fantastic and the eyes just 'pop'!
