Hi, everyone. I began working on this jaguar puppet for the Project Puppet contest over the summer, but my best friend got married the weekend it was due, so I wasn't able to finish it then.
However, he has finally been completed. My mom called him 'Virgil', so that's his new name. He's a vegetarian jaguar, too, so he gets mad at me when I eat meat. Nature is weird like that.
I used glass taxidermy eyes (for lions, actually) to give him a more realistic look. I think it worked out pretty well. I'm in the midst of making a fox, too, and I'm probably going to do the same thing with it.
Anyway--I'd love to hear what you think of him!
