    Anyone get Puppet Planet yet?

    Just got a copy today. From flipping through it, it seems much more advanced than Puppet Mania. Puppet Mania has great ideas and projects that I think would work well for parents or teachers making puppets with children. Puppet Planet seems to be for an older age group or even just for adults...

    This flesh color using rit dye?

    Hey renegade, I usually use the tan RIT dye as the base for any flesh color, adding very little (if any) pinks or oranges or browns depending on the desired result. Dyeing seems like it could be an exact science, but in reality it never is. You can keep track of the amount of water and dye, the...

    Yarn Question...

    I've been searching and searching for a particular item that I thought wouldn't be too difficult to find, but I have come up empty handed. I've been trying to find really thick brown yarn. When I say thick, I mean like Scooter's hair or thicker. I've checked all my usual local places and...

    The Glorified Sock Puppet Pattern

    Great to hear, rickmc. I think there are a few clinics in the U.S. for sock puppet addiction, not as uncommon as one may think. :) Hope to see one of your characters in the contest!

    The Glorified Sock Puppet Pattern

    Looks great BorkBork! Glad you like the pattern. I think you may have asked a question in another thread about using foam instead of polyfill to "round out" the head. That should be perfectly acceptable. I just got the same question from someone else via email. The contest rules state...

    SPEC Work, good idea?bad idea?,

    Great information, ravagefrackle. (By the way, been enjoying your interview on Puppet 101!)

    The Glorified Sock Puppet Pattern

    Hey BorkBork, I'm not sure if I understand the question completely. The stitching should be on the same side as the other stitching of the head. The stitching of the head and the mouthplate should be visible when the head is turned inside out. Does that answer it?
