    Bird Puppet

    Hey KFarr, I just came across this on Ebay. You could buy it, take it a part and build your own using the pattern. I think it is pretty darn close to what you need. Ebay Parrot Puppet

    My Puppet Film (Finally)!

    I am curious, "What do you make your puppets out of?" They look like Latex rubber that has been painted and had a gloss medium put over them. Are they Foam Latex? Rubber LAtex? OR a different material? Is the castle, Castle Grayskull? It looks like my old toy from as a kid. What is...

    My Chewbacca Puppet is Done!!

    Hi mzredbox, No, you are thinking of FUN FUR YARN, we are talking FUN FUR FABRIC . If you go to any fabric store they should have an example of it. Even Michaels has some small amounts for sale. But the fabric store would be your best bet. If the store that you go to does not have it...

    My Chewbacca Puppet is Done!!

    Thank you roastnebrie. Building replicas is great for practice, and once a puppet builder feels comfortable enough, building originals is the next challenge to face (which I am sure you already do, I am just making a general statement; it is not directed to you personally). Glad you liked the...

    Cool Puppets Up! Festival Video!

    Hi GabeFirestone, I don't think there too much planning with the content of the video. I think it was mostly improv and an attempt to use a puppet to bring awareness to the festival, and to see a bit on the town. That's just what I think though. That's the thing about improv, some...

    From concept to ebay The Yeti of Hollywood!

    I love him renegade! I must say I am very impressed with how nicely you are developing as a builder. Well done. I totally agree that Project Puppet is a tremendous tool. Aside from this forum I don't think they get enough credit. Just look at what you have been able to do.:)

    Puppets Up! II in Almonte, Ont. Canada

    Hey Marky! Things are so up in the air right now I can't commit to anything. I am donating some of my puppets for window displays. If I do make it to the festival this year I would love to terrorize the visitors with puppets.:crazy: Like I said I have a bunch of stuff going on and...

    Easy puppets?

    Hi NeopetsVMKKelly, Try Project Puppet. But more specifically (for a very easy puppet to build) try The Glorified Sock Puppet. Hope that helps.

    Just wanted to share my new puppet.

    Hey renegade, I know that you have been doing your puppet building homework to make sure that your puppet looks as good as possible. Well, in my humble opinion you have done a super job! You should be (as I am sure you are) very proud of it. It looks great!

    Hey BorkBork, The term "clean" is my own term/a term I use that refers to how neat and tidy the puppet looks. Messy puppets that have bunches on glue (like the ones my students did) are not very "clean". Your sock puppet entry is "clean". Sorry to confuse things by using my own...
