A Dash of Pepper!













This puppet was very experimental for me. Pepper is an original character, and my first "full bodied" puppet.
I started construction with the roly pattern, and drasticlly altered the basic "sock" of the body, and added her legs to the mix. I kept all of the patterns for this design and may revisit some aspects of it on a later build. Overall, I like how the body shape came out.
This is also the first time I've tried using yarn for hair.
I've considered making one like this for sale, but my poor photography skills just don't do the design justice. It really looks better in person than what I caught on camera.
