There are several tutorials available on the Build page of my site including a step by step illustrated tutorial for making foam & wire hands. There are some free foam & fabric head patterns on there as well. ;) http://www.puppet-planet.com/buildyourown.html Enjoy! -Michele

http://www.nbc4.tv/video/9152183/detail.html Not only do we have to be concerned about getting screwed at the pump with gas prices, but take a look at several chains of JIFFY LUBE caught on tape stickin it to their customers as well! :mad: -Michele

I just listed some more pre-dyed and cut pieces of antron fleece and a HUGE LOT of professional eyes in a unique asssortment that will knock your socks off! :concern: I've got a bunch of other stuff listed too, so be sure to read the titles to find the puppet related items. I'll post again if...

*cracking up laughing* I managed to retain a sense of professionalism reading this thread.... all the way up to that last comment about "Bert heads". :D

Well lucky me, there is a local supplier that has reticulated and many other kinds of foam! :excited: I took a trip down to their warehouse today and got to check out all the varieties available. I didn't try every single type of foam they had, just the types that looked durable and compareable...

I have used various types of foams for my work. The reticulated foam that I have acquired in the past is really rough and has extremely large pores in it, having similar qualities to a brillo pad, which I find extremely uncomfortable so I hate to use it. I've talked to several manufacturers who...

Sorry, duplicate thread.... guess I pressed the button to many times. =) Please feel free to delete.

Glad you have $500 to spend on a puppet, go bid.... you haven't yet! :excited:

Very nice grouch, and cute as a baby..... but unfortuantely, still copyright infringment. The "grouch" character was created and designed by henson and therefore owned by them/Disney now.... right? Anyway, I think he probably would be in the clear if he didn't call it a "grouch" per se, but it...

*laughing* Considering the fact that I wasn't referring to your work I don't see how you could have taken offense to anything I said. Infact, even though the statement I made was not about YOU at all, it was still a compliment, hence the statement "which obviously doesn't appear to be the case...

Sure, I'm quite aware that some people don't mind riding the skirts of someone elses popularity and success instead of making their own. Thats usually left to those who don't have talent or imagination ..... which obviously doesn't appear to be the case here. -Michele

Well, thats a matter of opinion and mostly depends on the character your trying to copy. Kermit, for example is fairly simple due to the free access of his reverse engineered head pattern right here on MC. Also, this eBay auction kit includes a complete pattern for Kermit himself (and a variety...

I would be curious to hear about your findings. I hope you'll share. :D I also use "Pro Puppet" in my titles when selling on eBay as well. -Michele

Yeah, but for those selling on eBay, it's helpful to use "professional puppet" in your title because the audience your targeting (and hoping to entice) will use those terms when doing a search. ;) Oh..... did I muffin the thread? :halo:

I think the topic is staring to go off the deep end here. Posting your oppinion about copyright issues and replicas on ebay is one thing, but it's a sad sad day when the puppet community starts attacking eachother for their own beliefs and oppions..... especially when you start attacking...

I have listed some new puppet building supplies that include: patterns with pre-cut & pre-sewn fabric pieces, and includes the rights to resell the character, pattern, etc. some great wigs for your puppets Huge lot of 70+ mouthplates in assorted shapes and sizes - most already completed...

Just listed a huge lot of 60 pre-made round pvc rings in various sizes for the base of your foam puppet bodies or neck sleeves. Great for added support and structure. Check them out here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6052476957&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1

I'm In! Even though I already have all of the patterns you have available.... but It'll be great to join the fun. Awesome idea guys! -Michele

I just went ahead and listed it on ebay. I havn't had the time to venture off into the mascot costume end of this art, so I don't have a clue as to how much these things usually go for. I started the bid at $4.99 with $2.50 shipping in the US. Check it out here...
