Hi guys.. I'm new to the forum, but have been making puppets for a while. However I mostly make Plastifoam puppets. I just now started using polyfoam and fleece. The medium is much more affordable to work with and a lot more fun. I have used many techniques for fleecing my puppets, but I never seem to get it right.
I am using the techniques dictated in the foam book. For some reason though my skinning never looks right. The only thing I have not tried was skinning the puppet before assembly. Do you think this would be a good idea?
When I skin my puppets with Pine Fleece, the edges of the fleece seem to look ugly around the mouth especially. Should I skin head before putting the mouth piece in?
I guess it is hard to explain without showing you. I can say that my puppets look a lot like Scooter with eyes instead of glasses. Right where the mouth piece and the head join is where my problems seem to be dominate.
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks
