So I'm working to become a (ameteur) puppeteer...

[Freddus]

And I bought a new puppet yesterday! A rather gorgeous little squirrel that needs a name...

So... I was wondering, does anyone have any suggestions for a good squirrel name? She's a ... she, and I'm intending for her to be come a fairly major part of our future puppet productions.

My partner and I are working on making our own puppets as well, but it's nice to have some to start off with. smile

Also, in a more general way - are there any other puppeteers out there? I always like talking to anyone others!

Thank you. smile

My partner and I are struggling to learn Welsh at the moment, so it seemed fitting to find a Welsh name.

I'm not a puppeteer, but am a designer and puppet maker. It is great you've got a puppet, will you post a picture of your squirell?

Here is some of the ones I made for a show:

*Awesomeness*

Those are so awesome! I'm hugely impressed!

I haven't a photo of her right now, but I will get one as soon as I can. She's a very different style from your beauties!

Did you design and make those ones?

... I've been trying to get to making puppets for months and I'm yet to complete one. Yours are ... great. Really, hugely great.

Yea, I do design and make... made about 20, including a huge 3 person whale, in about five weeks or so. It was pretty intense but very fun. I am making a baby muppet style puppet at the moment for another show.

Making is really fun, I enjoy the problem solving aspect of it, you should really get into it.

Can't wait to see yours, did you settle on Olwen for the name?

That is wonderful. What I wouldn't give to be doing stuff like that!
And the notion of a three person whale is incredibly cool. (Sorry for the following somewhat random story) I had a dream about whales a few months ago and my mind has been planning out how to draw the dream... I just started trying to work out how it would work in puppet form. xd
... although, to be honest, my designing would suck, but I'd love to make and use them. smile
Part of my problem with making them, at the moment, is that I plan them out in my head and when I reach a problem I can't work out what to do, so I'm too scared to start. I kind of know that if I just go ahead and start one, it'll be easier to solve problems with it sitting in front of me... but I keep panicking and not trying at all.

Yes, she's definitely a Olwen. I can't see her as anything else now. I'm trying to practice her voice now - but practising isn't happening as much as it should because we're in the middle of moving and things are getting a little frantic.
