In 2021 I started taking interest in the art of puppetry and puppet building.
I decided to design and create my own puppets. This new hobbie helped me learn new skills like sewing and pattern drawing, and allowed me to practice character design using limited color palettes to fit the fabric I had available at the moment
In this page you'll find some of the puppets I created along with their concept art.
This is Mac, the first puppet I built.
I used a simple sock puppet pattern but made some modifications to fit the character design.
Meet Tad and Roger, they're best friends!
I made them to practice eye focus, using ping pong balls to create their eyes.
Tad is the first puppet I made with a foam skull and body.
This is Pat, the new puppy!
He's my first live hand puppet and the first puppet I've made with a mechanism inside their head.
This simple mechanism allows me to move his ear up and down while moving his mouth and head.
