    Meet my newest Puppet :)

    Nice craftsmanship. If you want to hide the seams a little better, take a needle or pin and rub it along to seams to pull out the fleece pile that gets trapped in there. There's a little trick for ya!

    Crazy story I found

    I found an article about a woman who has an amazing memory capability, and halfway through it says that her father was Jim's agent! It's a big stretch to post on this board, I know, but a fascinating read nonetheless. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/lifestyle/363468_memory19.html Does anyone...

    Does anyone think it's likely that JHC will be looking for temporary puppeteers for the Fraggle movie?

    Elephant nose problem

    I've always thought that if I were to build an elephant puppet I would try using washing machine/vacuum cleaner hose for the trunk. I think you can find it at Home Depot...?

    New puppet videos

    I actually thought you were Dave Goelz for a second, but then I remembered Disney isn't creative enough to let the Muppets do anything for YouTube. Nice work!

    Seeking Muppet video footage

    You can find most of these on YouTube. I would suggest searching for them on YT and contacting the original uploader about where they got the footage.

    Is Meet the Feebles worth seeing?

    I watched clips of it on YouTube and couldn't stand it. It depends on what you enjoy watching, but it really is full of cheap dirty humor, if it can be classified as humor.

    New puppet: Todd the Emo!

    That's funny, when I was in college we called one of the guys who lived on my floor "Emo Todd". He wore really tight girl jeans...

    JR Enterprises Films Puppet Vids

    Great puppeteering – your lip sync and eye-contact are spot on! I would encourage you on two points: 1. Be louder, especially with Freddy. It sounds like he has a soft voice to begin with, so you'll have to boost your volume when performing him to compete with the other actors in your...

    Random Puppet-Building Tips

    I had a lot of trouble building hands when I first started out, but I feel like I've learned a lot after 12 years of building. When creating hands for a rod puppet, I suggest making them removable. The best way I've found for this is to get some 1/4" clear plastic tubing and sewing a strip of...
