I e-mailed him at the beginning of this week for an estimated ETA. No response so far.... :halo:

It's the hand sewing that helps hide the stitch, but I'm not very good at it either. Luckily things always look better in pictures. LOL

Kermit took the whole week, but I spent like 8 to ten hours a day for four or five days! I'm working on carving a Gonzo from a block of reticulated foam & converting an Animal MR poser to a puppet. :halo:

Last week was spring break. Some people go on vacation, I spent it making a Kermit the Frog replica using the MR poser as a reference and the Project Puppet sock pattern. I am very proud of it. I hope you like it :)

The butterfly is made from polar fleece. She looks fine, but the seams are very visible running down her face. It's all a matter of what you're looking for. I wanted to make her kinda quick so I used polar fleece and machine sewed it.

Yeah, I wondered why they couldn't have one something like Palisades. Sculpt it with texture and cast it out of a light weight material. Nice work.

I added a few more pics of three other puppets I made. I hope you like them. :zany:

This is where I ordered my block of foam from last summer. It was about $35 if I remember correctly. They sell remnants from custom orders cheaper than buying an uncut block. https://www.foamcenter.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=RAIN

The first puppet I made was the purple artist. Project puppet makes it pretty easy. Elmo & Cookie are made from the Mostro & Borsa patterns. I bought the MR replicas as references & I am attempting to make Kermit, Gonzo, & Animal. For Kermit, I'm going to try the glorified sock puppet as a...

Hi ho! I've been a member for a while here an post from time to time. I teach elementary art and about two years ago I decided to start using puppets in my classroom to help with boring things like classroom management, how to use materials, and how to clean up. I made three original puppets...

Do you have pictures of the finished puppet?

It would be neat if it came with some facial features to swap out, but nothing. Seems like if they want to sell these at Toys R US they need to provide features and clothes. Some parent comes in and looks at it and thinks, "Okay, why doesn't it have a face?" I'd buy one because I can make my...

I was in Toys R US today an in their FAO section at the front of the store, they had a green Muppet Whatnot. No features or clothes. It said "green body" on the SKU tag. I saw not facial pieces or clothes to purchase anywhere though.

I wonder if the same thing could be done to an Animal poser? I'm kind of afraid to dissect Gonzo. Were you afraid to ruin him?

How'd you get the wires out of his arms?

Did you take the wire out of his mouth? How easy is it to open & close it?

Nothing to post about. :shifty:

The channel that shows Wendy in my area aired last Wednesday's show with Patti Labelle. :grouchy:

I dunno why, but when I was a kid I always saw Gonzo as a kind of weird bird. He's got feathers on his head and a beak sort of nose and he likes chickens. Ah, the mind of a child.
