Short Clip from “The Little Green King”!

The noise in the Flower Show exhibition hall was immense, with all the people everywhere, but I think you can hear my soundtrack fairly well. Glarfus is chiding Blorfus about taking long showers.

Note Blorfus’ cute little blue towel he comes out with afterward. That was Steve’s idea.:)

I’m well aware of being pigeonholed into “children’s entertainment” when I say I’m a puppeteer; however, I prefer to make my characters and shows appeal to all ages. At the flower show, I entertained both children and adults;my Little Green King Show was attended by kids & parents(rather than parents just dropping their kids off),and  while a few children were a bit frightened of Zuzu,  little old ladies cooed over her incessantly.

My dear little husband Steve has worked very hard to help me get my website spruced up in the past couple of weeks.  While I can make “okay” graphics, Steve excels making them, and he has made many of the button and link graphics for this site,such as the nice blue-framed ones to the side, and the big graphic(with photo by Bo Couch) that you see when you type in www.puppatoons.com. He is also responsible for our coloring pages, and this flier for the show this weekend:

He has been a big help in putting together the soundtrack for the show, and the new Facebook Fan Page. He is also my greatest critic and cheerleader. I couldn’t do all that I do without him!

Zuzu’s Petals!

I’ll be performing at The 2010 Southeastern Flower Show tomorrow (there I am  on the schedule!), and I am very excited. I will at last perform The Little Green King, which is exciting enough, but getting to see this huge flower show for the first time is also going to be lots of fun and so interesting and inspiring.

Since Steve and I intend to see the rest of the show after my performance is over, I thought it would be perfect if I had a walkaround flower-themed puppet with me. Fortunately, I had time to make one this week. Enter Zuzu:

She has a root ball to sit in and to hide my arm, but it wasn’t assembled yet in this photo. Can’t wait to show her off.

Zuzu is of course a nod to the infamous “Zuzu’s petals!” line from the movie It’s a Wonderful Life.

This was just on the spur of the moment and we didn’t really have a joke set up, but I wanted to show our Wontkins in action!
