Z-Mo is a hand and rod puppet that I designed and created as a summer project over the summer of 2020. I designed the character, created the foam and fur patterns, learned how to sew, and even designed an eye mechanism through 3d modeling and 3d printing. When I finished the project it felt like such a waste leaving him on my shelf, so I created a TikTok to showcase my puppet, and learn the art of puppetry.
