Mid-way through felting...
...I begin to notice that some of the silk pieces are not felting in...
...so with a couple of quick tugs...
...Persephone is denuded of her problematic bits.
(Too bad it doesn't work like that for humans!) ;)
During felting...
...the project is flipped inside-out...
...and worked in all directions...
...until it's the desired shape and size.
While drying in the sunlight...
...I think she looks rather devilish!! ;)
Small circles are cut from a sheet of black, finished felt...
...glued on...
...and then hand-stitched into place...
...for eyes.
The finished puppet (front)...
...and back...
...and again in close-up.
Persephone is now ready...
...for a game of 'peek-a-boo'!
Next time: Bob.

Purple Persephone turned out perfectly - sounds like a tongue twister :) xx
Deborah--Hahaha...yikes...you're right!! :)
Hilarious Herman? Bewiskered Bob?
(Oops...I gave you a hint!) ;)
She's gorgeous - although I do foresee for her, years of being dragged around by the horns...
Rachel...unless she's chewed to bits by my daughter's dog!! ;)
