    Making of Elmo so far

    You did a great job! And at the end of the day, if you can get a smile like that out of someone, you've done something right!!!

    Ghost alerts?

    I can understand what you are saying, but isn't this an open forum? Vulgarity I can understand, but I don't think it's right for someone to decide what they feel contributes or not just because it may be a one word comment. All that will do is turn people away from contributing at all.....

    Puppet arm question

    The thing with Big Bird is I thought the line is sent thru a hoop under the neck and attached to the left hand, so when one goes down the other goes up. It's a great effect, but not sure how it would look in this case, may just be an arm swinging in the breeze..... :)

    My first 'real' replica!

    HaHaHa, you got this, she's going to be thrilled!

    My first 'real' replica!

    It's looking great! The only suggestion I would make is turn the body around. These dogs are big in the shoulders/neck area and thin thru the waist, so stick that chest out! HaHaHa

    Puppet Commercial

    That was awesome man, nicely done.....

    Puppet arm question

    A simple method would be the long pins you would find in a craft store in the floral department. Pin it thru the underside of the finger or thumb to the body, most come with a pearl ball on top so it would less noticable....

    The Doctor Who Thread

    David Tennant's final season was pretty much TV specials, could that be what everyone was talking about?

    My first 'real' replica!

    Bottom line, is if the customer is happy, EVERYONE should be happy....HaHaHa I love the color on the snout, great attention to the detail, you should be proud of him. I also have a Pit/Boxer mix, best family dog you could ask for, and the best babysitter when the kids are outside playing. I...

    My first 'real' replica!

    What a beautiful dog! Is it a full pitbull or a boxer mix? I think the detail you've put into this is great! The only suggestion I have is to remember the head size of this breed is huge (Not really something you would be able to really see in just one pic)! From the back to the front is almost...

    Kermit Pattern ... somethings not right...

    Misunderstood, thought you were referring to it being smaller than the puppet...

    Kermit Pattern ... somethings not right...

    It wasn't by mistake he was made smaller, the posers are much smaller than the puppet counterparts. Another reason the head may look weird is because it is stuffed rather that hollow inside as the puppet should be, the only thing that filled it was Jim's hand....

    Help with Elmo

    You would have to order online for furs, Joanns is a bust for that sort of thing. Mendels, Fabric Empire, Distinctive Fabric are all good sources for furs...

    Help with Elmo

    HaHa. wow, blast from the past! I actually made this one when I first started building, many years ago, since then it has had 2 homes. The head was a modified version of the melonhead pattern, the body and arms were something I made myself. It has since changed at least 5 times...

    Puppeteer Andrew Agree died

    Anyone know if it was unexpected, or had he been sick?

    Video: New Elmo premieres at the 2013 Easter Egg Roll

    According to Kevin, there were nine of them in use. But I think it would be safe to say Ryan was made his own for the show. Not sure about the one being used for appearances though....

    Puppet Help...

    To be honest, I didn't see anything wrong with your original design. But I'm thinking the same as BuckyBits, I think you have to cut the bottom jaw down a bit more and make it more like Beaker, almost an upsidedown U shape. The only issue with that may be that on a Beaker head, your hand goes...

    How was Animal's unibrow created to move?

    Animal is done with a pretty simple lever trick, if you look thru some of the older forums there are a few tutorials around. The one thing to point out is Animals eyes are round, not the flat spoon shape, more like Oscar...
