I spent today finalizing some adjustments to the stage for our new show, Little by Little. We have a 1/6 scale model of the stage right now and need to begin building the full-size version. So I really needed to make sure the design and the proportions were correct.
Some days, you
need to work on a particular aspect of a show. I really, really, really
wanted to work on my mouse puppet...so for today's puppet, I whipped up a mini-mouse that was proportioned for our mini-stage!

I have several sheets of felt "swatches" that I've made from various breeds of sheep. The mouse was made from some of the felt. The gray topside is from a Jacob; the white underbelly (zoom in!) comes from a Navajo-Churro. The rod is from some scrap wire, and the only other material used is thread.

I'm feeling inspired...maybe someday I will build a toy theatre show!
