    My latest buddy: Gobo Fraggle

    Thank you! I'm wembling on who to make next. It only seems fair to make one of the ladies of Fraggle Rock. Hmm...Aunt Granny? Lou? Rock Hockey Hannah?

    My latest buddy: Gobo Fraggle

    ..Aaaaand Gobo is clothed! Oh man, that vest was such a pain to make. It has two pockets in front on each side, and a wide one in the back. I've put a postcard in the back one, and some Doozer sticks in one of the smaller ones, but what else should I fill 'em with? Gobo joins his...

    Puppet-in-Progress: From the foam up

    Thank you! If you approve of my Gobo, than I know he looks good. I finished Gobo up today! Here's one last under-the-hood shot: His head is not sewn onto his neck. Rather, it's attached to a sleeve, which I safety pin to his, um, exit port. I've done all of my puppets this way since...

    On Writing Fan Fiction (Rules & Advice)

    On the subject of death... Death is permanent, and very serious. It should not be treated lightly. This ain't a video game, where defeated sprites blink and then vanish; every death is the end of a world. That said, I don't believe it's a "thou shalt not". There are reasons for death. It...

    My latest buddy: Gobo Fraggle

    Thanks, guys. I'm sewing his vest now. With luck he'll be fully clothed this weekend.

    Slackbot's text sketchbook

    Thanks. I considered several characters for this story, and almost went with Kermit for the insectivore angle, but as soon as I remembered Robin I knew he was the one. I've written so little for him, not because I don't like him, but, well, not a whole lot has occurred to me as of yet. Heh...

    Just when you thought kids' programming couldn't get any stranger....

    "Transgender" is a term in flux; I used it in the sense of (CTRL+C CTRL+V) "of, relating to, or designating a person whose identity does not conform unambiguously to conventional notions of male or female gender roles, but combines or moves between these." "Gender bending" (CTRL+C CTRL+V) "is...

    Just when you thought kids' programming couldn't get any stranger....

    Cross-dressing is not the right term here. He changes into a girl, so it's transgender. If he were a boy in girl clothes, then it would be crossdressing. This may seem like semantic quibbling, but it's pretty significant. As far as this being inappropriate, why? Because a cartoon it might...

    Slackbot's text sketchbook

    A random little thing inspired by the tomato plants I wish I was growing and the utter lack of space for a garden in my condo. ***** Organic Refreshments by Kim McFarland ***** It was a warm and sunny day. The air was still and slightly humid; it had rained last night. The jacuzzi in...

    Slackbot draws stuff

    Heh, it's fair to say that Janken is very fond of the ground on which Cantus walks. Yeah, his hair is a bit short, isn't it? Maybe he just donated to Locks of Love or something. Or maybe he recently shed his winter hairdo.

    Puppet-in-Progress: From the foam up

    The shirt wasn't striped. I painted the stripes on myself.

    Vivendi to release new Fraggle Rock DVDs and other Henson Classics

    Yes, "Boober the Doozer." That was the first Fraggle comic I saw, and it got me interested in what else Archaia had to offer. So, it did its job. :)

    My latest buddy: Gobo Fraggle

    Thanks. I posted about how I made it, mainly how I got the stripes, in the "Puppet in Progress" thread.

    My latest buddy: Gobo Fraggle

    "Duhhhhhh..." Gobo is decent! And he will get more decent when I make his vest and give him a real scarf rather than a swatch hacked off an old T-shirt. Soon, very soon.

    Puppet-in-Progress: From the foam up

    I'm working on clothing Gobo. One problem was, how to do the stripes on his shirt? It's not like I can just buy that fabric. The answer... Buy a T-shirt at Goodwill, cut it up, use masking tape to mark the edges of the stripes, and put 'em on with fabric paint. I used a scrap bit of...

    Vivendi to release new Fraggle Rock DVDs and other Henson Classics

    I believe the art is by Nicol Ashworth. She drew a story in one of the Fraggle comics. It was the one in which Red challenged everyone to an eating contest.

    Slackbot draws stuff

    This isn't a drawing by me. When Andrew Dobson offered to do commissions for a pretty sweet price, I asked for a pic of Cantus playing the Magic Horn, with Janken listening admiringly. I love the result. It's actually not final--Cantus's fur and Janken's fur and tail colors are off--but I get...

    Colour of Reds hair??

    When dyeing Antron fleece--and hair feathers--I usually use dilute baths so as not to overdo the color. For Wembley's greenish-yellow skin I did two baths of lemon yellow and then a very, very quick, dilute bath of kelly green.

    I see they got Boober to join the Poohbahs.
