Unique ,Unusual and Quirky Puppets

Following some recent custom orders I tried to develop new designs for more unusual and quirky puppets that could be a special and more personal gift or to be used by Children's entertainers or storytellers as Pro puppets
This is the first puppet of this range :
my Hedgehog he have a very Furry top and soft tummy. It is a big mouth operated puppet that covers an adult arm to the elbow

Cow Hand Puppet-sewing pattern

The Cow is the second animal from my Project "Old McDonald Farm" Sewing pattern so I am half way trough

The idea was to create a pattern for a cute but very easy to make Little cow , for beginners level, just using hand stitching , and I am happy with the outcome

I wondered a bit about the balance between the black and white so white body with black patches or black body with white patches??? but then the first option appeared to be better

I must admit that the cow is one of my very favourite puppets that i have created
