Little Bear Sobie – Joyful Dreamer
$45,00
I’m Sobbie, the Little Bear puppet with dreams as big as the universe. Allow me to share my colorful story. Unlike my plush cousins, I’m crafted from ceramic, making me as solid as a rock. But don’t be fooled by my hard exterior; inside, I’m all about spreading joy and laughter.
From the moment I was created, I’ve aspired to grace the grand puppet stage. Every night, I perform my own rendition of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears,” taking on all the roles with flair. My highlight is proclaiming, “Someone’s been sitting in my chair!”—a line delivered with such zeal that my little ceramic paws often send chairs flying in all directions.
Yet, my talents don’t stop there. I’ve dabbled in various other performances, such as “The Ceramic Nutcracker,” where I played a brave soldier, and “The Enchanted Forest,” where I portrayed an adventurous explorer. Each show is an opportunity to bring a different character to life, even if my movements are a bit clunky and my dance steps sound like a series of delightful clinks.
Despite my inflexible exterior, I’m renowned among my fellow puppets as the merrymaker. I love forging friendships, sharing my handcrafted ceramic cookies, and hosting spirited dance-offs. Though my dance moves are more rigid than rhythmic, each cha-cha-cha adds a cheerful chiming sound to the party.
My breakthrough moment came when I was cast as “The Courageous Little Bear” in a local puppet show. My ceramic bravery charmed the audience, and my signature move had everyone in stitches. I realized then that my true talent lies in bringing smiles and laughter to those around me.
So, here I am, a small ceramic bear with enormous dreams, proving that even the hardest of surfaces can illuminate the world with joy. Because in this grand theatre of life, it’s not about what you’re made of, but the happiness you share with others that truly shines.
The Joyful Dreamer: Meet Sobbie, the Little Bear Who Inspires Big Smiles!
Would you like to know how a little puppet like me came to be? Let me tell you my story!
First, I was crafted from wood to create molds. Seven molds were needed for me, little puppet—head, body, arms, legs, and tail. Crafting these molds was no small task, as each had to be designed perfectly to ensure smooth casting. Ceramic material was poured into them and left just long enough before being emptied to leave a thick, sturdy shell behind. Once I dried, I was carefully removed from the mold, my seams smoothed, and any imperfections cleaned with great care. Even my pouring hole was sealed to keep my head intact and ready for the next step.
Next, holes were drilled into me for threads and leather hinges to hold me together later. This part required precision, as no one wants a crooked or lopsided puppet! After spending days drying, I went into the kiln for my very first firing. Later, I was soaked in Pyrolusite, which added beautiful shadows to my surface, giving me a little extra charm. Then, it was back into the kiln, where I became stronger, more durable, and ready for the next stage of my creation.
Then came the most exciting part—my colorful transformation! I was painted from head to toe in vibrant hues, with expressive eyes that let me finally see the world around me. Screw eyes for strings were securely glued, and leather joints were carefully added to ensure my movements were smooth and natural. Each joint was perfectly adjusted—because who wants a little puppet with mismatched arms or legs?
Finally, strings were meticulously tied to my limbs and connected to my controller. After all this detailed work, I was officially finished—a charming, fully functional little puppet, ready for magical adventures and endless stories. Now you know, it’s no small feat to create a little puppet like me!
