    New Custom Puppet Pictures

    Thanks for all the comments, guys! There are more characters in the works. I'll post pictures of them as well when they are finished. Gfarkwort, yes, the trolls eyebrows move. More like an eye widening movement and they work independently of each other. I think the raising of just one of the...

    Ernie's 2nd cousin on his father side

    Hey, I think Benny has a family resemblence as well! Renegade, if you don't mind me asking, what material have you found best for making flexible mouthplates? Great work, by the way.

    Covering fleece on advanced patterns

    You should be able to get away with a lot less seams than the foam pattern if you use the draping method as suggested. Less seams, less sewing, less time. ;)

    Puppet Patterns - Please Help!!

    I may be too late on this one, but yes, just as gfarkwort and renegade said, the printed version of the instructions is available for Mac users or those that do not have access to a PC. Lately, we've been getting more requests for Mac compatiable CDs. It is something we've been working on for a...

    New Custom Puppet Pictures

    Hi all! It's been awhile since my last post. Things have been very busy in the workshop lately. I plan on posting pictures of these characters (plus some behind-the-scenes pics) on the Project Puppet Blog, but here's a preview (just for MC members) of some of the characters Project Puppet has...

    Experimental Puppet Hand

    Put me on a milk carton because i'm lost?

    The "highs and lows" viewpoint is a very technical/mathematical way to look at it in my opinion. If you just think about the flat foam having to make the curves of the head, you'll know where to put the seams. Use the Force, renegade. :) The truth of the matter is the more seams you draw in...

    Right now, it looks like a really stupid move on their part.

    Putting your video on YouTube? Pls. read this

    Good points, Buck. The language is broad and nothing has happened yet to prove YouTube's intentions. The change might even be sparked by some private acquisition negotiations that we don't even know about. I'm just in shock that YouTube would take such a risk with their popularity! Better to...

    Putting your video on YouTube? Pls. read this

    I'm not reading this to say they own the rights to whatever is posted on YouTube. I think YouTube is requiring permission to host the submissions for others to view as well as to use submissions "in connection with the YouTube Website and YouTube's (and its successor's) business" which I believe...

    Can someone please email me a couple patterns?

    Don't stress out too much about it, JJandJanice. I think some people do or say things (especially online) for attention - whether the attention is positive or negative. Don't let it ruin your day. :)

    Puppet Making Video

    Got the video today! Very excellent! Kudos to Dave and Play Soup. The method outlined in the video is a traditional patterning method (in fact, it's the method we use at Project Puppet) with some twists on technique that reflect Dave's personal style. If you want to start patterning your own...
