I think the guitar is really good as it is. Maybe this is a general Fraggle guitar, and you could make another one that's a replica of Gobo's? How heavy is this? Heavy props can be a problem, both in terms of strain on the puppeteer's arm and how they can "mush" into the puppet.

I remember that bit, and that's how it came across to me too. It seems to me that Disney is tweaking some things about the Muppets. you no longer ever see the Muppeteers working their characters, or even with the characters, because that would supposedly spoil the illusion. So much for...

Heh, you can probably guess. :sigh:

Thank you, guys! I was hoping he'd be neato-ish. I'm certainly happy to have him in my growing puppet family. And I'm close to done with my next puppet, too. :sigh:

I finally finished Sidebottom. Added buttons to his pants (the original puppet didn't have 'em, but they seemed in character), added his corsage, put some more feathers on his cap, and made a few other tweaks: Sidebottom's Point Sidebottom's Side and Bottom As you can see, he's aware...

I will own the HECK out of this book. And I don't mean it as in "0wnz" or "pwn" or any such twittery. I mean, I will exchange money for goods!

All that made sense to me, but then both of my parents are symphonic musicians, so I grew up with musical jargon. My father even plays the oboe, which is the instrument (synthed) they use for Cantus's's's's Magic Pipe. The reason I ask is because I'm writing something in which someone is...

Where can I buy one? How much are they? Want!

Silly question time: does anyone here know enough about vocal ranges to tell me if Cantus is a tenor or a baritone? I want to think tenor, but then I listen to Music Makes us Real (Ping!) and think he could be a baritone.

Earlier in the story he was younger; later in the story he's older. So, yep.

Peeking Out: A quick at-work inspirational pic for the penultimate chapter of my fic-in-progress, The Minstrel's Path. Sharpie on scratch paper, and I fail at perspective.

Ah, cool. That's what I meant. TV Tropes has a page for this kind of thing: Platonic Life Partners, which fits them neatly. When I was in the playing-with-ideas stage of this fic I considered having someone mistake the nature of Cantus and Murray's relationship. No fuss about it, just an...

I wasn't sure when I wrote this that "brother-found" would make sense, but I didn't know how else to put it. How did that come across? As far as Murray's past goes, heh, now you know why he was so quick to leave with Cantus. It was a rash decision, but Edrra didn't object. She probably...

What could break Cantus's heart? ***** The Minstrel's Path Part 26 by Kim McFarland ***** The Minstrels had been traveling north for some time. They had started soon after the thaw, and now…well, it was hard to tell what time of year it was. It seemed like it should have been warmer. The...

That's why I have a stash of Rit dye in all sorts of colors. If I can't find the color I want--which is usually the case--I'll make it myself. That's dandy for things like cotton and Antron fleece, but not so good for things like fake fur. I spent a week trying to dye some white fur orange...

Those age ranges make the episode We Love You, Wembley uber-creepy. Darling! Beloved! Sweetheart! Sugar lips!

Heh, "transcriptorator". I like that word. Never fear, I'll somehow bumble through. The next chapters will take Our Heroes to a location you probably wouldn'e expect. The Minstrels gotta keep moving! He was momentarily dismayed, yes. They hadn't needed his guidance after all? What was he...

Oh, poopie. I hate it when I switch names around. This is just a little odd; my best goof was having Janken bark into the telephone in A Wandering Heart. As for Canus, that's a bit of foreshadowing for a later chapter in which it is revealed that once per lunar cycle Cantus grows fangs and howls...

I'm just a posting fool! Everybody knows it! Although they usually leave out the "posting" part. ***** The Minstrel's Path Part 25 by Kim McFarland ***** It was a dark and stormy night, but that was elsewhere in the world. Here, in the Gorgs' garden, it was a pleasant spring morning...

Thanks! Heh, Cantus has a soft spot for those who call him what she calls him. ;)
