PUPPET: Furgremlin (BODY - White; EYES - Blue; TAIL - Wide & Flat)
STYLE: Muppet / Ortiz Design*
MATERIALS: The puppet construction is from 1/2" foam. It is made from white faux grizzly fur with plastic eyes. The horns are made from yellow felt with poly-fil inside. The mouth is made from red felt.

FEATURES: This furgremlin features blue plastic eyes and two yellow horns on the side of its head. It has a a small orange foam tongue.
NOTES: Snug fit, perfect for adults and kids alike! Based on the cost of materials and the time it took to build it this puppet is valued at $30. However, in order to make it affordable to my target customers I do not charge for all of my time. This puppet took 3 hours to complete.
ABOUT ME: I'm a storyteller for a library system in Kansas City and began making puppets as props for my outreach visits. As I challenged myself with each new creation, testing new techniques and seeing what I could do, I found myself swamped with puppets! So now I offer them here on Bonanza and locally at craft shows. I've been making puppets professionally for over five years, designing & building them from scratch. I always look forward to new challenges to bring these funny creations to life and love the joy they bring to my customers.
KANSAS CITY RESIDENTS: If you live in Kansas City or the surrounding areas we can arrange pick up of the puppet to save on shipping!
SHIPPING: Shipping in the US only. This item is available for local pick up; if you live in the Kansas City metro area contact me to make arrangements.
*What's an Ortiz Design? No, it isn't some special Puppetry slang or term used in the industry. It's actually just what I call this particular design of puppet. When I design puppets, I make templates to re-use for future ones. One template can make dozens or even hundreds of different types of puppets! After making a puppet for my dad, he named it "Sillman", after a member of his clown club. I liked the idea, so to honor the members of the Kansas City Clowns I started naming certain puppet designs after different members of the club. That's all it is! ^__^
