    Skin tones for foam

    Hi everyone. I'm making a couple of humanoid puppets out of regular ol' polyurethane foam. It's that 3/4 inch thick mattress stuff...not the egg crate stuff, but flat and that basic yellowish foam color. It's better quality (or so the package stated) than other foams, and I got it at...

    This is rather sad...

    Just to clarify, I didn't make that Electric Company site. I'm just a fan of the show. I had the site bookmarked, and when I clicked on it yesterday, I was saddened to find that it was closed down. Convincing John

    Making A "Slit" Mouth

    Hey, thanks, guys! An open mouth...makes sense. It'd probably be more flexible too. Reinforcing the interior of the head...yeah I'll look into that. Even though this puppet wont get a lot of hard use, I'll take your advice on using a bandage on the inside of the mouth. And oh yeah...

    New Piece of Art in Progress Honoring Celebrities

    Well, I started writing those letters way back in early June (some in May) and I figure I would have heard back from more of them if there were concerns...especially from celebrities who aren't as popular today as they used to be (Dom DeLuise, Garrett Morris, etc.). I know some celebrities...
