Persephone, Herman and Bob- Part 2 (Herman)

Fiber is added to side two...


                     ...and aqua pencil roving is wrapped around each extremity...

                                                       ...to form 'bracelets'.



                                  Mid-way through felting, a slit is cut in the soft felt...

                                                 ...and the resist is removed.



                                         A small wooden tool helps with shaping...



                         ...and a ridged rolling mat helps to shrink the puppet to size.



                             A couple of tucks are sewn-in to help shape his mouth...



                                      ...and embroidery floss nostrils are added.



                                          Circles are cut from red and white felt...



                                      ...and hand-stitched to the puppet for eyes.



                                                Next time: Herman lives! ;)
