Hi puppetguy, I can certainly understand that you want “value” for your money, and I can understand that $150 may be pricey for a puppet pattern. From your post however, it looks like you are looking for a professional puppet pattern. If that is what you are looking for, it is going to cost...

I just got my email about the new pattern. The melonhead looks interesting. I can’t wait to try it!

Hi Easy Zee, I think that what you are talking about is flocking. Here is a link to a previous discussion about it. http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=13402&goto=nextoldest Steve Axtell also has an article about it. http://www.axtell.com/flock.html I hope this helps.

I use plastic storage tubs for transporting my puppets. I also have a puppet rack made out of a plywood base and PVC uprights that goes inside the tubs. I store my puppets on the puppet rack on a shelf. I suppose that you could store the puppets on the rack and in the plastic tubs. One...

I have used plastic spoons with the handle cut off and sanded for the white of the eye. I then added a round dot of felt for the pupil. Like everyone has said here, use your imagination. Come up with something unique.

If you are interested in making a prototype and pattern, I would highly recommend Dave Privett’s FROM SKETCH TO SHOW PATTERNING A PUPPET DVD. Dave has an excellent technique for making a prototype and developing a pattern from it. http://www.playsoup.com/store/video6.htm I hope it helps!

Thanks Buck. I’ve looked at the memory wire I get on a Google search. It’s not the same type of wire. The memory wire that comes up is for making jewelry and quite expensive. I probably do not have the right name for the wire. It holds its shape well and can be folded up into a smaller...

I am making some three dimensional props. I had the idea of using the wire that is in sunshades for your car and in collapsible laundry baskets as the frame. That way I could collapse the whole prop for storage and transportation. The only problem is that I don’t know where to look for the...

Believe it or not, I needed a single puppet stand for this weekend. Guess what I’m going to use. This was truly inspirational!

I quickly looked through the links and see if this one is listed and didn’t see it. I recently got some reticulated (Scott) foam from then Dallas Puppet Theater. It was a reasonable price, quick delivery, and a friendly staff to order from. They also have other puppet related products...

Good question Buck. On its website, the company (Arms Length Productions) describes itself as: “Arms Length Productions is a company that manufactures puppets designed by David Pannabecker and makes them available to the marketplace for use in live performance. . .” It also goes on to say...

I was just on the Arms Length website. Dave has his puppets for sale again! The website has also been updated.

I've ordered mine too. I can't wait. I've got several puppets to build for this next year and I need to get started.

Ravagefrackle is right. They are probably ministry puppets. Because they are almost 20 years old, the exact designs may not be in production. Based on the look of the puppets they could have come from either One Way Street or Puppet Productions. The look of the puppet’s nose makes me...
