I'm still recovering from the awesomeness of MegaCon last weekend, but as our dear Junk Lady is rapidly making the rounds online, I figured I'd throw together a quick update for those of you not on FB and/or Instagram - and also answer a few FAQs from around the interwebz. First, we decided early on to go ahead and call our Junk Lady Agnes, so I could call instructions to John (who wore her most) without breaking character in the crowd. Here she is with Roxy the Rancor: It was an ordeal just getting Agnes onto the con floor, since she's too tall for average elevators and of course can't handle many stairs because of balance issues. We had to bring her in through the back loading docks of the center both days. I won't bore you with details, but suffice to say this was incredibly stressful. o.0 pic by @Dwayne1977 (The Blue Worm on the back was a hit; I like having a fun surprise for folks who take the time to look all the way around!) Agnes definitely commanded more attention than any of our previous cosplays, to the point on Friday afternoon where I actually started to panic - and I wasn't even the one in the costume. We just couldn't GET anywhere, period. Literally every 5-10 feet we'd be stopped. Add to that the fact that I kept getting lost (I swear that enormous vendor room looks the same from every angle) when *I* was supposed to be leading, and it was, again, rather stressful. By contrast, when I wore Agnes for the last few hours of Friday it was quite fun and even relaxing, since I had a built-in bubble to hide in, and could rely on John to lead me around. John wore Agnes for all the really strenuous stuff, though, so I didn't have to field many obstacles. Being Agnes' handler is a full-time job: I was continually scanning the floor for bumps (even the tiniest crack would pitch the cart forward, since it was so top heavy), clearing the crowd, answering questions, directing John for photos, watching out for pranksters (one older guy - like, gray-headed older - actually banged on her drum. >.

I made this guy over the weekend and, honestly, it turned out better than I could have hoped. With that said let me tell you of my epic fail. I set out with this puppet to create a body for the snake that would bend easily but also appear smooth like a snake. I designed the foam like the ribs of a snake hopping to get the same movement, and then I glued coat hangers into the inside of the ribs for strength. After that I sewed nylon to the outside of the foam for form and then covered it with fleece and... FAILURE! It was too much, and there were wrinkles everywhere! So I scrapped it all and just made a simple tight-fitting sleeve instead, and it worked fantastically.
Our michievous Brownie fairy familiar is a unique gargoyle-like creature, single-wire shoulder puppet, fantasy pet. He is a bit gothic and makes an interesting familiar friend for the Renaissance Faire, Comicon, Cosplay, LARP or a Halloween costume. This Blue Brownie has shiny black marble eyes, whitish teeth, and genuine black rabbit fur. Movable Brownie can sit by your computer or on a shelf to scare off intruders. See him in action on YouTube: https://youtu.be/jX1X5tsrsRA Add him to your fantasy or fictional character costume. Kids enjoy this puppet, too! Optional Chainmaille coif (either brass plated, silver plated, or stainless steel. (Faux fur is available upon request). MEASUREMENTS: About twice the size of an average-size human hand, this puppet measures approximately 10" long from highest to lowest tip and 8" wide (at widest point), When upright, he sits at about 8“ tall. ***Since each puppet is a unique piece of hand-formed art, measurements are approximate. COLOR: Available in any color, like black, red, gray, or white – click “Request Custom Order” – If the puppet is for Comicon or a RenFaire, we’ll match your costume! MOVABLE & WEARABLE: Your creature’s head moves both vertically and horizontally, controlled by a knob at the end of a single-wire mechanism, giving the puppet life! The puppet is shaped to sit on your shoulder comfortably. To keep your fantasy friend super safe while perched on your shoulder, consider adding the following to your order: (1) Request strong earth magnets to be added to the underside of your creature (to be used with a piece of metal under your shirt). (additional charge) (2) Request a leather harness for the puppet. (additional charge) MATERIALS: Durable polymer clay is sculpted and shaped by hand (no molds) over a wire skeleton into multi-sectioned, movable puppet parts. The clay is then baked.

Please read the shop policies section on “Custom Orders” for more information. UNIQUENESS: VARIATIONS IN COLOR OR EXPRESSION: Each puppet will be extremely similar to the photo shown; however, because each puppet is a handmade piece of art, shaped forms, as well as color shades, tones, and markings, may vary slightly from photo (color may also vary due to variation in dye lots or your computer's resolution). If applicable, trims, fur, feathers, markings, glitter work, glue placement, feather size, shapes, etc. may be a bit different on each puppet. You have the option of choosing real or faux fur, feathers, scales, number of horns, wings/wingless to make this your own, unique, special creature / pet! Some puppets have leather wings or accessories. Leather is a natural product, and each individual hide has a slightly different character. Natural markings, tone/color variations, and slight imperfections such as scratches, scars, or wrinkles should not be considered defects, but rather part of the character and beauty of natural leather. "Gold, Silver, Pewter, Bronze, Copper" etc. are color names or descriptions for paint, clay, or chainmaille appearance and may not actually be made of those materials.
