Thanks Puppet Mom for the kind words. I made the glasses for Bernard from stripped heavy-gauge copper house wiring. I am having way too much fun making the new characters. Ripley is being rebuilt right now to be more performance friendly and he will also be able to squirt the kids. :)...

Hey All, I would really love some feedback on what you think about the new puppets! Be honest and constructive. Or just a hi is cool too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Director Davies Ripples Puppet Ministry

Hi... Add me. I've ordered before and certainly will again. You guys are great! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Director Davies Ripples Puppet Ministry

Hey Y’all It’s been a while since I have done a new post – busy making puppets J Bernard (based on the glorified sock puppet pattern) & Rasta Man (based on arms length production pattern) are finished and performing for our children at the ministry. Bernard’s full name is Bernard...

I have used SOC and found it is very good in limited circumstances. It is flexible, but not to the point that it would be good at a joint on a puppet. It will help your foam to last longer but you will sacrifice suppleness and performance under certain circumstances. We all struggle with...

Rubbe, Just a note - If you want to paint the foam, don't forget to use a sealer first and then paint them. This should solve your problem with soaking. I have found that a good primer will do the job and then I just grab my airbrush and have at it :) Best of luck...

Sounds good - I'm in Riverside! We otta have a Puppet Extravaganza :) ________________________________ Director Davies RipplesMinistry.org

No Probs with copyright issues? Just wondering - Looks like you could be opening yourself to a lawsuit since your selling them?

If your just starting - resin might be an easier and safer way to start. It is very easy to make a half-round mold and fill it with colored resin. If you use clear resin yuo can paint the eye in from behind for a very realistic effect. Also, you can make eyes from Super Sculpy - which is...
