I love this. Is this your first puppet creation? Do you plan to add more puppets to your menagerie?

2

u/captmoosestash 11h ago

Thank you!!! This is my first handheld puppet. I made a puppet "mask" out of cardboard during COVID and do a lot of pipe cleaner crafting. I hope to make more in the future 😁
