Thanks Shawn =] I put 22 gauge florist wire between the layers of fabric so they can be bent and twisted into shapes!

Oh, love love love how Wimble looks. Awesome work!
Re: Ideas for Fraggle-style puppet? Posted by April Dawne on Aug 03, 2010
thanks very much gdub106 The definition of Wimble: Noun * S: (n) auger, gimlet, screw auger, wimble (hand tool for boring holes)
I was looking for an interesting name for this species of creature, and thought this was a good choice as I envision them tunneling or boring into the earth, and a web-search of the word doesn't bring up any copyrighted names of characters to cause any infringement.

I absolutely LOVE this puppet, so muppetty and fraggley, I'm loving the color too, you did such a great job!

Thanks Rosie! I have three more people wanting Wimbles All I really did was change the shape of the GSP pattern slightly, by adding a snout and moving the dart, that was about it! I could modify it slightly for different looks if I wanted, but for now people seem to love the look
I went driving with Ned (his new owner has already named him) on my left arm and had him dancing and singing as I drove... you should have seen people stare It was funnnnn! hahaha

WHAT!!!!! You are supposed to have two hands on the steering wheel at all times! I can just see it... they well pass a law that prohibits the use of your puppet while driving.

Hahahaha luckily I didn't see any law enforcement types as I drove, and it's not something I will do on any kind of a regular basis, but it was definitely fun to see people stare at this little purple thing bopping around in m lap ahahaaaa!

That's right Shawn just like Oprah's " No phone zone " it will be " No Puppet on arm zone "

"I'm sorry, I can only go as far as the lobby."
Sorry, I just had to say that.

I just looked at the big version of the picture again, really nice work! Did you put wire in the fingers to get them to pose like that? I've done that with my dolls but not with a puppet.... yet.
I love the legs and feet, I have yet to make a full body puppet, I hope that when I do its simply a case of adding legs to the front at the bottom so you can pretty much handle it like a half body.
