Description
This is my second puppet that was made roughly a month ago. With a self timer, this was the hardest to take a picture of! As you can see, I had just managed to get into the position but forgot to smile, heheh. This was also the 6th attempt at taking the picture (mainly due to human errors, like holding the puppet's head in the wrong direction etc)

Things to be noteworthy... This was my first attempt at doing a double rod arm puppet and I believe I did an okay job! Its a little difficult to learning how to control the arms with only one hand (mainly because I had grown used to puppeteering live hand puppets) but I managed to learn a few basic positions.

The eyes aren't like my previous puppet, I was going experimental again and I decided to try making the eyes of adhesive felt and not 3D like my previous puppet. Other features like the lack of a big 'button' nose (like my previous one, or rather a cut off polystyrene ball wrapped in fleece) to try and create a new character and to try and distinguish between a male and female puppet.

The wig and medallion were actually from a local joke shop! The wig was the most costly thing from this puppet at £11.99 but it gets the job done!
