Thank you both I guess project puppet foam would be the best bet for flexibility. For the needs of my current puppet design I might be using multiple types of foam. I considered using L200 for the body, and reticulated foam for the mouth area. I did some research on vacuum forming a while back...

Hi all I have a couple of questions on foam - Is this considered reticulated foam? If so have you worked with it? Link: http://www.thefoamfactory.com/outdoorfoam/outdoorfoam.html I compared the foam with project puppet's reticulated foam, and I found a couple of differences Thefoamfactory: 1...

Well, I don't live too far away from the center. I am so happy that it is only an hour away. I heard that the center would be expanding their Jim Henson collection sometime in 2012...which might be the perfect excuse to visit! Also I know that a lot of places are kind of secretive on their...
