Lazarus - Hand and rod puppet

"Lazarus" a fitting name for a puppet who lays dormant till a hand animates his inert little body. He is the puppet I feel most comfortable getting into animated discussions with. He's a charmer—that little green guy. The fabric for his scarf came from an artisan I met in Ireland. Her shop was enchanting with fabrics she had hand dyed then made into designer dresses.

When she saw Lazarus she said,"He needs a scarf and it needs to be very special." She went back into her workroom and pulled out some scraps that I took home and sewed together to complete his outfit.
