    Billy Big Hands

    This was a puppet I finished a few weeks ago and forgot to post the pictures. I had the idea a while ago for a character called Baby Big Hands, and that is what Billy started as. But at the time i didn't have anything to specifically make him babyish so he ended up just being a little boy...

    Bobo The Clown

    In between orders I had the idea of putting together a live hand clown puppet. And here he is. I managed to get a few pictures of him today and want to try and do a few videos with him when i get the time. For now though, here are his pics.

    Another new Old Enough To Know Better Puppets puppet

    Well this one went on ebay to someone in Surrey but that wasn't the person who bought it. I suppose it could have been bought for them, or similar. The thing was he was relatively simple compared to some of the other puppets I've done, yet like you say he could create a lot of expressions so...

    Help Making a Small-Mouthed Puppet

    One way I used in a test puppet, which kind of worked and just needed a bit of adjustment was to scale down a head pattern by half and make a complete small head with mouthplate. I then build the larger head around this, so the cheeks were built on the side, lips on the edges of the mouth so by...

    My Audrey II Adventure

    Loving him so far. I think the best thing about Audrey II is that everyone has their own take on it. There's not hard and fast rules about what it has to look like. It is one of the many things on my list to do when i have time.

    Another new Old Enough To Know Better Puppets puppet

    It's good to find things like that out. I've made two of this puppet - the one here and another one as an order - so not sure which one it was that you saw but it's always good to hear he's putting himself out there lol. Who was the director?

    The rebuild I've wanted to do for two years...

    I'm not sure how much of it is down to the studio lighting. This is how he looked with out the lights and without a flash which is slightly darker.

    Another Muppetlab Replica :-)

    It really depends on the replica. Kermit I suppose will be cheapest as he is literally just the antron fleece and a few bits of felt/eyes mouth plate. When i did Fozzie the materials all in (considering I'm in the UK so was stung on importing it) cost about £60-£70 tops. Alternatively, Elmo was...

    Another Muppetlab Replica :-)

    On my Fozzie replica I used a thick shag fur in fawn but I boiled it in strong Sunshine Orange Rit dye (I think the concentrate was double the usual amount to get it to take) and it did just enough to turn the fawn into an orange brown. Obviously the boiling made the fur course like old Fozzie...

    Another Muppetlab Replica :-)

    I'd agree. I think the piece i used was about 1.5m x 1 m and it was just enough and didn't allow for fabric overhang around his base.

    No it was just reticulated foam carved to shape and covered in regular polar fleece. I was originally going to dye the foam (similar to the bags under Crazy Harry's eyes, but the foam i was using had really large holes so the fleece cover was the better option.

    Thanks Chris. I have to say that he instantly became my favourite of any puppets I have made.

    Shifty Cyril

    Been really busy with orders recently but have managed to squeeze this guy out in those periods waiting for fleece and fur drying after dying, waiting for fabrics to arrive etc. I didn't really have any plan for him when starting other than I had a one inch thick piece of foam, some fur that...
