The other day I bought my daughter, Lara, a puppet soft toy. This is a raccoon in a garbage can. There is Lycra below the fur of the raccoon's body, which seems to cover the forearm  The garbage can is also made of fabric. Lara has had so much fun playing with this soft toy that it made me wonder if anyone else has made a puppet bear?

If you have, could you please send me a photo to: Sandra@bearhug.com.au

I am thinking that this may be a fun article for the magazine

Hi Sandra
Funny you ask. I just finished a course at uni last week in World of Puppetry. I made a marionette bear for my final design. I got a HD for it and a invite to do some more and perform with my lec at her studio and send it to Belgium. I will photo tomorrow for you and send you some pics.
Cheers Peta

That's great Peta. I am interested in either a marionette puppet or the type you insert your hand inside of. I think puppets would make a great article.

I was going to make a hand puppet but I was a amazed by the marionettes. You could even make a bunraku bear puppet.

Funny, that you ask this now.
Yesterday I exhibited at the "Kurpfaelzer Baerentreffen" in Mannheim, Germany.
And guess what? My neighbours just had some really, really sweet puppet bears!
