    "I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story" documentary in development

    I just bought tickets to the showing at Montclair Kimberly Academy in New Jersey on May 3. Tickets are $14 each and Caroll and Deb will be there! I am so excited. Sorry I do not have a link handy but you should be able to find it if you google "Montclair Film Festival."

    The Making of My Rowlf Replica Puppet

    Very nice! If you go to Joann Fabrics and look in the home furnishing section, they sell multiple sizes of pre-cut felt circles with adhesive backs. They work perfect as pupils.

    My latest project

    Hey guys, I have been fairly busy with school but I had some time to build this quickly. No name yet. Let me know what you think! He still needs hands.

    My Elmo Replica

    So Elmo's extremities were bothering me because his hands were to large, his arms and legs were too long, his feet were sloppy, and I hot-glued his nose on and it looked bad. I took a few hours to redo all of those things correctly. I made his hands and feet smaller and fingers/toes more...

    Youtuber taking others puppet work and claiming as own

    The sad part is that a copyright infringement case would be dismissed when a person with developmental disabilities is involved. I have had clients who have gotten away with punching police officers and forging stolen checks simply because they have DD. All we can do is continuously report him...

    Fan Mail

    I have been corresponding with Carrol for quite a while. He is a very generous signer. He has sent me a hand drawn holiday card, about 4 or 5 separate autographed pictures of Oscar and/or Big Bird, a few doodles, and he even drew the invitation for my daughter's 2nd birthday party. He is a very...

    hand vs machine sewing

    I prefer to hand-sew everything using the Henson Stitch. It is easier to control each stitch.

    Feedback on puppet camera test.

    I agree with Buck. Very nicely done but that height problem is very common. Be sure that your arm isn't stretched outward. Try to keep it above your head within your center of gravity. Relax the arm. If you are down on the ground for the outdoor shots, try to find something with wheels that you...

    Shifty Cyril

    Very cool. I was going to make an Edgar Allan Poe puppet a while back using this same color scheme. I never got around to it but the colors look great together just as I had imagined! Great work, my friend. -Ryan

    Performing with Dr. "Patch" Adams

    Hello! Every year, the famous clown doctor, Patch Adams travels overseas with a group of clowns to bring laughter to people in third world countries and oppressed areas. I have been communicating with him for a couple of months now about combining my puppetry with my profession which is...

    Got a response from the Sesame Puppeteer Workshop...

    Scott Hitz was there. I think I saw Lara Maclean sitting in on the workshop in one of the photos as well. She is a puppet wrangler for Sesame Street.

    Kermit V3.0

    no I use white ping pong balls but without painting them on the inside, they are very dull looking. Putting white on the inside makes them look more solid and vibrantly white.

    Kermit V3.0

    The eyes are just ping pong balls with the inside spray painted white to take away from the opaque look of the plastic. As for the pattern, there is no real accurate pattern out there so you have to kinda wing it. It takes a couple of tries to get the right measurements so that the neck is long...

    Got a response from the Sesame Puppeteer Workshop...

    I received the same letter. Of all of my facebook friends in the puppetry community, only 2 of them were accepted. I think this will be something that Marty and Matt will do again in the future so keep trying. I learned a lot about my on-screen skills by doing this audition, whereas I typically...
