Cantus: She'll find her song, in time. Murray: In time for tomorrow's medley? Cantus: She has a long way to go, though the journey is short. The medley will not start without her. [Cantus saunters off.] Murray: Did he answer my question? [Balsam nods. Brio shakes her head. Brool shrugs.]...

Puppet hairdressing 101! The start. I've for the head all ready except for the pupils (which I save for last) and, duh, the hair. For her hair I dyed dozens of ostrich feathers teal and light kelly green (with a bit of yellow added). Here's the head, two unshredded feathers to show what...

I think you're right. Boober's high-strung, to the point of often screaming and jumping (or even falling down) when someone calls his name, so of course he's going to freak at first. But I like to think that eventually Red gets a feel for his boundaries, and he develops a tolerance for her...

Tickle Boober! Red exacts her revenge for all the times he's tested her baloobius. As we can see, his is in fine shape.

Eh, I use the word because that's what I do. When I take time off, I stay at home and sleep until I feel like waking up and eat meals whenever I feel like it and work on projects as the spirit moves me. "Staycation" is an easy term to use when Imean "I'm taking time off at home because that's...

Curable doesn't mean cured. It means that he can be cured. He's not out of the woods yet, but he's getting there, which is good news indeed. But he still has chemo and radiation therapy to go, and those are no walk in the park.

Interesting blog. I was about to add one point, but she covered it at the very end: boys and girls are equal in Fraggle Rock. Really, Fraggles are non-diamorphic, meaning that there's little physical difference between males and females. There's nothing that encourages them to think of gender...

ndanityana : Spamalama ding dong.

I think I know which site you're referring to. It was archived at punchandjewelry.com. However, that domain has expired. You can likely find everything that was on that site in The Wayback Machine.

Ah yes. I have two of those figures, and I painted one up to look like Negaduck. That was the only "supersized" figue. And, heh, I have some DWD wall trim, still in the package.

If you show them at their current ages there would be a continuity issue with the series, as in The Riddle of Rhyming Rock and Born to Wander we saw that The Storyteller had a crush on Matt when they were both young.

Starting over is a pain, but when you're building puppets it happens. The good news is that the second time should be much quicker, especially if you have pattern pieces to go by.

I've already started my next puppet. As it will have some different features, what the heck, I'll dump more stuff of possible interest here. Here's how I do mouthplates: The plate itself is gasket rubber, available from the plumbing section of Home Depot and other such stores. Sewn to...

Off the top of my head I'd suggest coathanger wire for the body and florist's wire for little, non-weight-bearing things like fingers.

I just ordered some burlap from fabric.com...

Hah, that was fun to read. Poor Sam, he's trying, but he is on such a different wavelength from everyone else. Good work. Side note: in an elementary school game I was on first base, and the first baseman told me that because I was the second runner I should go straight to third without...

I use the foam pattern, add a seam allowance, pin it to the head, and sew it right there. Easy-peasy.

I'm hearing that in Mokey's voice as she pulls Red away from the singing cacti in Wonder Mountain.

There are a few puppets I plan to build in the near future. They include, in alphabetical order, Cantus, Janken (2.0, now that I know I can do a better job on him), Mokey, and Red. As for which of those I'll make next, well, I dunno. Could be any one of 'em. Or it might be another if I get...

Snerk! Great stuff. I don't often LOL, but I did for this pic. (And speaking of pinups and of your sig, I watched The Life of Brian last night...) Fraggle pinup calendar? Hmm, that might be a fun project...
