After many years dreaming about building puppets, my wife decided this Christmas to set me up with everything I would need to build a puppet I had sketched out a few months ago. I'm using the Borsa pattern from Project Puppet and have been very pleased with the process so far.

I did a boil treatment on my fur and couldn't be happier with the texture I ended up with



I spent all day yesterday hand stitching the entire puppet. I wasn't pleased with the alignment of the head so I removed and re-stitched that this afternoon.







Still need to add all the facial features, but so far I'm really pleased with what I've done.

That's quite the critter! I really like it.

You should be pleased! He is looking good.  I really like the variation in the fur.

Yes! The lighter fur around the mouth looks terrific. Look forward to seeing the project develop.

Nice puppet. I look forward to seeing how he turns out.

I like the lip. How did you do it?

Great puppet so far!! Cant believe its your first!
