I had a lot of fun with my Edward Elric puppet at NDK. Biggest downside was that the Alphonse armor is not very comfortable to wear for a long time. I thought it would be fun to make a Hobbit puppet and I could be Gandalf (who I seem to resemble more and more these days). I wanted to make a puppet head that was more sculptural and less generic muppet. This has taken several attempts. (I might be able to use my first attempt to make a fish or possibly a snake puppet but not a Hobbit).Anyway, here is the current Hobbit head. It looks a little more like Farmer Maggot than how I picture Frodo or Bilbo but I think it will do for now. Adding hair might help.
