I have been very active here in the forums the last two years but since I got my new job in May I've pretty much fallen away from the forums and from pretty much anything puppet related at all. That changes today!

I have been contracted to design and construct an Iago puppet for a production of Aladdin Jr. and I'm tearing into it today. I have little doubt that I can build such a puppet but the real challenge will be doing it within the allotted time. I have less than 2 weeks. Normally wouldn't be a problem but with my full time job it will be a bit more challenging! I'll try to post some pics as I progress. Wish me luck!

If you want I started a parrot puppet last month and I have some pics in my blog 

I've been wanting to try a bird.  I found a silicon hot pad thing at Joann's that is shaped like a duck bill.  Would be great!  I just haven't had time from making other puppets. 

Good luck!  I bet you can do it in two weeks.  You don't need to sleep right?
