So I never posted the finished hand puppet. My version of extreme secret santa for the work party, right.

Here he is just getting his clothes on. I stitched into the wire frame of his head by hand. You can see the beginnings of his wig in the back there.



I was using that infuriating hook tool to knot the hair around that mesh cloth. I used a lot less yarn than I thought I would.



Using sneaker glue, the wig is attached and buddy's ready to mount your fist for some real family entertainment.



The whole time I'm making these, I keep thinking about how professionals used to do therapy with hand puppets. People would get their whole family done, hand-puppet-sytle, and hash it out rhetorically in the name of personal betterment.

I like this one. It looks biblical.
St. Francis?
Was he the one that watched after the children?



But seriously, if any one knows anything about the therapy puppet business, or knows of any persons down with the therapeutic puppetry crowd, give me a holler.
