Okay, which pattern is the better one to start with? Borsa or Punto? Or a combo of Both? I think form what I have seen that Fozzie has arms that come down and then have live hand in the ends so maybe i should figure that part out for myself. But what about the head? Someone here said Punto...

I am assembling the materials now to make a Fozzie. On this board it is highly encouraged to make your own if that is what you desire. there are so many amazing people with so much support to help you through every step. I have learned that many people have used the Punto Pattern from Project...

She has cleavage though I guess that could be done with clever gluing but her legs and arms are pretty shapely as well.

I still need to get down to the garment district to get fur for him and I need to go to Kinko's copy shop to blow up my reference pics. I got a job for the last 3 weeks and I start a new job on Monday so things are pretty busy but in a good way.

The joy on a little boys face in a wheelchair at the premiere of the muppet movie tonight in Hollywood was the culmination of this build. This little boy in a wheelchair just looked up and yelled,"Hi Elmo!!!" and gave him a big hug and a high five. The look of love his mom gave us was...

I just got back from opening night at the El Capitan in Hollywood. I took my wife, Daughter and My Elmo replica in full 18 month tuxedo. They have a live stage show part at the beginning with Miss piggy and Kermit. Needless to say my daughter was beside herself to see the REAL Kermit and...

You should definitely take him to the premiere. It was such a blast here at the El capitan and everyone wanted pictures with Elmo. One of my buddies had a really nice Animal puppet. Your Kermit would be such an attraction.

My wife, baby and I are going to the El Capitan with Elmo for the opening night of Muppets Most Wanted. A bunch of my friends from Disney Feature are going and They said a bunch of people are bringing their puppets. I know that People from Puppet school are going to the movie with their...

I love the video. Your so right. She comes alive so much when you puppeteer her. Dont get me wrong.....she looks amazing just sitting there but so much more life with you helping out. So cool.

Well, I went ahead and got my fur for Fozzie. I think it will be a really good match and since No one said " Wait, Stop!!! Your making a Horrible mistake!!!" I felt confident that this will work just fine. I will start a thread as i get some progress on him. Oh and thanks to Muppetlab and...

Okay, so I just uploaded this then I held the swatch up to the screen and they look like completely different colors. the swatch in my hand definitely is darker and rich in color but it photographed much lighter. I held my swatch up to the pantone color square on line and it looked pretty...

Okay so this is the Mongolian faux fur in Butterscotch I found. I got a swatch to show you all and get your opinions. What do you think? I know your going off the same thing I did which is a pic but the pile is good and long and I think it will look brilliant when it is boiled and trimmed in...

"Elmo thinks Elmo looks like Tony Stark!"

Here he is in his Tux ready for the premiere and his adoring fans.

You can see that I barely stuck down his pupils because I was till working on eye focus. I used the sticky felt circles that someone here suggested. I found a pack of them in various sizes at Home depot

Here is his profile. I want to go back and matt up his face fur a bit more like the real one.

Here is a pic of my finished puppet for those who haven't seen him. I have a tux for him to wear when we go to the El Capitan for the New Muppet movie.

Thanks Muppetlover. It is real close. I looked thru hundreds of sweater vests to try and find something close. The only difference on this one is the movie one has a white AND red stripe on it. This one only has the red. Close enough for me.

Thank you. The challenging part seems to be getting a good sculpt on the head and finding the right fur.

Oh, My , God.....It finally worked. A picture you all can see. Well Hopefully I can continue to keep you all up to date on this thread. The eyes are 50 mm Smooth foam and I couldnt be happier. They are solid, smooth and really light. You can even sand them. the foam is Upholstery foam so...
