felt finger puppets
Silly felt finger puppets for my niece and nephew. I would include an action shot, but they only fit my pinky finger. The original goal was to silkscreen them, like these at My Paper Crane. I unfortunately can't draw, though. These birds are plan B. Birds are easy. They only need eyes (sharpie) and beaks (glued on felt). I added the tails and the markings at the last minute to jazz them up.

Sweet! They have a seventies feeling, I think.

Super cute! It's like seeing crafty birds in the Rockford Files, or something....Remember the Rockford Files? When everything was brown?

How cute! I love the zigzag stitching and how each tail is different. You must be their favorite auntie!
