Hi all! I'm assuming at least a few people here are familiar with the late comedian/puppeteer Wayland Flowers with his puppet character Madame. I was just curious if anyone had any insight or guess as to how she is made, exactly? It looks like she has a hard head, with a fabric body. Simple...

Thank you very much! That will help...

Hi! I have made several Muppet replicas in the past, and am now planning on making a Cookie Monster or Oscar the Grouch replica. I was wondering if anyone had done this before, and how you went about making the head of this puppet? I planned on making Cookie one consistent piece of fur, but I...

JoseG-i recently found this thread, and I am making a cookie monster replica right now! I was wondering, how did you make your head? is there any foam in it? Did you sew it all and THEN put foam in? Or did you sew the fleece around the mouthplate...?

Thanks for the great info! I know it's been a while, but just out of curiosity, how was the nose made? sculpted foam and fleece covering? stuffed fleece?
