I often have a hard time finding video and detailed explanations on rolling eye mechanisms. I'm sure it's rather simple but I seem to always end up pulling my hair out once I get thinking about it.
I think Buck is right, I really doubt Wembley had RC worked in to him. I think it was a simple...
Hello all,
I've posted a puppet that I've made for sale on ebay. Please click the link for more information.
Thanks :)

I agree with you there! I looked the company up and found them on Facebook. They do have some nice looking puppets on their page. I can't say the same for this cookie monster but hey, you can't blame a guy for trying! ;) A Puppet is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it, IMO. :)
I mentioned a new character I built and performed with at a house concert a few posts back. This is him in this video. I shot this video this past Thursday. His name is 'Bluey Armstrong' and I am really diggn' him.
Well the house concert was amazing! My friend who made a music video featuring puppets has officially released it to the world! We played together at the video launch party and we hit the front page of the newspaper the day after, (I'm so glad I was schmoozing with the reporter, unknowingly...
I would love to attempt to flock my own piggy puppet but what holds me back is the difficulty in choosing the right color of flock. I think you could order forever until you get the right color. I think that I will attempt to build my own pig using material with 4 way stretch that look similar...
I'm happy to say that Fox will be appearing with his buddy, Nicole Edwards, this Saturday night at a house concert. I will also be presenting my newest character at the show, (pics coming eventually). I'm hoping to get someone to tape the show for me so hopefully I will get some footage up.
Wally77, That looks good. I have a 6month old and a 2 3/4 year old and they keep me busy and happy. I am new to puppet building as well and I dedicate all of my spare time to it which is about 5% ;) I remember the days before kids when my time was completely mine; it was nice but kids are...
I've got two on the go right now but I can't seem to find the time to get them done. One of them will be performing on the 31st so I MUST finish his body. I'll try to post some photos if I can find time.
These forums are pretty quiet eh? I'm still pretty new here but my general impression is...
Yes, that's how I did it. I stuffed the arms with that fake halloween spider web stuff; like cotton balls. You can usually get it for cheap when they clear the Halloween stuff out.
HI all!
I introduced myself on the 'Introduce yourself' forum and I mentioned my first puppet build which is an original character called "Mr. FoxWorthy".......well, "Fox FoxWorthy" to be totally correct.
Long story short, as I was near completion on Mr. FoxWorthy, I heard of a local singer...
Thanks all!
I will eventually do her legs and feet; I've got her little black shoes already.
She'll be hanging out with my daughter while I do a bad impression. I can do some good muppet voices but PD is not one of them..lol! I'll do a video soon so you can all see! :)
Got the arms done and the dress officially on. Still needs arm rods, legs and feet but I'm happy with her so far. :)
Sorry for the sideways photos. They were embedding so I put them in directly and this is how they go in even though I did take the time to flip them the right way.
How about building puppets with memory foam? I haven't used it to date but I've got some available to me for me free. I can't see any issues with using it but what do some of you other builders think?
