IGGY! IGGY! IGGY'S Everywhere!

Iggy is a puppet!  
A monster? Maybe...  A goblin? Maybe... A troll? Maybe?
Iggy's are just that...  An Iggy!
And Iggy's are available now on the official Etsy shop of Elmwood Productions - Jon's Java!

And Iggy even has a little real history...

In 1994 Jim Henson Productions teamed up with Hasbro to make a line of toys based on the idea of "The Muppet Workshop".  As part of this they made two puppets, with removable features.  I was just really starting to want to take puppetry kinda seriously as a hobby, or life and these were awesome to me.  Especially as a Muppet-head.  





I ended up buying both, and named them Iggy and Bowie.  The toy line didn't last long though - Here's a link to Muppet Wiki with more info on the puppets.

During the 2020 lockdown I decided to make my own version of the one I named Iggy.
 


 And then I realized it would be fun to make a bunch of them, some full professional and some more in the economy price range and get Iggy out into the world for more people to enjoy!
There are about a dozen of them now on available on Etsy!
In two different price ranges, a full professional puppet head sewn made with Nylafleece or Fuzzelle, and a more economy version made with classic polar fleece.
Check them out now HERE!
