Moyes and Zeliboba
Christine Moyes (1946–1999) was a costume designer and a member of the Muppet Workshop. Among her contributions to Henson productions, she built Zeliboba for Ulitsa Sezam, the Russian co-production of Sesame Street, and devised Kermit's period outfits as Captain Smollett in Muppet Treasure Island.
Born in England and raised in Canada, she studied at the Banff School of Fine Arts in Banff, Alberta, and later at the Juilliard School after she and her husband moved to New York.
Moyes was one of several late Muppet and Henson alumni whose memory the book Quilting with the Muppets was dedicated to, along with David Velasquez, Richard Hunt, Jim Henson, and Moyes' colleague at both Juilliard and the Muppet Workshop, Thom Prager.
