Parrot Puppet:

I started making this in a workshop that I took with the puppet makers, the Frouds (of The Dark Crystal).

I didn't take photos of the beginning process in the workshop, however, here are the photos of the decorating of the puppet and later adding a body, wings, and legs.

The fabric used on the head, wings and tail is made from the leftover "trash" fabric from Flamebuoyant Productions poi ball manufacturing.
