Meet my latest commission, Little Mary! This one for FluffySnuffy She is a professional grade glove puppet squirrel complete with a moveable mouth. She is 18-20 inches tall, including a built in blackout arm sleeve that covers her puppeteer’s entire arm. You can see a little bit of it beneath her skirt.

She is permanently dressed in an adorable blossom pink ruffle top and blue denim skirt with a matching pink hair bow attached to her head.

She requires two hands to puppeteer, one inside her body to move her arms and head and the other to pull an invisible string hidden in her dress that’s pulls open her lower jaw. Movement Demo ------> youtu.be/YLJ-sS8WcJ4

Little Mary's mouth board. Made with a small clothespin for a spring load and stiff felt for the board itself.

The inner body is made from fleece and is the part that black arm sleeve is attached.

Concept Sketch based on my discussions with the client. Little Mary will be a professional grade glove puppet squirrel with a moveable mouth. She will be 18-20 inches tall, including a built in blackout arm sleeve that will cover the puppeteer’s entire arm to the shoulder. She will be permanently dressed in an adorable blossom pink ruffle top and blue denim skirt with a matching pink hair bow attached to her head. She will require two hands to puppeteer, one inside her body to move her arms and head and the other to pull an invisible string hidden in her dress that’s pulls open her lower jaw.
