    1st puppet progress

    It was not an attack, Ravage. Your work and experience speak for themselves, and because of that, many, who are learning, look to you for advice. I think everyone on the board greatly appreciates your contributions, insight, and guidance. My biggest fear is that someone may get discouraged...

    1st puppet progress

    Gasket rubber, foam, foam core, wood, cardboard, chipboard, plastic sign material, and anything else you can think of or at least find in your garage - use what suits your needs the best and the material with which you feel most comfortable working . THERE ARE NO RULES! Sean Johnson used foam...

    Foam cubes available at Wal-Mart Supercenters

    Rogers Foam will slice reticulated foam up for you at any thickness. Their info is here. But, as you said, Puppet Builder, killer expensive. I don't even want to think what any thickness over an inch would cost.

    Open Source Puppetry Project

    Everyone in the project will be sharing the videos they create - that's a given. The videos are almost automatically covered by copyright laws. I know when it comes to open source software - the code is the shared information (usually with a statement at the top of the code saying it was created...

    Open Source Puppetry Project

    I'm a bit confused by your comments, Buck. Common sense would tell a person that with any undertaking there is a cost involved, whether it be time, money, energy or other resources. The above quote is from the PuppetVision Blog. Wouldn't you agree that some sort of cost would be involved in...

    Open Source Puppetry Project

    I certainly did not mean to imply that using a Project Puppet pattern would be a requirement. I'm all for creativity and doing things inexpensively. I'm just offering for anyone who would want it. I definitely don't think using a pattern that was purchased, whether it be from Project Puppet...

    Open Source Puppetry Project

    Amen, MGov. The website should just be a central "meeting place". Patterns? I'm working on the Monster Series. However, it may be longer than I had anticipated because of a puppet building project that I'll be involved in for a month or so. At any rate, for those who want a pattern or who...

    Avenue Q Contest and Project Puppet

    I just want to clarify that it was one of my customers who did all the hard work and created the character. Blink - That's great! I didn't even know about the contest. Can't wait for the results in January! But really when it comes to puppets - everybody wins.

    Avenue Q Contest and Project Puppet

    Hi all! I just got some great news via email from one of our customers. Avenue Q is holding a what they call the One Night Stand on Avenue Q contest. Our customer used the Punto Pattern and their own creative genius to create a wonderful looking puppet (and a great character) that is now in the...
