Where there is a will, there is a way!  Keep at it. You have a decent enough webcam. Are you able to connect it to a laptop? That way  you  can  be mobile. ... also  check and see how good your cell phone  camera is.

 A recent  development :  have you ever seen those carbon fiber ribbed umbrellas?  If you can come by a discarded one in the street, grab it immediately. The rods are excellent. They are light, very strong, and mostly come with a plastic thing on the end, which has a hole in (or you can make one) which you can utilize to stitch or attach to the arm. I investigate every  umbrella I see thrown away, now.

You should get Mr Big G involved some more . He's cool. I think the Patsy Hoolahan blush  was a great idea.  and wow,  the pirate T-shirt business is ahead of you  Patsy! get in there!  Interesting outfit by the way.

Very true MIllie.

A great reminder for us down here in Colombia. Although elections and politics differ, we have also had polarizing events recently, and the same goes for us. I hope we have all managed to remain friends, even though our political views may differ. Thanks Patsy. Thumbs up.

Patsy...I am surprised that you have not commented on the upcoming presidential elections....

That's a great collection of books,videos and movies! It must have taken ages to find them all. It should save people a whole heap of searching.

It certainly is looking like your concept drawing (looking good) Remember, there is a difference between excellence and perfection. Excellence, you do your best, perfection you get screwed up, because nothing is ever perfect. I like the saying , 'aim for the moon , to hit the tree'. Another thing is, the more puppets you do , the better constructed they become (usually) Keep at it, and have fun (don't forget the 'have fun' part)

That's great. I am sure he will treasure it and the fond memories he probably had with you.

Sounds like a cool production.
