Philippine Polymer Clay Guild "Finger puppet Challenge"

For the month of October, the Philippine Polymer Clay Guild conducted a halloween-themed finger puppet challenge.

I was thinking about what character to do for this challenge over lunch, when our black cat, Tonton, appeared at my side, begging for table food.


How can you resist these begging eyes :)
Since halloween is all about witches, ghouls, ghosts, etc. I decided to make Tonton my muse.

Design sketches for my puppet character using Paper by 53 (I love this app!)
Using a metal thimble for the base, I sculpted the cat first then added the broom and the pumpkin on
each side. Here's the finished product:

Feline Familiar by Crazy Notions
I named my piece "Feline Familiar" since black cats are known to be a witch's familiar.
