Oh, my! Americanplume.com is in my backyard! I never knew this resource was available to me. Thanks for posting this. Sheesh!

I don't know what we all think of this, but it might be another option. I don't think they're all up to speed yet, but it could be worth looking in to. http://www.lowdeftv.com/ I'm cool with quicktime and all, I'm just worried about how large my final file might be. I've been doing a...

Oh, I'd love to be involved. Let me know any details as they emerge. This could be very fun. For real! You should post this over at toughpigs.com too, I know there's some puppet enthusiasts there.

Just one Audrey II...well, actually that's not true...years ago (1988) when I was in 6th grade I made an Audrey II in art class out of a football and plaster of paris. Then a couple years later I made another out of a failed attempt at a scooter puppet. They have not survived. Plus, they...

Thanks for the heads-up. How did you hear about this again? I did a search on variety.com, but nothing came up there. None the less, thanks. By the way, how is the puppetry world in Canada. Is it very active?

Howdy DPuppet, I post here occasionally. You can see some of my puppets in the link below in my signature. I'm an aspiring puppeteer, trying to change careers, and get out of an office! My recent puppets are my own creation, but I'm sure you'll see some influences...hee hee. I'm currently...

Do you mean the NYC or NY State?

I don't know if you're on a mac or not, but from geethree.com, they have software that can do it. I don't know if they have PC version, but it is inexpensive. I still haven't tried mine yet, however. Patrick

Right! There are usually white-ish in color and they come in various sizes. They're usually used for teddy bear arms, but I've used them for my puppet's arm and they are useful inside the palm of a puppet's hand for arm rod attachments. Although, I've yet to perfect that technique. I think I...

I've been thinking the same thing. Here's what I'm thinking of doing: Either, just hot glue it there. I know that might be temporary if I get crazy using the puppet, but I've had luck with hot-glue thus far (I just used "thus" in a scenetence, go me.) Or, I'm thinking of attaching a doll...

Hey Jonathan, Do you know what materials you'd like to use? I'd totally recomend foam, fleece, fake fur or feathers for the hair. Ummm, I think you'll need to decide that first. Try making a mock-up with felt. It will give you a sense of what you'd want your finished product to look like. If...

Yes, yes, I'm cold and heartless...oh the burden of being evil...ho hum...none the less, my Kermit is so much happier now that he doesn't have to only speak 4 lines. I've given him a real voice. Its all for the better. I haven't taken it apart totaly, just enough for use as puppet. I actuall...

Hey All, I don't know if this has been discussed yet... OK, so I won an auction on ebay not long ago of the Kermit Frogtographer from Macy's with the intent of turning it into a puppet. A friend already gave me one for my birthday back in December and ever since then, I've thought, "that...

Well, I guess my 2 real questions are: 1. Are they good to work for, if I actually did get hired? 2. Is there any flying involved to show locations? I haven't actually done any professional puppeteering, but I know I have the skills for it. I'm looking for a change in careers, and I...

Hey All, Has anyone had any experience being involved with the Seasame Street Live touring productions? I just read on the Puppeteers of America classified they are having auditions next week in Philly, and I'm considering trying out as a puppeteer. They are holding auditons for Costume...
