Thanks Aurthur. Can't wait to see your take on the idea.  That is if you decide to do it.

Well, I forgot to comment on your wolfman Arthur.  He is great! Can't wait to see the whole bunch!

Okay, so here is the mummy.  Not completely happy with him, but he's okay.

The Invisible man!!

Inside him is just a handle and its topped with blck so you can still see inside the coat a bit.  Glasses ars suspended by wire that is covered with the little cord you can put on glasses so the hang around your neck when you take them off.

I like your mummy, not many mummies have ears and eye brows.  You did good on the invisible man, don't have to worry about lip sync on that one.

Thanks for the replies.  I initially didn't have eye brows, ears or hair.  but he looked very plain.  I painted on eye lids and that looked TERRIBLE!  So I had to cover it with something. 

The top was also just all white.  I tried scraps of yarn hair coming out of various folds, but that looked like scraps of yarn poking out.  Go figure.  I ended up painting a scrap of long-pile fur I had left over.  So it now looks like a bad toupee which is kind of funny.  Could have gone either way on the ears. 

Sleep?  Oh yeah!  Heading there now!  But again, I am a big proponent of letting ADD run wild!  I'd love to be able to help kids with it learn to embrace it as a gift instead of the defect they are made to feel it is.  But for me?  I can't not be doing something.  If I am working, watching TV, sitting at church, riding in a car for any distance, I have to have something in my hands to do.  Usually its embroidery.  When I can, its puppets!!

Thanks all!

Perfect! Love the use of the glasses to define the face. Very well executed!
