I finished the Serpent (see below as well) for Shakespeare Orange County's next Green show.  Last night added the final touches and after sewing in the copyright tag today I'll be driving the baby over to SOC so that the actors can start practicing with them. They'll have two weeks with my baby so it's perfect.

See a few pictures under the Puppet Tab or head over and visit my Flikr page.

The weeks have shown some improvement. I've been moving forward with the puppets I've been creating for Shakespeare Orange County's "Green Shows." This year there are three, a whale, and dragon/serpent, and a St. Bernard.
-  At the moment the Dragon, though there have been a hiccup or two, is
   pretty close to finished and looking snazzy. 
-  The Whale hit a wall, I made a huge and I mean gigantic puppet out of
   0.5in foam that can't support such an endevor.
-  And the St. Bernard is still in the planning stage.

Beyond that life is picking up
-  I may have a job.
-  My hand puppets for SOC's production of The Complete Work's of
   Shakespeare Abridged got mentioned in the OC Register's review of the
   show.
-  There are two bookings for Flutterby Puppets that I'm to be a part of the
   "acting" side! (If you book on tell them Phaedra Sent you!!)
-  My place is shaping up nicely.
