All of us at Unraku were thrilled to see Stacey’s puppets featured on the U.S. morning talk show The View!

Last year Stacey – who outside of her work with Unraku is pretty much the reigning Finger Puppet Queen of Etsy – was commissioned by the web’s most popular handmade craft marketplace to create a set of hand puppet caricatures of The View’s co-hosts Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Sherri Shepherd and Barbara Walters. The puppets were a special thank-you gift for Joy Behar, who wrote an article for Etsy’s blog.

The puppets were put in to service on the show last  week in a segment sending up some comments that Ricky Gervais had made during a recent interview on The View (and no, it wasn’t Stacey or anyone else from Unraku performing them). You can watch the entire segment on The View’s official web site (the puppets come in at about the 1:30 mark). Stacey also has a photoset her The View puppets on Flickr.

All of the ladies of The View seem to love their puppets and Stacey even got a “Promotion consideration provided by staceyrebecca.etsy.com” credit at the end of the show. Way to go Stacey!
