Crazy Year!!

My little girl turned 1 today!! It has been a wild ride. Especially since this has been by far my busiest year for puppet work. Between building puppets, puppeteering, teaching classes, and taking care of my little lady I can't believe I had time to sleep. Oh yeah, most of the time I didn't.

However, I wouldn't pass up this wonderful time for anything. Happy Birthday Roxie!!!

P.S. There is still time to sign up for my next puppeteering class at the Puppet Showplace. Do it now before it fills up. http://puppetshowplace.org/index.php?page=adult-workshops

Hey Everybody, Just finished building this puppet and thought you would all enjoy seeing it. I will try and shoot some video of him soon. Until then, enjoy the photos and please feel free to share to your friends. I would love to see some comments as well.

Here is a quick clip of a larger project.



Well I thought I was at a safe distance.

Is that an ant?

Here is a video of a puppet that I built last June with the amazing Jim Kroupa.

Good luck trying to figure out how the head turns. I built it and I don't even fully understand it.

Super Cute Baby Monster

I decided to try and make the cutest thing I could. The little baby monster above is the outcome. Now I will have to try and see if I can make something even cuter.(insert evil laughter here)

Thanks again for stopping by.
