    Specific thoughts on lending puppets

    You had me at "Hey everyone" :) I think it's a great idea. I actually had considered the same kind of thing when coming up with the prizes for the Once Upon A Puppet Contest..ie. the Grand Prize Winner's puppet character would appear in a popular puppet web series or on PuppetGreetings.com...

    Puppet Contest 2007

    Hey, no links...we can't have the judges swayed before all the entries are submitted. :) And, yes, we are in the homestretch of the entry period. Approximately three days left! All the entries are looking great so far and I'm sure many more will be arriving in the next few days.

    Puppet Contest 2007

    Gordon, I could read your posts all day and be thoroughly entertained. :) The reason for the recommendation of the whipstitch or baseball stitch boils down to seam coverage. The closer you can stitch to the edge of the fabric (preferably a fleece with a nap) the less visible the seam will be...

    P of A Festival... COMPLETE!

    Ha! Yes, I guess there are a few design elements that stuck! ;) Well, I'm glad he ended up in/on your hands and that you are still able to use him to some extent now. And, Gordon, that's great! Next time take pictures!

    P of A Festival... COMPLETE!

    Well, I didn't make it to the festival this year, but I had to post after your comment, Gordon, about the "plate of spaghetti". Seems all you have to do is start slurping one noodle before a meatball smacks you in the mouth. :) Spencer Lott's puppet Mr. Fuzzy Face (aka Radar) was one of the...

    Wocka-Wocka... He's at it again!

    Yeah, it looks to me that the banana has been Photoshopped, and it appears that the eyes and nose (and maybe the brows) were Photoshopped in as well. They look like they came from a picture of an authentic Fozzie. The "Drop Shadow" effect around the nose is a give away and the discoloration and...

    My Muppet Puppets

    Hey ploobis, I'd love to check them out but I'm not seeing them! I'm not MySpace savvy, so maybe I'm showing my ignorance here. I clicked on "Pics" but it took me to the MySpace home page. Any suggestions?

    accurate size

    A great way to judge the size of the eventual puppet is to start with the mouthplate. A good size for an adult hand is 5 inches (that's 5 inches across the point of the mouthplate that bends in the back of the puppet's mouth). Then base the puppet's proportions on the mouthplate. Hope that helps!

    Plaskitt Lecture

    Though I hate to say out loud, personally I've been very disappointed since joining the PofA, and I agree with your point of view, Buck. I joined the PofA last year. Signed up as a company (Project Puppet). I heard from the local chapter a few months after I signed up asking me if I could teach...
