I could'nt forget my lastest copyright infringment... He was just a photo prop, or so I said. Something magical happened as this puppet came together. I found myself falling in love. I would wake with great anticipation of building his next limb. Visiters to the house stopped at the construction table to touch (!) and animate him before his head was even attached! All Kermit has to do is open his mouth to win you over. He could look deep in thought as he did most of his basket moments with me ( I was grieving the lost of Bengi my horse, his long arms would welcome a hug!) He sat up on the arm of the chair with his legs in lap. I swear he would laugh as if being tickled when I would analyse his feet and imagine shoes on them. I found shoes for a DOG and bought them but he was greatly insulted by that. So we went shopping for real shoes. It was suddenly like having a 4 year old in the house again. He will be used in a upcoming photo shoot but his fate is sealed. He belongs..to me. My Grandchildren are but a twinkle in my children's eyes at the moment...but one day, Kermit will be the entertainer he was destined to be. Just with out Hollywood. And who knows..maybe there is a Miss Piuggy on the left side of my brain too.
