Muppets and Friends - a Tribute to Jim Henson, Gobo Fraggle and Sprocket - 5/17/2020

​Let the Fraggles Play! Down in Fraggle Rock!! Who else loved these characters? I had a hard time picking a favorite from Jim Henson's incredible creations for this wonderful Collaboration celebrating the work and life of Jime Henson, but in the end, Sprocket and Gobo Fraggle won out. 

My grandparents used to tape this for me when I was a kid. They would then MAIL the VHS tape to me in Colorado. Yes, the 80s.
I loved how the show folded the fantasy world and puppet characters into the real world via characters like Uncle Traveling Matt, Sprocket, Gobo and Doc. The real-world scenes where Gobo and Sprocket interacted were always my favorites, where Doc didn't see the Fraggles for a long time and kept telling Sprocket there was nothing there. Notice the little light I put into the hole-in-the-wall cave, leading to the Land of Fraggles.

I spent so many happy hours in that world, created by Mr Jim Henson, an Artist I owe much inspiration to. I would not be the artist I am today without so many of his works, many of which you can see here in tribute in this very collab where my fellow sugar artists demonstrate their own joy and influences. Thank you! And, most delightfully amazing and unexpected, the Henson Legacy continues to Create. They Make NEW creatures, costumes, stories and worlds for us all to Be Inspired in. I think Jim would be tearfully delighted with the new work being done. It is nothing short of amazing. It would be a great dream come true to shift fields and be involved with such teams of artists. Thank you, Henson Inc, for the joy received and yet to be received. You are a Light

Big thanks and HUGE hugs to Vicki DP for being an fantastic Collab mommy during troubled times! BE SURE to visit the Entire Collaboration, it is chock-packed with stunning pieces: https://www.facebook.com/TCCmuppetsandfriends/

I'm also hearing a Fraggle Reboot is on the way! EEEEEE! These two were made with the help of Magic Colours & Caljava Fondx


Work in Progress, Fraggle Rock Gobo and Sprocket the Dog

Here's a few photos from the creation of this piece. This was created as a dummy, so while there was no Cake, the rest of the piece was Sugar Paste, Caljava Fondx with CMC powder. Muppets are deceptively difficult to get exactly right! Notice the little cave in the backdrop...​
