This a puppet project that they are trying to get off the ground. Looks like some amazeing puppetry history here. They are trying to raise money for the project and you can learn more about that and the project itself here: http://www.indiegogo.com/Atticfullofpuppets

I personally disagree with the idea that puppetry is not for those under 2 years of age. If they think that a puppet is real then they are going to think other inanimate objects like their teddy bear is real.  It is part of growing up. Most child development experts feel this fantasy or imaginary world is important.

Really nice scroll saw work Donald! I don't think I have ever seen portraits done with a scroll saw. Very creative.

That is a shame to hear. It really is a great set up. I could see it as a tree house though. You could cover it in the straw mats you get at stores like Pier One... are those still around?

Jay,
Please give Becki our love and know that we are also thinking of you.

I had not seen this guy before but a friend of mine pointed him out to me today. He has some really good stuff!

I love the violin with arms, legs and bow tie!

I am so happy to hear this!  Wishing Becki a speedy recovery also. Don't forget to take care of yourself also. She'll need you to be in top health.

There is easy quick mold products you can get at the hobby store. The one I've used before is a powder you mix with water and then it sets up and you have a flexible mold you can pore something else in like plaster. You could look and see if you could find that. Not really too expensive.

You could also try simply modeling one your self with something like sculpy. Might not be a perfect match but I bet you could get close.

The only other thing I can think of is to repair with a new set of eyes that are close. Of find one that is close and then use it even if it is a bit off. It might add some character if your friend had slightly mismatched eyes.

I don't think it is available as a download.  I think though that in the past that folks have contacted Grey Seal and made arrangements of some type. http://www.greysealpuppets.com/Contact.html
