It's an ongoinging photojournal of the construction of my first puppet. If anyone has any tips, please let me know.
Here's something that's been bugging me for a while: I'm going to cover my puppet with fleece, and the fleece covering instructions say that you can just make the hands out of fleece and stuffing instead of foam. However, I'd like to make hands with poseable fingers and arm rod tubes, which leads me to the conundrum of how to construct them. If I make them out of foam, I'd either have to dye the foam to match the fleece or somehow cover the hands with fleece, but if I make them out of the fleece, the wires and tubes will probably shift around in the stuffing.
I know there are plenty of master puppetbuilders around here who can help with this...
