What?? No!!!! thats never your first puppet, thats the product of someone who has been making puppets for years surely!?!? but seriously, that is one awesome puppet and you clearly have a natural talent for this.
your boyfriend must be really pleased (as are you i imagine) the pug has so much personality and looks like a whole lot of fun to use!!
am i allowed to say that im a little jealous??

thank you, you're all so lovely <3

Lizzies Lair- SO addicting! I've been painting for years and had always assumed that's what I would go to school for, but this silly pug has made me seriously consider looking into fibers or sculpture instead.

Jeezbo- Nope, just two-ish straight months of cursing and trying to get the materials to cooperate with me. Whenever people ask me how I made it, I honestly don't even know what to say, as I'm not entirely sure what I even did. But thank you so much, I am flattered beyond reason :D

I know what you mean. I've been an illustrator all my life and went to school for it but a year and 2 months ago I discovered this site and now I don't want to do much else. lol

Nicely done Louise! He has great personality and is so detailed, definitely much better than my first puppet. I wish this forum had existed back then. But keep up the good work, I'm excited to see your future builds :D

Beautiful design! And original! You achieved a deep personality on the puppet. As someone else said, you've got talent

Sir Pugglestein III is the sweetest thing!  Congratulations and look forward to seeing more! Sir Pugglestein 1 and II perhaps? 

Now isn't that cute?  Very good for your first puppet. I think you should make more!

Nice Job
