Here's to you Tripod


I love to create new things even if they dont come out the way i want them at first. I created this cat puppet after my own kitty, Sweet Pea (name for the flower and the pee "presents" she used to leave around the house) lost one of her legs. I guess i might call her tripod now. But she is A-okay- it was as though nothing happened to her at all and she can even run almost as well as she used to.
Anyway, I have had this loving cat for over 19 years so I thought I would make an honorary puppet of her because she is so special and reminds me of so many different times in my life just by looking at her. The puppet is made on museum quality board and painted with oil paint. I used metal brads so you can move the limbs around. Cheers Sweet Pea!
