Texas Blue Crab puppets

I designed these and then built them in 3 days, which was such a (fun) whirlwind!

They're for Heather Henson's show Celebration of Flight: A Crane Story.

Here's me and Heather playing around with them:

They were made out of all natural materials. Here they are in progress... 

Come pin with me!
