My name is Tippety Twig,
I was born in a Woods near you,
I am friends with the Birds, Bees and Hoverflies,
The Badgers and Foxes too.
I like to sing songs and poems.
I love to squawk with Crow.
And I like to spend time with Robin,
As she forages in the snow...
So I hope you'll enjoy the stories,
The poems and songs as well,
That soon will be revealed,
As this website begins to tell...
Tippety Twig, Tippety Twiglet and Mirthful Merryweather are puppet characters that I made for my children when they were small.
The original Tippety Twig was made by sticking together a Lebanes Cedar Cone for the head; two Sessile Oak Acorns for eyes; the middle point of a Lebanese Cedar Cone, when all of the seed flakes have fallen off, for a nose; and a Sycamore pair of seeds for a mouth. I tried to capture the expressions of innocence and wonder from my children aged 18 months, for Tippety Twiglet and 3 years for Tippety Twig.
