So I had too many ideas and not enough time. In the end I used some sweaters that my sisters donated and made a puppet for Marcus. I experimented with combining techniques like cutting, splicing, sewing, layering, unravelling and painting. It was supposed to be a lion, but everyone says llama.
It’s really cute. I think the eyes really pop because they are surrounded by the dark cloth from Marcus’ old underwear (ssh, don’t tell).
There could be a long exploration of puppet making in my future.
