Hello,
The weasel is done. Both hands are posable and the tail as well. His head turns side to side and mouth open and closing.

Hi, Really nice puppet, the fur looks great, did you make a latex body as well? I am making a rod puppet singing snail duo at the moment out of latex and acrylic paint. They have been great fun so far, just have to get the mouth mechs smaller than I usually use, do you use metal or wood?

Thank you.
Yes, the body is made out of latex as well.
Singing snails, I love it! I would love to see it. I use metal and plastic for my mouth mechs. You can really make tiny mechs in this way.

Yep. Actually everything I create is up for sell. My chickens are currently being used by others and I have sold a weasel. I am selling the weasels for $89.00 +s/h. Each one is numbered and signed. I am currently making some props for him, mallet, knife, fork, ray gun. When you buy a puppet from me you will get a prop for him included.
Aceept credit cards, check, money orders......
It takes about 2 weeks for me to complete orders.
Send me an email with your address and phone number(needed for shipping)
