Please say hello to Penelope, my newest puppet........   

Hello Penelope! You look surprised........... LOL.

Fantastic job! I really love the use of colours, the white teeth show off well against the black and pink

What a sweet Pink Lady... Are you going to craft a T-Bird, too? ;-)

Thanks! I wish I could say she was planned out this way, but she wasn't. I just kind of went with it, using what I had for materials, and hoped for the best. My daughter thinks she'd be a great goth girl, so a black t-shirt and skirt may be in the works very soon...

Neat idea. Try artifical leather or latex and put some chains on her. This is a bit I found...

Sweet kitties, hum?

That's interesting, because my first thought about the design was that it looked very well planned. A lot of beginner puppeteers put 'too much' onto the puppet, cramming it with detail; the more professional puppets are the ones that scale back the features and go with a very clean look/colour scheme.

Where does the line start for cuddling?...what a sweet little puppet!

Rikka - that second image looks alot like what I was picturing in my head for her. But I love that last picture!

Na - thank you so much for the compliment. Not sure what had held me back all this time, and I know I have ALOT to learn (sewing, especially), but it felt so natural putting her and my Little Green Monster together. I just hope it may be a sign of better things to come! 

Sonny - don't let her cuteness fool ya, she may be able to thank her cuteness for getting OUT of trouble, but she has herself to thank for getting into it!


HaHaHa

I loved that one, too- I always loved cats, have a beadupmessing tiger right here....
But I did think that the 2nd image would feel right for your lady. If you can't get a fabric with that skullpattern in an appropriate size, try to cut a skull (negative!) into a half potato and use that as a stamp to apply clothpaint- it's a neat and cheap way to get patterns on cloth or paper. (Don't let the potato be too wet, though- it would schmear...  - better let it dry for a while. You'll see what I mean. )
