✷ MY ART JOURNEY ✷ & how i fell in love with puppetry

[@CioChoux]

Wowwww!!! And all this time (from the first time I saw Honey and Pinky on Instagram) I thought you were someone who used work in Jim Henson-related productions! So Honey and Pinky are technically Covid-babies?! Amazing journey, Ms. Ragmop! Super glad you re-found your puppetry passion. Kudos to your special partner in crime as well (Gus/Goose)! I understand he is the voice behind the ping-pong eyed faces and I enjoy his humor! You two make a great team!!! Looking forward to more charactners and adventures with your creations!

I’ll never forget how the whole room fell in love with Tuna at the talent show. She was such a great surprise and truly stole the show.

ive been in love with puppets my entire life but was always too embarrassed to actually make one. i came across ur videos and they really helped me get the courage to make a puppet for the first time so thank you sm!! puppets are something i hope are going to be with me for the rest of my life :D

[@RagmopandGoose]

Omg!! That makes me sooo happy!! I’d love to see your puppet! Keep making ❤️

This video was so interesting! I've loved puppets as long as I can remember, but I've only recently gotten into making/preforming with them. I'll definitely have to check out that documentary you mentioned

[@RagmopandGoose]

Oh please do! it's so inspiring. I also recommend the one about Caroll Spinney! :)

A very inspiring video! I’m an illustrator, but I also make puppets for fun!

[@RagmopandGoose]

Thanks for watching! I took a look at your illustration work and it’s beautiful! I’d love to see your puppets!

[@ABrickinTime]

Thanks for the inspiration! Did you ever watch the TV show wienerville on Nickelodeon? They had some cool puppet work.

Thank you for sharing your journey as an artist. I too shut down my photography business due to covid - one of the hardest decisions I've ever made. Now I'm solely concentrating on making art.

[@RagmopandGoose]

Ah Im sorry to hear! Was it because you felt you were ready to do something else (ie: art) or it just seemed unsustainable to maintain in our new world? I’m glad you’re working on art though! ❤️

[@GillianCrossArt]

@@RagmopandGoose Partly because I hate marketing, partly realising that maybe covid was giving me the chance to close the business. I had been doing the art alongside all the time I was self employed but it always got pushed aside. So full steam ahead with art (except I've just had to take a part time job to get a regular income).

[@RagmopandGoose]

@@GillianCrossArt omg that’s exactly the case for me, I feel ya! Good luck to you on your new art adventure!! ❤️❤️
