    The Glorified Sock Puppet Pattern

    Hi guys. So it's settled then, Project Puppet will be holding "The Glorified Sock Puppet Contest" in the very near future! Dagger Claws, I would say a character sketch/drawing would not be necessary for entry into the contest. Some are better than others in the drawing department, so I think...

    Thanks renegade. Love your design style!

    The Glorified Sock Puppet Pattern

    That's cool, mrhogg. The mouthplate was meant to be experimented with. The posterboard or stiffened felt pieces in the instructions were meant to be a starting point. I meant the basic shape of the head and body should not be altered for the contest. And as far as being generous, hey if you...

    The Glorified Sock Puppet Pattern

    Hey Kuriboh Man, sounds like a great base for show. Alright guys, after some thought, how about this: The Glorified Sock Puppet Contest Submissions can start soon and probably last for 2 weeks. The puppet has to be made from the Glorified Sock Puppet pattern from Project Puppet. The...

    The Glorified Sock Puppet Pattern

    Great guys! How about the Forma Trio as the grand prize? Or maybe a gift certificate if the winner already has the Trio? I think we should steer away from the "frogs and fraggles" :) and make original characters. Too much emotion and sentiment is already attached to Muppet characters that it...

    The Glorified Sock Puppet Pattern

    That's a great idea, Melonpool. I'm in. We would just have to set a date - probably on the weekend. Or maybe we could hold a contest. Would anybody be interested in a contest? A glorified sock puppet contest...all using the same pattern...original characters...public vote for winners. Just an...

    Some of my puppets

    Though the picture is dark, my favorite is Amer, but I'm partial to cone heads. :) I really like the tiny pupils and the positioning of the eyes.

    Sounds good, mrhogg.

    The Glorified Sock Puppet Pattern

    Looks good, mrhogg! Don't tell me that some of the other puppets in your photo album were made from Project Puppet patterns and you didn't send them in to the Project Puppet gallery!!!! :) Just a subtle nudge. Seriously, I'd love to put them in the gallery, but ultimately it's up to you...

    live hand puppets

    That is a good idea, Buck! I figured I'd tackle that one with the Monster Series. It's just trying to find the time. Building a puppet is one thing. Creating instructions for someone else to build a puppet is in my opinion 10 times more difficult. At any rate, puppetise, here is something you...

    The Glorified Sock Puppet Pattern

    Hope you enjoy it Melonpool! You too puppetise. They go together quickly, don't they video567. I think this pattern would be great for kids (appropriately aged) to put together. It teaches the basics and it can be made in a relatively short period of time, leaving more time to play with the...

    The Glorified Sock Puppet Pattern

    Thanks BuckyBits! When you finish, send us pictures for the gallery! The other patterns, the Rotondo, Punto, and Ovale are more detailed in my opinion. Of course more is involved in the construction of the other patterns. The layout and structure of the instructions is the same. Maybe some...

    The Glorified Sock Puppet Pattern

    There is only a small piece of foam involved in the construction of the mouthplate. It's not what I would call a foam-based puppet. The fleece slides right over your arm and hand not a foam understructure. Hopefully that makes sense.

    Blink's new film.

    Cool stuff, Blink!
