    kermit the frog

    Same thing here. Doesn't work for me either. It would seem that either you have been phased out, or there is a problem with the physical link given.

    arm rods -- a distraction?

    Steve, For what it's worth, I say it is no big deal. People are watching and know that it is a puppet. Puppets can have rods, and at times thay are seen. I think the impact of the puppet comes from the life given through the puppeteering/performance. True "believability" has more to...

    Build-A-Elmo

    I wasn't going to get involved in this discussion/debate since I believe everyone is entitled to their opinion. In life I accept that some people like me and some people dislike me, the same with puppets. I am a new father (I am also a teacher). My son is 3 1/2 months and he started to look...

    1/2 Dome Eyes suppliers?

    Just a note. Capital findings has no plastic eyes at all. They are a leather craft store. You can find contact cement, leather and gasket rubber there, but no plastic eyes. There is a place that I have ordered from in London, Ontario. It is called Chatsco Distribution. Nice people and...

    Puppet Show and Tell

    They are not off, in fact I like variety in eye design. They have a different effect than say Elmo. Which is nice. I agree with your wife. I think they look better than beaded eyes might.

    script writing program

    I just looked it up. Both are around the $225.00 range, but it would seem that Final Draft has a bit more in terms of additional "support items". There is a DVD and other add ons for Final Draft. Not sure if theye are needed, but that is what I gathered. Final drafts seems to be about...

    Puppet Show and Tell

    Hey Wes, I like him a lot. I even commented to myself about it looking good and then I saw it was your new avatar. I am sure that some people will mention the eye placement, but I think his eyes give him a wonderful quirkiness. His eyes reminds my of one of my earlier puppets named...

    Muppet Replicas

    Hey pepestarr, hey bezalel, Last night I was doing some web surfing looking at what could be done with projectpuppet.com patterns to make what kind of Muppet. Here is what I came up with: Muppet Character (Projectpuppet.com Pattern) The Count (Rotondo Pattern)...

    puppet accesories

    Fun fur works well. There are many types. Colours, lengths, even sheen can be almost limitless (if you know where to look). Do a walk about in you area's local fabric district, or check out a few fabric stores in your area. Hope that helps.

    Feedback?

    Nice Avatar! My suggestion was just a personal preference thought about websites. When I see pictures of puppets, I like to see the pictures a little closer. I think your website and your puppets are great!

    Avenue Q Contest Final Round

    Hi all, I thought I would start a new thread rather than add on to the old one. Just when you though the Avenue Q contest was over...it isn't...well not completely. The "One Night Stand" Avenue Q contest that was held and voted on had three final winners. Just to clarify for some...

    Your comment is very appreciated doctor13. Thanks. Great response Frogster! The truth is that I approach building as a constant state of learning. I appreciate feedback. I enjoy building and I am proud of my work. But ultimately it is done for the artistry and the love I have of...

    Disney Fan Puppet

    Hi Phantom, Thank you. Now to comment on the puppets from the stage show. It was actually the pictures from that show that I saw after I built my puppet that made me go "what is with the colour scheme on the crab?" At the time I hadn't (and to this day haven't) seen the film...

    Feedback?

    Nice! I am partial to the little "Rasta Monster". A minor note: I would like to be able to see your puppets up closer. Is there a way for you to have the pictures "clickable" so we can see better detail? I think you have a nice building style. It is something that many builders have a...

    Hey Iokitek, I like the feedback (no worries I asked you for comments). What I notice and what others notice can often be different. Yes the tongue was not measured or check for symmatry. It was just cut quickly. The mouthplate may seem to stick out, but it actually doesn't (optical...

    Cat puppets for a Movie please help!!!

    Exactly puppetise. That is the green screen Bunraku style puppetry I was talking about. If you are trying to do things on a low budget, this can actually be done rather inexpensively. If you search the net (I like google), you will be able to find lots of information on low budget...
