A Passion for Puppets<\/h1>\n

Check out this great article <\/a>in the East Bay Times about me and my puppet obsession. It was really fun to share again about my puppet craft and show off my studio where all the magic happens! Thanks to Jennifer at the East Bay Times for finding me!<\/p>\n

Claude Meets Claude<\/h1>\n

My ongoing Ween puppet project has brought me endless joy and excitement. The latest puppet is Claude Coleman Jr., the drummer for the band Ween<\/a>. I knew this one would be fun because Claude is so animated and, fancy that, my favorite drummer. Claude was in my hometown of Oakland last Friday night playing with Angelo Moore and the Brand New Step. I just had to see if I could meet him. The venue was small, so it was easy to meet and chat with Claude after the show. He was thrilled to see his puppet and willingly took several photos. A number of other Ween fans were there and thought the puppet was a perfect match. Next up, the bassist and keyboardist for Ween are slated to be finished before Ween’s San Francisco show September 27th & 28th<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Puppets at Mini Maker Faire!<\/h1>\n

Last year when I was doing my puppet-a-day project, I went to the East Bay Mini Maker Faire and made a puppet at their craft-o-rama section and it was a blast! I made a puppet out of a sweater and the other supplies available.<\/p>\n
