Lilo - Dragon Girl, a sockpuppet
|
|
This is Lilo Dragon Girl,
a sockpuppet I did as a Christmas gift for my little niece. She is made from a sock, of course, real wool in pink and orange shades, felt and has a lovely velvet tongue. Her eyes are made of a vintage handkerchief from my grandmother, filled with washable "magic cotton". All parts are hand-sewn, no glue is used, so that a little toddler won't end up swallowing bits and pieces or even some dragon scales... |

my first Marionette made of recycled, or used, materials. Cork in this case. She will find her way into a workshop for kids or young people some day, serving as prototype to show, that charme is not necessarily a matter of expensive materials or master skills... |
