Lioness hand puppet

Out of the group of puppets I took photos of, she was the most delightful.  Her face loves the camera…puppet lion orange4

Rabbit, banana flavour.

Here is one of my better attempts at photographing some of my pieces in a newly constructed lightbox(thanks, Kat!).  The box is really a bit too small, though, as I found that none of the puppets actually fit inside. Lucky rabbits, however, no problemo.   So I shall move on to bigger, more spacious lightbox building.  Then LOOKOUT!  Super awesome pictures will soon be on their  way…

“Celebrate”

There’s a party happening somewhere, and Owl is invited.  He’s brought a nice present, beautifully wrapped.  It is also nice to see him making an effort by wearing a party hat.  Some would feel undignified.  Not Owl.
