Work has begun on Whale Boy’s Puppets.

Visiting Kathy’s workshop is like stepping into a whimsical wonderland, where puppets in progress hang from the ceiling like eccentric marionettes, and the floor is a dance floor of wood shavings.

But don’t be fooled by the charm and laughter; behind the mirth lies a master craftsman who pours her heart and soul into each puppet she carves. Kathy’s creations may be goofy, but their craftsmanship is nothing short of exquisite.

So, if you ever find yourself in need of a good laugh or a touch of magic, follow the sound of chisels and the scent of sawdust. You’ll discover Kathy’s puppet sanctuary, where base wood becomes enchanting puppets that are sure to tickle your funny bone and warm your heart.

Kathy’s workshop will be busy making whales, a seagull and a family.
It all starts with a chunk of basswood and a sharp knife.
