I’ve been itching to make a puppet for the past week now,
but think I want to start something completely new. If only I had the
motivation to do so.
Nothing motivates me more than actually wanting to complete
something. This doesn’t happen all too often. For example, the Fall Quilt I’ve
been hand quilting I’m taking my time on even though I want this quilt done and
be snuggling in it right now! Why? Because I’m trying to relearn the value of patience
through needle, thread and thousands upon thousands of stitches. And I’m only
doing an extremely super simple quilting pattern!
As for puppets, I think my biggest reason for wanting to
make another is that it has been nearly two years since I have. As much as I
love the smaller puppets, I’m thinking I want to go bigger like Noah and
Shermit, my larger performance pieces. This isn’t to say the smaller guys won’t
work for plays because King puppet has been in a high school production, just
that I really like the versatility of the larger puppets, and the extra bonus
of having to use both hands to perform.
So, what should I make? The obvious answer is a female
puppet or at least one with female characteristics since I don’t have one. I’ve
made them before, including one for a friend as her Muppet-likeness, but alas,
kept none as they were all gifts. However, I really want to make a furry
monster puppet too, so I suppose out of the four furs I currently have they
will need to work since money will be a rather large factor in this since,
well, we don’t have any. I’ve got so much stuff to make them leftover from the
previous puppets I’m sure I can come up with something. Now, where did I leave
my motivation?
