Puppet Eyes- the eyes have it!


Puppet Eyes.  The Eyes have it!  The  faces below were meant for making expressive  puppet faces. 
But the other day, I was trying to answer questions  at the medical clinic,  about how my ninety year old father was doing.  I was sitting alongside him.   I imagine some of my facial expressions -while wearing a mask- looked something like this:  

1. Normal gaze.  
2. Small centered pupils-spooky gaze!



1.         2.
3. Sideways glance-wary or fearful.
4. Pupils on the inside of the eyes-
   Don't ask, perplexed, or angry!



3.                                   4.
5. Pupils look like commas-alert!            Interested.
6. The up and one down pupil-it's the who knows  look.

5.       6.
The eyes have it! 

If you check out my blog posts during the 2012 years,  I have several posts on how to embellish flat felt hand puppets. The above facial examples will be helpful.
