    How to affix Full Ping Pong Ball eyes

    Hi Coz, A is the way to go, but I have to honestly say I think you're putting too much thought into this. Use a 30-35mm doll joint, pop it thru the head and use either a nail or a screwdriver pick to start the hole in the ball, and then use a small pair of scissors to enlarge it and widen it...

    Help with muppet collection

    I think a better question is what would YOU want to collect? With so much out there, what I look for may not be what you want to collect. Think of things that mean something to you and start with them first.....and have fun with it!!!

    Which Project Puppet pattern, melon head or rotundo for Animal?

    I bet you could get away with the melonhead, I did a puppet using that pattern with blinking eyes before. Just increase the pattern another 10% and use 1" foam so it won't "squish" when you use the eye mech....

    Sigmund the Sea Monster

    The fire happened after they were already in production, the changes were already made. Sheldon and his nephew were added for goofyness I guess, and I think with the housekeeper/nanny, they wanted more of a challenge to keep the secret. Zelda just wasn't paying that much attention to what was...

    New Sesame Street cast member with nose ring

    Then one of two things can occur, Sesame Street will teach the adults as well as the children about tolerance, or the adults can change the channel. If this is the biggest issue for parents to be concerned with then there is a problem....but that's just my 2 cents.

    New Sesame Street cast member with nose ring

    Whether she may be from India, or anywhere else, as a parent of two I see nothing wrong with it. Why should it have to be explained? I'm tattooed and pierced and have raised my kids not to be judgemental of a person before you know them...

    Help deciding on a pattern

    Honestly, I'm thinking you may be better off with the sock puppet pattern and use the alternate body pattern for the body. Regardless of which one you choose, you'll have to alter the head to get that head shape. But you have enough reference material for sure, so it shouldn't give you much...
