Successful Muppet recreations

[The Dreamer]

Has anyone successfully recreated their own favorite Muppet or Muppet-like characters? I'd love to see photos if anyone's got 'em! Other info, like how long the process took and various other challenges would be interesting to hear about too!

Great job on Beaker and Sam! I can't wait to see how your next creation turns out. The step-by-step photos on your website is a fantastic idea!

How did you go about making them?

Photos! Photos!

Photos of your creations would be good to see too!

My friend Teddy's made fabulous recreations of the Squirrelles! As soon as I find pics of them, I'll post them!

what materials would I need to construct a miss piggy?

 

[BorkBork]

No offence there, but if you don't know what materials to use, then you probably shouldn't go ahead and try to build a miss piggy puppet.
Try something easier, Bert, Earnie or other basic puppets. Start from the bottom and work your way up, it's easiest that way
