    Wow! That is great work! I love the characters. I see them and I know them instantly. That takes real skill.

    "Pricy Foam" The truth is Scott Foam or reticulated foam IS pricy, compared with other types of foam which are more readily available. There are many reasons why reticulated foam is preferred by professionals. If reticulated foam is out of your budget, regular upholstery foam will work. But...

    Muppet Wizard of Oz to film in September

    I'd have to agree with "The Good Doctor". I'm not a Muppet historian, but it seems to me, since the death of Jim and other key muppet people the Muppet characters are lost. Nobody cares for a character like the originator of the character. Now, some of the Muppet characters seem to be hollow...

    Gonzo puppet

    Yeah... The neck is too wide...one of my design flaws. I do think that clothes will draw attention away from it in the prototype. The next gonzo's body will be built like the real gonzo.

    Gonzo puppet

    I built one... Well, he's almost finished. I have to finish his arms, and then dress him. Actually, he's my first gonzo, so usually the first puppet I make of any character serves as my prototype. I'll make corrections in my design and build a second puppet as a final. Anyway, that being the...
