    In this past year, I've noticed that it definitely time for bifocals for me. Getting old sucks....

    I was repairing a Herry Monster puppet that is now in the post to it's new owner.
    At some point in it's life, this Herry had his pupils redrawn rather choppily with a sharpie and he looked even more crazy than he should. I was merely making nice beautiful circles back in the place they should be. Nothing really remarkable. Just nice and round. I, unfortunately, did not take any pics of this operation. Tho, now that you mention it, I probably should have just in case the new owner has any issues.

    Some day I'll have to get some pics up of my other live hand puppets.

    Somewhere buried in the archives of the museum are some pics of some of my Sesame Muppets.

    My wife has them...well sort of....she wears contact lenses for distance and has a pair of reading glasses that she uses for up close reading. I have noticed that my near sighted vision is starting to get weaker over the years so I will probably go the same route.

    I got bifocals a couple of months ago. They're progressive, and after a few weeks I had no trouble anymore. First weeks were tough, though.
    At times, I do just remove my glasses to see something really up close.
    Making custom figures had become too much of a hassle (glasses on-glasses off), so I had to switch to bifocals.

    I'm in the same boat. My head painting was suffering. I got a pair of cheaters at a drug store and was shocked/mildly horrified to realize how much my near sightedness has diminished.
