Hello everyone.  I've been off the forum since my initial post and just wanted to post an update on my puppet building and design.  

Here is Franklin Frankenferter.  He is a conductor.  He started out as just an exercise in design using the Brazil patten but I decided to finish him enough to photograph.  He has been a good platform for me to practice my fabrication and sewing skills.




This is a monkey in progress.



Here are some drawings for some new puppets.





This latest flury of activity is in response to a local puppet manufactuer posting an ad for a fabricator.  My resume and portfolio (for what it's worth) went out tonight.   Wish me luck.  I would really like to make puppets as a career.

I love your conductor, so expressive, and you certainly didn't have to tell me who he was, it was apparent at first glimpse. Good luck with your desired goal!

VERY nice! Like Chris said, so expressive! Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to see those drawings come to life!

Very good job! Can't wait to see the others when built.

Great design and puppets. Realy love your work!
