Noisette is a small (very small) squirrel hand puppet I made as a pet for a LARP character. He was meant to have an moveable mouth but he turned out to be so tiny it wouldn't have worked properly anyway so I just sewed it shut. I can animate his head and front paws with my fingers. He was a pain to make specially because I had only one kind of fur, which had a medium pile, which was too long for such a small squirrel. So I had to shave him down all over. I left the long hair of his cheeks, though. And some on his chest as well. And of course his tail and ears. He doesn't have back paws at the moment, I figured he didn't really need any since he'll be sitting in my arms most of the time, but I might add some later.
