Yesterday I posted the 1st finger puppet
– John Adams – I designed and crafted for MOD ‘Old Glory Americana’ themed
finger puppets (https://jeastofeden.blogspot.com/2018/07/old-glory-americana-finger-puppet-set.html); Abigail Adams is John’s wife and she is the 2nd of this
set to be completed. I worked steadily on Abigail last night from 8 p.m until around
1:30 a.m. this morning:
Abigail Adams FP FINISHED.
The more I look into the background of the
American Revolutionary War and those involved in it, the more I appreciate their
personal sacrifices and futuristic outlook. Hope is a revolutionary concept;
and hope is sadly lacking in America among Americans today :-(
As I mentioned yesterday, these finger puppets
could be a fun way to spice up the American History studies for the small fry
;-)

I am basically designing and crafting this
set for my 2018 Bazaar Cache, but will
make a set for anyone interested and messages me. The entire set will be
priced at $25, which is a fair price for them … and far below value for my
materials and hours put in – to date I have 10-1/2 Hours invested (of which I take 1 or 2 quick ‘pit stop
exits’ to the bathroom when needed. I am only asking ONE HOUR COST at minimum
wage for the entire set); and while using scraps to make the finger puppets,
I will need to purchase 3 skeins of yarn (@
$3.85 EA) to make the carry/storage pouch to put them into. As I stated in
the yesterday’s post, I ask $5 a piece for my finger puppets, but as you can calculate by what I just
posted … ALL the other finger puppets in this set will - for all intents and
purposes - be FREE; as well as the hours I put in last night; and will put
in until the set is completed and tagged. And my finger puppets are designed to
hold up under active and prolonged use: unlike those made in asia or south america
that can be purchased in children’s clothing stores and fall apart practically
before the cashier has closed the cashier’s drawer.
