Outstanding. She is perfect.

http://www.projectpuppet.com/servlet/-strse-19/Simple-Series-Alternate-Body/Detail The "Alternate Body Pattern" is great for most basic puppet heads and can be sized/adjusted to accommodate your need. At $15 it is a great investment to give you an idea of the basics that you can use develop you...

You're Kermit's mouth looks great! And thanks Kumakami :) I have to add some pics of the completed project to that folder.

I go with a simple whip stitch on the "wrong" side (puppet turned inside out). The trick (for me) is to maintain even tension/spacing between stitches and to the edge of the fabric. Also I do not try to go all the way around in one shot. For a smaller mouth I do it in halves. Top to bottom on...

Ah, I see. Brilliant. Thanks for your insight!

I noticed in many Henson workshop photos the prescence of heat or hot-air guns at the builder's workstations. Does anyone know what these might have been used for? My first thought was they could be used when working with Wonderflex, but I am not sure how long that material has been around. Thought?

I just got my swatches from Mendel's and so far I am digging the "Olive" punky muppet which, if one boiled, would look decidedly "grouch-ish" ;)

Btw, Benny looks great! Very expressive!

Thanks guys! This is something I've wanted to do for a long time and the Project Puppet patterns made it so easy to get started :) So far the "Ayes" have it...

That makes sense, but the lyric is "staccato". However, it IS Dr. Teeth and part of his shtick is taking grammatical liberties. Lol.

"Pictures in My Head" from The Muppets. "This Staccato tune is most 'posolutely and transparently bringin' me down!" ~:D

This is Fred Felton. Fred is a head. He was made using the Project Puppet "Rotondo" pattern and is my very 1st attempt (other than a few "sock" puppets). His head is constructed of reticulated foam, which I regret wasting on a prototype. I was smart enough not to use my stockpile of Antron...

Thanks! Just plain old polar fleece. I have 6yrds of Antron I'm too scared to use until I practice some more ( this is only my 2nd attempt at a foam based puppet).

Hello. First time caller, long time listener <read "Lurker">. This is a completed head for a frog character. I am still figuring out what I want to do with the body. I started with www.projectpuppet.com 's "Rotondo" pattern. I did not originally have a frog in mind, but when I was making the...

Nice work. For Muppet style puppets, I prefer a solid black pupil. But this definitely makes me think "Fraggle".

I am definitely going with Punky Muppet for an upcoming project, but I can not find a clear method of boiling it. How long? Water to fabric ratio? Stir? Carrots, celery or onions?

Looks great! Love the Ostrich.

Got my "MOSTRO" pattern and am presently drooling over faux fur options :)
