...one hump, two eyes made of ping pong balls, with fleece eyelids, two makeshift ears added at the last minute, a set of reins made of wool, tiny tiny nostrils, Kermit's mouth, four legs with little hooves, a blanket-saddle thingy. And I'm very pleased to share the results with you here.
Kermit was a birthday present for Elissa, who is a big Muppets fan. But when Kermit was being passed around in the pub on Elissa's birthday, someone mentioned how much her colleague hated the song about Alice the Camel (being called Alys herself), so it didn't take them long to demand a camel puppet. It did, however, take about three weeks to get round to making the puppet. I'm hoping Elissa will take the camel into work tomorrow and give Alys some stick with it, and I shall pass on any tales of the reaction.
Prototype Kermit came bowling with us yesterday, and there's a lovely shot of him taking a turn, but I can't find it right now. I didn't manage a strike, but there were strikes from everyone else, and some beauties from Ben and Clint, both of whom had a very full-on bowling style. Not so full on as the guy in the next lane though, who had a special glove. I'll keep practicing.
