white craft foam.. the same as the tongue. I just cut out a strip and shaped it like a row of teeth.

Hey guys! I've been gone a LOOOONG time from this place! I took a pretty extended break from the hobby to persue other areas. I got the bug again a while back and have built two more ArmsLength style puppets. My newest one is a blue spotted lizard. I built him completely from scratch using...

I thought this place was different from other "flame war" forums. Guess I was wrong. This is not how I choose to spend my spare time. I dont think I'll be coming here anymore.

Cool! have fun! Make sure you REALLY play around with the positions of the eyes and nose if you are going to make it a girl. The orientation of the facial features could really sell the idea of it being female. I played around with mine for about an hour solid, making different faces. It was...

LOL, sold! $150 Mods can delete this thread Thanks

Well, I got a non-paying high bidder so he's back up on ebay. He sold for 200 but the lady had to back out at the last minute due to some "emergency" Im such a nice guy. I didnt even hassle her about it. So anyway, here he is. Click for Auction Theres no reserve and a buy it now of $150. A...

Well, we got a winner folks, I guess the mods can delete this thread. Thanks guys Trent

Some things have happened and I am forced to put puppet building on the back burner. I will not be doing any puppetry nor building them. Therefore, I thought I'd post here to see if I could give my videos, pattern C, and instruction booklet a good home. As you probably know, the kit is $175...

Sweet! It looks great. Its amazing how different yours an mine look even though they are the exact same kit. Its so crazy how the shape of the nose and positioning of the eyes can change the age and personality so much. Great job. I even think he looks god without hair, or maybe balding...

I agree, I can't tell you how much I learned by just doing that one puppet. I feel like I could make all kinds of professional looking characters now from just watching the videos and learning as I go. Have a blast! Lets see some pics Jinx! Trent

I posted a similar thread in the for sale section but I thought I'd post it here also because I thought many of you (like myself) probably only visit the puppetry forum. check it out click here

Check it out! Click Here Thanks Trent

Right, I never had any intention of making any other puppets from the same pattern. I only kept the pattern in case I want to do one more puppet with the same head. That would destroy the patterns and since I cant reproduce them, it would be done with. My original statement was that I was...

Yeah, Im not sure about that either. I figure, I bought raw materials from Dave and made a custom puppet. I now own that puppet and would be free to sell it if I choose, just like if I bought a camera form sony and sold it on ebay, I wouldnt have to give them a % of the selling price. I...

I know, im actually thinking about selling Ardy and buying another kit. I really enjoy building them and I need the experience. I'll probably get kit A this time. I bought C because of the skin color and because it was a kid which is what I wanted. I didnt understand that any pattern could be...

His hands are proving to be more difficult. I think its because they are stuffed with polyester stuffing so it stretches the fleece tighter making the seams a bit larger. I'll definitely post some before and after pics though. stand by. Trent

Yeah, Im working on it. Like I said (dont remember if its in this thread or the armslength thread) Im getting rid of the seams. It just takes a while to do it right. I got his head done yesterday

Well, here's what I did. I found a boa at Hobby Lobby made of Maribou. It wasn't a full length one. It was only about 4 feet in length. Cost was about $4. I bought the short one so I wouldnt have tocut it. Since the feathers are basically just securedby being twisted up into a rope, if you...

Finished Ardy Yes, Ardy is made of the Antron fleece that came with the armslength kit. As far as the seams, yes they are nearly invisible, especially through a camera. But, if you take a straight pin you can tug and pull a little on the fibers around the seam and blend them together making...

Well, He's finished!!! just about anyway. I was having some trouble sewing the feathers on for his hair. I dropped him off at my mother's house because she is an excellent seamstress. She said she could finish it tonight. Im taking my wife to go see David Copperfield tonight for V-Day but...
