Hi everyone!

My name is Catherine and I just started building puppets. My new favorite hobby! Here is my second and third puppet that I have built recently! I'm a bit too embarrassed to show my first one, heh heh.

My second puppet, Bartleby the Raven. Bartleby sings show tunes and suffers from seasonal affective disorder.


My latest puppet, Boomer the Dog. Boomer loves everyone that isn't a cat and prefers his heartworm medication wrapped in cheese.


I'm exited to join this forum! Lots of super professionals here and tons of great info!

Welcome to Puppets and Stuff Catherine. You are doing well with your new found hobby....Great job!

Are you sure those are your second and third puppets?! They look really awesome. I love all the little details on Boomer.

Welcome! And great work, I love the dog!

Welcome!  They both look great.  I can't pick a favourite, I think they both have real personality.  What is the material you used for Bartleby?

Excellent. Love Bartleby's coat...is is fur with feather accents?  Boomer is adorable also. Great expression in the eyes.

You got you a couple of great looking puppet there! Thanks for sharing them with us!

Thank you guys so much! I'm glad to be here!

Hey Krafty and Julie, Bartleby is made up of a "feather" fur material and then dressed with real feathers. The fur looks like regular faux fur that has been pressed and melted all over. I'm not sure what it is called. Here is another shot of him.

Hmm, I didn't notice the feathers before on the bird. That is a great use of two different textures. I really love how the arms are kind of matted, with the feathers coming off like wings.

Wow, those look awesome!
