Mr. Beak wants to run away from the circus, and become an accountant.  I made him a few years ago, and he was my last venture into papier mache for heads and hands.  He condescendingly suggested that if I thought I was so clever I should try making an all-cloth hand puppet, and see how I liked that.  Well, I liked it just fine.  The unfinished blue hand puppet is my prototype for an all-cloth puppet, and he seems to be much less hard-nosed about things than Mr. Beak is.
