    Slackbot's text sketchbook

    Safe Word by Kim McFarland ***** It was a warm and pleasant day in Fraggle Rock. It might have been dark and stormy above the earth's surface, but unless they had to go up there to fetch some produce from the Gorgs' garden the Fraggles didn't care. Gobo, Mokey, Wembley, Boober, and Red...

    Puppet Patterning

    I know it's a pain to waste foam, but if you're going to learn to do more than follow other people's patterns you have to be willing to take risks, make mistakes, and learn from them. I bought a lot of cheap foam to learn on, and I still do plenty of that. Every puppet I've made required...

    What can I say, I'm good at tattling.

    Puppet Patterning

    Trial and error. Plus, I keep patterns for every thing I make, even the failed skulls seen in the first post, because they might be suitable for something else. When you have a library of patterns it becomes a lot easier, and you can often tweak one pattern for other uses.

    Look What I Just Found!

    Actually, according to the DVD extras and pack-ins, the Fraggle Five's personalities had been determined well before the Fraggles reached their final designs. Back when Frith was drawing them like hairy Sneetches they already had their names and core traits. And while Frith designed the...

    Sam the Eagle Puppet on eBay

    I'm sure this is a custom. Seems the body fabric has faded while the head has remained bright.

    I'm picturing a "Jane! Stop this crazy thing!" kind of scenario.

    Slackbot's text sketchbook

    Dear Nephew Gobo, As I have reported before, there are Doozers living in the Silly Creature world. You may remember that the last ones I encountered here seemed normal but for their size--they ignored me, a hungry Fraggle, as Doozers typically do--but their cuisine was positively terrible...

    Make Yourselves at Home, Guys. Not that they needed any invitation to get cozy on my couch. Or, as I found out later, to eat all my corn chips and watch my DVDs.

    The “What did you do today?” thread

    I saw Monsters University today. Good film, even though the projector gave the bottom third of the screen double vision. I told the manager about that, and she gave me a free pass to any movie in the next 3 months. And last night, which is technically today, I slept in a night splint...

    New XBox One features revealed

    I don't think the Kinect is that big a deal. If I were to buy one--note the subjunctive tense, indicating a condition that is not possible--I'd just hang a black cloth over the camera. Boom, privacy restored.

    New Monster for eBay

    Great work! Heh, my first thought on seeing this was "Mokey and Cantus had a baby!"

    How does Traveling Matt mail postcards

    How does Matt travel all over the world without having a big bank account to buy to plane tickets with? These are things we're supposed to accept on faith.

    Dark Crystal novel writing contest

    *chuckle* As a manager of two Henson DeviantArt groups, I've seen a ton of Jareth/Sarah material recently. It'd be wall-to-wall shipping. If I was into The Dark Crystal I'd be all over this. Ah well. I hope they get some good entries.

    Funniest Fraggle Rock Lines.

    In Mokey and the Minstrels, Mokey misunderstands Cantus's offer to walk together as an invitation to join the Minstrels. When Mokey starts rhapsodizing, Cantus puts a hand to his face. It's a small gesture, but to me it comes across as an underplayed foreheadsmack.

    Fraggle songs that make you cry

    I Don't Understand Him at All can bring me to tears because it hits home for me. You can love someone, yet get utterly infuriated with them. I feel so sorry for both Gobo and Matt in that episode.

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    You wouldn't think it possible for a train to get lost, would you? Yet MARTA, Atlanta's sad excuse for a public transportation system, managed that. At a certain station the north and northeast lines diverge, and a north train took the wrong turn and ended up in the northeast branch. Everyone...
