Little owl –hand puppet

I started to design a little owl –hand puppet
The brief was very simple:

© Cute

© Funny

To create an owl to look cute and funny was not easy task at all, especially when I looked at those images


So inspired by the nature I have chosen fabrics with more natural patterns .Although to achieve “cute & funny “creations will be much more difficult but I loved these materials, so decided to experiment with those first

By definition in toy making, to create a cute toy one needs a big head and big ,big eyes and a small mouth ……….at least two points checked   



The eyes are big and the beak is tiny is it cute maybe but not funny? I should try other colour schemes as well . xxx

The fairies should live in places like this fantastic tree
I have looked for inspiration at some colourful pictures ,the inspiration is needed to help me to design a "Tooth Fairy" puppet ,it should be something very girlish ,lots of pink probably and I'll go for a monochrome colour scheme
