Looks good. You've built your own other puppets, too, right?

You may want to play around with the tongue and the black 'bit' (the technical term escapes me at the moment). They don't seem central, have a look a the puppet, perhaps in a mirror. Think the tongue shape looks wrong as well, may just be me though.

The colour and the eyes look good, but the seams could do with hiding a bit more if you're going for a replica.

hi,

looks good so far. but I'd make the color more "spring green" than "mid tone mint green". (needs more yellow) the eyes look good, general shaping is good. the pink part of the tongue needs to be smaller.

good luck!

Not bad,but it seems your Kermit is very large than it should be.Unless your sewing machine is very small!!!

A lot of you don't realize that the camera often distorts the way that puppets look in the pictures, especially when you do close up shots. They may look a lot closer in person than they do in these pictures.
