Everybody, please let me introduce you to Sweet Pea!
Sweet Pea is a personal project, something that I made for myself as part of my costume for Fantasy Forest on the 21st of July. Also, I haven't made anything for myself since about 2016, so it was probably time to do so!
He measures about 210cm long, and was designed to sit around my shoulders. He has an armature in his neck and spine, but his legs and tail are floppy, weighted with plastic pellets for a nice feel. His jaw opens and closes, and he really is quite friendly, I promise!
I really wanted to use colours I've not used before, so why not hot pink? Also, I'm in love with how much his blue eyes and mouth really stand out, along with his blue collar and bright bell:)
I'll post photos of my costume and him in a couple of weeks, but if you're going to Fantasy Forest on the Sunday, I'll be there, so you can come say hi and give him a cuddle. I'll also have some trinkets to trade if you're game!
Really pleased with how he turned out. I'd love to make more of this style of puppet, so if you're interested, let me know!
