Jim Henson gave me the motivation to be myself. At the age of ten, after I saw Muppets Tonight and read his biography, I knew that puppetry was the combination of all my interests that I had been searching for -- no matter if they were "for little kids". His character has helped me beyond...

Herbert Humphrey hacked a hank of hoary hair; a hank of hoary hair Herbert Humphrey hacked. If Herbert Humphrey hacked a hank of hoary hair, how much hoary hair did Herbert Humphrey hack? Sorry, that was H-orrible. :o I should put this on the SS boards. Unfortunately I don't have a clue...

Is it too aweful for me to say this thread sounds a little "h0rny"? :o Sorry, bad I know. Um, I'd check craft stores. You could maybe find some ornamental thing made out of resin for this, or get a styrofoam cone and carve a spiral into it. Otherwise you can get some block foam at an...

I'm sorry to hear about this, but I'm glad your dad is getting better. Don't worry, God's got a reason for letting this happen (check out Matthew 10:29). I'll definitely be praying for you guys!

I think the foam thickness actually depends on preference. You can get more detailed shapes out of 1/2" foam (which is why I vote for that), but the other stuff is thicker and will hold shape a bit better.

Hi!

I've been building for nearly 9 years now and I've built some puppets for churches before. I have two weeks until I go back to college and I'm fairly free to build until then. My website is scarylarrywolf.tripod.com if you're interested in some samples. I hope you can find what you're...

I just noticed the picture in the background looks like the early version of Tumbles and (I'm guessing) Hank and Omle. Awesome! I love finding details like that in the background.

You left out Jabba the Hutt. I think (if we could bring in a SS character) Cookie Monster would be best. Otherwise Bobo or the Glutton from the Ed Sullivan Show.

I think most of us would agree with everything you've complained about. Personally, I think Matt Vogel will make an excellent fill in for Carroll, but I wish they would knock off the "Journey to Ernie" garbage. It's barely educational and the format is too stiff. Elmo needs to be shot...

Yeah, that's a GREAT thing to do for your kid. "What great things has your dad done?" "Well, he got arrested for scaling Buckingham Palace dressed as Batman..." :rolleyes:

Nice Work! Those little cockroaches are awesome. They remind me of some grasshoppers I built in junior high, scaled to Barbie so they could wear Mattel-brand clothing (it's the hottest fashion on the puppet scene you know). Very clever skit; great puppeteering and editing jobs!

Be sure when experimenting with dyes to ere on the side of too little. :eek: USE EXTREME CAUTION :eek:

OK, sorry. Too much contact-cement sniffing for me... *crawling under a rock now*

Have I just never noticed that Jim had a picture on imdb, or is this new? I thought I remembered that Frank was the only muppeteer who had his photo up there. Is Jim new? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001345/ Another way of phrasing this question might read something like this: "Have you...

I agree with everything stated here, except for this. KEEP IT UP EVEN THROUGH NOVEMBER 2nd. Let's keep loving our neighbors as ourselves. Yes it's a shame that it takes a tragedy to make people come together, but might it not even be worse if we fall back into our rut? What have we actually...

I have a question about using songs in video production. I think this may have been covered in another thread, but it would be good to include it in this one anyway. Does anyone know generally how outrageous a fee one would be charged in order to use a song from, for example, the Trans...

First of all, that is precisely the reason I didn't like the idea of Dixie Chicks performing the song because they are so hateful of the Commander in Chief. Yes it's a number for everyone, so WHY ARE YOU EXCLUDING REPUBLICANS? That is sheer hypocricy. Secondly, your comments are really...
