Baa, Baa Black sheep

Finally I made a sheep puppet!!!! since I started to create the "Nursery rhymes in a bag" Puppets
I wanted to have ba a ,baa Black sheep set. It is one of the very popular nursery rhymes and my son's favourite as well,
was in my list but I really straggled with the design development
and 2 days ago out of nowhere I just made the sheep YES!!!! 2 designs

and then I wander which of these 2 it s more like a BLACK SHEEP

black head or white head????

I am happy with both designs but most friends suggested the black head so she is going to be in the completed set

now I am making 3 bags full

and the result is a lovely bright green mat with 1,2,3 bags FULL and a pond full of frogs (they weren't in the song ) but I loved the fabric

the set is ready and going to be listed in www.puppetsinabag.co.uk very soon

Thank you for visiting my blog

I love to make Custom orders, actually this is what I want to do,
