Here is my finished Chocolate Chip Muffin. His name is Chippy! I did dye him and put his eyes in using black Fimo (oven bake clay) with embedded screws. I did find it easier to embed the eyes using cardboard washers and nuts from the underside before attaching the top of the muffin onto the mechanism plate.
Here is my large carving. The raffia beard will be made of 3 rows of folded raffia which was steam pressed after these photos were taken to make it lie flat. The mouthplate has been inserted and the rest of the mask puppet is ready for painting.
Finished the mech for my muffin and the carving out of the head for the turtle. I also am beginning to build the shell for the turtles back and fabricate the body.

both of your puppets look fantastic! The raffia worked out great and really solidifies the mask look!
