You can make your own fleece taking a fabric and brushing it with this tool: https://www.google.it/search?q=cardatore&biw=1581&bih=931&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=9FXNVOTDJ-G_ygPevIHwBQ&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ the more you brush it, the more your fleece becomes fuzzy. Then you can shave it or groom...

Hi, I'm looking for puppeteering tutorials to understand the art of puppeteering. I really like the Paul Louis Muller series on youtube. Do you know some others video tutorials or do you made your own video tutorials to share? Thank you very much!

Yes It's thrue, it reminds of Bert... The goal will be make something original following standards patterns (maybe with some modifications). Now I'll try to experiment something with my own original patterns.

I've used Project puppets patterns to start but I have customized them.

Thank you, I'm trying to work on simple and stylized puppet, I think it helps to make them appealing.

almost done Thank you all for the support! well I'm gonna finish my first puppet, and at the moment I'm quite satisfied... I mean, as a first attempting to build a puppet, is fine, but I have to find the way to hide the seams. I definitively have to try antron fleece. some tips to hide seams...

Here the project I'll work on in the next days... Ladies and gentlemen, here he comes "Fra Diavolo"! (Brother Devil) http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2761/4168030652_44420de403.jpg

Actually you are right... now, I've found this fabric, in Italy, called "lana cotta", it's not felt, Its a kind of totally genuine wool fabric very similar in the aspect to Antron fleece, but more matte (less shiny, I mean) and it also is elastic enough. the only problem is it's cost, but it's...

I'm going to order few yards of antron fleece at puppet-mart, by the way I'm trying to find something similar in my country (I live in Italy). For that reason, I would like to ask if someone of you could post some pictures of antron fleece, front and back, so I can find something that is quite...

What about felt instead of Antron fleece? http://ny-image0.etsy.com//il_fullxfull.107320928.jpg

...And now, I have to buy Antron Fleece at Puppet-Mart too!

now I've got the entire simple series and relative adds on from project puppet. I think the patterns will be a good help to make great characters. thank you all for your professional suggestion.

Thank you, I think I'll start with a mouse, something I can syntetize in a simple sock pattern.
