    How tall is the average muppet?

    Mine tend to run about 22 - 24 inches (including hair on most). I make them that size because they can wear most items from the children's department in size 3/4 and I don't have to custom make clothing as often. Okay, yeah.... I'm either very smart or just plain lazy. :o -Michele PS...

    Anyone interested in a fan mechanism for the inside of mascots/costumes? It works on 2 9v batteries and I have no idea what to price it at, so just make me a fair offer and it's yours. I have a photo if you would like to see it. -Michele

    Foam Heads, Muppet Fleece & Supplies 4 Sale

    Just listed a piece of medium blue that I must have left out the first time. =) I noticed that it all went quick. You were buying it up on one end while someone else was taking it from the bottem faster than you could get there. Maybe I should have raised my prices. hee hee :D

    Inside the Blinking Eye

    Yeah, it's a temporary problem. I hired someone to update my site, tranfered hosts, and currently the whole site is down because my new hosts were supposed to take over my domain name too.... but they dropped the ball there too. Needless to say, I'm not too impressed with my new web hosting...

    Armslength Productions?

    Thank you for your interest and compliments on the information provided on my site. The hosting company for my original site has changed, as well as the site's content/design. As you can see by my empty gallery, the site is still under construction and a building reference page is on the list of...

    Has anyone bought anything from Monsterpuppets?

    I have yet to purchase one but have always admired Pierre's puppets, not to mention he is a super awesome guy. I will probably end up with one before too long, maybe Santa will get me one.... I've been a VERY good girl this year. *grin*

    My blinking puppet

    Wow, I was expecting some sort of string mechanism, very cool. Does your finger come throiugh the opening and pull that lever? It looks like it sort of sticks out from between the eyes, how did you conceal it in such a way that a "ridge or hump" didn't show when you put fabric on him?

    Moving Eyebrow?

    No, I think those are just some really big and messy stitches. By-the way, I do have a reference page, my site is in the middle of being redesigned so the link isn't there anymore. But here it is for you guys: http://www.puppet-planet.com/Build_Your_Own.htm Oh, and it hasn't been updated...

    Sewing Machine of Choice

    Do what Buck suggested, find a local repair shop that sells refurbished machines. Thats exactly how I got mine and it cost me less than $150. Even if they don't have a particular machine available, ask them for models that would work well for what you need and then search on ebay. I've seen my...

    Sewing Machine of Choice

    Mine is a 1954 (or maybe 1956) Necchi which is an iron beast that was made in Italy. I love this machine, in fact, if it wasn't so darn heavy I would carry it down the isle and marry it. :flirt: :p Seriously, it's a great machine. I have a singer (1999?) which I use as a back up when I have...
