    Mild ranting

    I've worked as an artist for over 15 years, and every year, it's the same. Nobody has any clues about what it takes to make something, they just assume that because you're an artist that you're lowly, and cheap. I stopped living like an artist about 10 years ago, and I'm not interested in...

    Expect some pics in a bit. The silicone I buy is not something you can get at Michaels. You can probably get it from Smooth-On. I buy some stuff called GI-1000, which is blue in color when cured. I use 80331 polyurethane resin for the eyes. After they've cured, I polish them smooth with steel...

    Frog Of Thunder.

    Cut some ping pong balls in half, glued them to a piece of foam core. Made a box for it to sit in, and then poured silicone in over top. Waited for it to cure, and voila, molds.

    Apparently I bought the crappiest ping pong balls, because when I went to cut them in half, they would either break, or the Xacto knife would cut through them wrong, and then of course... Gouge me. I made a set of molds, and instead of fighting with ping pong balls, I can just drill a hole and...

    Anyone need eyes for their puppets? I pulled a half dozen out of my molds, and they look awesome.

    It's a cool puppet. Not sure why there's no takers.

    Thanks Yeti, I got sidelined with making muppet parts. I decided I'm going to be making a Fozzie, and a Gonzo to go with the Kermit for my short film. Now I need the fur for Fozzie, and of course the pertinent materials for Gonzo.

    Your Thoughts: Emmet Otter Musical

    I wish I could go to see this. I bought the DVD and remembered it from when I was a kid. It still brings tears to my eyes at points just watching it. Even if it was only a tenth of how good the show was, it would be better than most of the Christmas stuff out there.

    http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/6429/backsdg9.jpg Here's the pic of the backs. For the mouth, I used some leather, which is flexible, yet will hold its shape nicely. I need to add a little stuffing to the heads so they fill out nicely. I planed down the nose a bit so it wasn't so pointy...

    Apparently Antron Fleece is what they make the Muppets out of.

    Torso Fronts, and eyes prior to the silicone for the mold.

    Not sure how many people need ping pong ball sized eyes, but I have a mold made, and can make them.

    I poured the silicone for my eye molds today. So no more cutting up ping pong balls.

    I'm learning a lot about muppet construction. I want to actually be decent at it when I get the right materials.
