Necessity

It is the mother of invention.

One of the puppet programs we will be putting on this evening involves a snake (no, it has nothing to do with the Garden of Eden). We had a beautiful snake puppet--but when practice time came around it was nowhere to be found.

So this morning I got an old sock, a pair of wiggly eyes (normally I do not like the kind that wiggle...but in this case they seem to go well) a business card (to give some firmness to the mouth) and a plastic cup (from whence come the teeth), and voila! A snake puppet.

Yes, I am counting on the relative scale of this puppet to the other puppets to convince viewers that it is not, indeed, a walrus.

If it hisses like a snake and slithers like a snake it would have to be one very talented walrus.

In the puppet world, anything is possible.
