Phairby and the frog....
A puppet party, featuring one of my favourite people,
who we sadly lost exactly thirty years ago today.

And now for a closer look at my Jim Henson figure....
It was the very first male head my sister ever sculpted, and when she brought him over, I spent the rest of the day gluing on his hair and beard one tiny bit at a time, using a mix of human hair, dynel, and mohair, to get the proper 'salt & pepper' look. Then I made his body, sculpted his left hand and sneakers, and finished him. Jan made his director's chair, which has his name on the back.
He was made a year after his death, and his outfit was inspired by what he'd always wear in the opening sequences of 'the Jim Henson Hour' - a colourful sweater, dress pants, and white sneakers.
