Obtained the fur for my next #puppetbuild project, which will be affectionately known as “Trashcan Sam” upon completion. Stay tuned for another build thread! #puppet #puppetry #makersgonnamakepic.twitter.com/Vyggy96LQv

Thought I’d share the design sketch this time so everybody can follow along at home. Trashcan Sam is gonna be a rather hapless alley cat—a scrawny, beat-up old mog who still shoots his mouth off at the wrong times. #puppet #puppetbuild #makersgonnamakepic.twitter.com/C7nAwI1tLl

Juuuust gonna listen to some Bob Ross...as we cut up this fur. Happy little fur for a happy little #puppet...just like that... #puppetbuild #puppetry #makersgonnamakepic.twitter.com/LiDkGAuCTh

Primary construction done! Had to borrow Jack’s stand to get this picture, but, not to worry—Sam’ll be getting his own. Long way to go still! Arms and legs and a tail and ears and one hell of a haircut, but it’s definitely looking like a #puppet! #puppetbuild #makersgonnamakepic.twitter.com/3bwpSdZrZE

Arm rods and toe beans! I’m hoping to finish everything up this weekend, but there’s still plenty to do. Stay tuned. Stuff’s gonna happen fast from here on out. #puppet #puppetry #puppetbuild #makersgonnamakepic.twitter.com/cfesdZJG4Q

Secondary construction on Trashcan Sam complete! Now to give him a trim and add him a face! Thank God for three-day weekends. I could conceivably finish up before I go back to work! #puppet #puppetbuild #puppetry #makersgonnamakepic.twitter.com/eM36leU1Xb

Soooo...yeah, that didn’t happen. Fortunately, I’ve still been chugging along! Here’s a look at a preliminary pinning of Trashcan Sam’s face—nothing’s sewn on yet, so I can still trim things up and move them around. Eyes go on last! #puppet #puppetbuild #makersgonnamakepic.twitter.com/rpBQDKKw82
