Well, today I posted my first video on youtube.com. Ok, not a big deal for a lot of you. I decided the best way to show the revision in the design of the Folkmanis barn owl finger puppet was to make a video. I got out my trusty little digital camera and made a video of the barn owl finger puppet sitting on a tree stump near the front of our store.

 

It is a catchy display for people coming in and going out as we have the "Owl Babies" book there with the puppets. I asked Folkmanis about the revision, but they said it was not a redesign. So they don't have a new picture. But knowing that people really go by the pictures when they can't come in the store, I wanted to make sure you see the difference, even if slight.

 

The wings and the band around the face are a grayer color. Still brown but not as brown as before. The band around the face is also a bit wider. My guess is that it was difficult to cut and sew in the really narrow band in the earlier version.

 

But is is still cute and one of the most popular puppets and book and puppet combinations.
