    Eight Balls of Fur puppet

    Thanks! They ended up being a little more work than I thought. Originally I was like "OK, a furball is simple. Get some fur fabric, use a baseball template, done." But, the yarn weft fur is so cool looking, I just had to do it. Hope all the work pays off!

    Eight Balls of Fur puppet

    No worries! I play guitar, bass, drums (simple stuff, I'm no Neil Peart), piano, ukulele, a tiny bit of accordion...and spoons. Theres not much demand for spoons though. :D

    Eight Balls of Fur puppet

    Honestly...I dont know, its still ongoing. The theme is to do something sesame street inspired, so theirs could be as simple as a replica build, but its encouraged to write or re-imagine a skit and to use whatever other skills you have to make your presentation. I'm probably a complete dummy for...

    Eight Balls of Fur puppet

    Just a quick update. I'm nearly done recording my music cover of Eight Balls of Fur. I figured, I might as well go all the way this project and do something with the music too. I can play all the instruments,but I'm a terrible singer, so it would be cool if I could find someone to sing it...

    Thats awesome. Easily one of the best replicas I've seen.

    Eight Balls of Fur puppet

    A quick revision...I messed up on the teal furball because I didnt know what to expect with the yarn weft, so it came out really fluffy. So, with half its fur on, I trimmed its fur down. I ended up finishing it, but it came out looking like it got a bad haircut. 0_o

    Muppet Fan Confessions

    Totally agree. I had no idea what New Wave music or MTV was back then, so it did'nt make sense as a parody to me. I remember being utterly freaked out by Frazzle (the song...and the monster too for that matter). The Phillip Glass scored animations were like a drug trip. Even Eight Ballls of Fur...

    Muppet Fan Confessions

    Yeah, I thought the same thing. Theres alot of "Muppet bands" that it would have been cool to see more of, but I guess a one time thing is better than none. Oh well, we can always wonder... Also, I feel better knowing I wasnt the only one kinda freaked out by "Wet Paint".

    Eight Balls of Fur puppet

    OK, so heres a shot of four furballs I've made this far. Like I mentioned, I went a new direction with the fur. I wanted something shaggier that had a good amount of movement. I was advised to try yarn wefting. Its typically used for dolla hair, but logically you should be able to to get fur out...

    Does anybody think you're weird for watching Sesame Street?

    Hey even at my age, I still love all those 80's -90's skits. Nothin wrong with it at all. I'll even find myself singing lines from eight balls of fur!....when nobodys looking of course...

    Eight Balls of Fur puppet

    Hi guys. So I'm in a puppetry class and for a finals project, we had to choose something inspired by Sesame Street. So, I chose to make puppets of the furballs from Eight Balls of Fur. This shows my first one, though I am going in a new direction with the fur, but I hope I was on the right...

    Favorite number songs

    Hmm... "One and One Make Two", I think that was Bert & Ernie, I've liked. Perhaps a bit off topic but I just remembered. A friend of mine wanted some information on another number song, I think it was "Eight Balls of Fur". Personally, I've got no idea what this one is, so If anyone can...
