Oh ashkent I wouldn't worry at all about folks who find any of it childish. I'm sure great people like Walt Disney or Jim Henson were thought of as childish by some but thank God they were! The world could use a few more adults who haven't lost touch with the magic of their childhood...

Wow. A truly amazing accomplishment! As others have mentioned you set the bar pretty high for yourself for your very first puppet. But as high as that bar was you just went right over it! Great job! I still haven't taken any photos of my first puppet build. Not something I'd be proud to share...

Well here's a link that has a few links to check out http://www.nicodemus.org/fursuit/studlinks.php Also the Nicodemus site is full of tips and help for making your own suit/costume.

There's always welding rod which you can find at most lumber stores. Home Depot, Lowes, Menards and places like that.

Well Doc I like your work but I'm afraid I'm not likely to be much help as I'm kind of going through the same process right now. I've been building for a while and am getting ready to try and enter the world of online puppet sales. As a longtime businessman I know that the "correct" price is...

Nice job! With their voracious appetites it seems he and Cookie Monster would get on well.

hakksonmary Great seller! Bought a DVD of the 2009 Puppetfest in Atlanta that she advertised here at the forum. She was quick, courteous and a joy to deal with!

Okay now that I know who made it let me say again your price is fine. Michele's puppets are AMAZING! She is a very talented and experienced builder.

Well there's The MuppetCast. Plenty of great material there for you! http://muppetcast.com/WordPress/

Welcome to Muppet Central Forum and the exciting world of puppet building! Looks like you're off to a great start! My first efforts didn't look quite as nice. Are you using the Project Puppet Glorified Sock Puppet pattern? Their patterns are a GREAT resource! Best of luck and have fun! :D

Another awesome build! I love the cigarette prop! Very funny.

I have all the Project Puppet patterns except for the Monstro. I would agree that the Punto pattern would probably work best for your design. Of course you'd have to modify it somewhat for the live hand version, but I think it could work well. Best of luck!

Now THAT is a video I'd like to see! :-)

Very cute puppet but seeing the final bid I have to say I think you need to set a reserve price higher than that. It sure looks like you invested some time in making the little guy and I doubt very much that the final price compensated you very well for your time and materials. It seems to me...

Excellent work as always! And kudos on the excellent photography work as well. As I've begun to venture into taking photos of my work I've gained a new appreciation for that art.

I agree he's a very cute little guy. Sorry you have to sell him and I hope you can get your price. I also agree that everyone is entitled to their own opinion of the value. And I'd like to offer up a couple of my own observations. As I prepare to enter the world of online puppet sales I've...

Thanks! It's good to know I have an eye for eyes! I do start thinking about how I'm going to do the eyes pretty early in the design process. They're such a critical part of giving each character the right feel.

What he said. :D

Hey Ranger you can check out my gallery of images over at Puppets and Stuff. All but one (Beverly, the maroon live hand puppet that has the blinking eyes) of the puppets shown were built with something other than Antron fleece. I did use Antron fleece to make the maroon puppet. I used polar...

Nice video! A cool method of building a posable hand. I would never have thought of the foam insulation strips! Clever devil.
