    Antron fleece uncertainties

    Bezalel is exactly right. Of course you can use "regular" fleece that you can find in most fabric/craft stores. As has been indicated it isn't going to hide the seems nearly as well, and you'll need to take whatever colors are available. I suppose you could dye some of the lighter colors to try...

    Make Money With Puppets! new eBook by Paul Louis

    Moving Eyes Mechanism work in progress

    You can get some very soft and flexible tubing for pretty cheap at your local pet store. In the fish aquarium supplies they sell rolls of it for about $3.00 I've used it for a variety of things. If you're looking for something a little more solid you can find some good plastic tubing in the...

    Moving Eyes Mechanism work in progress

    Dude. I wanted to take a stab at moving and blinking eyes. I ended up just going with blinking eyes and actually my first pass at those didn't end too well either. Worked well until actually installed into the puppet. Now it's sort of like the puppet had a stroke. Only one eye closes and not all...

    The line between puppetry and ventriloquism

    I agree that any acknowledgment or appreciation for the art of puppetry in whatever form is a good thing! I've had the same experience as others here. When I mention that I build and perform puppets people have often asked if I mean like Jeff Dunham. I usually say something similar to what Chris...

    Winter clothes for puppets?

    I also haunt the sale racks in the childrens section of Target and Kids R Us. I've scored some AWESOME deals in there. It's a pretty easy shopping detail because I don't generally HAVE to have any of these items so I can wait till I see something that will work for me at a price I like. I rarely...

    Winter clothes for puppets?

    They won't be there yet but hit that $1 isle in your local Target store closer to November and you should start to at least see some Santa hats for $1. I've nabbed many a great costume item for puppets in that isle. For Halloween they had pirate hats, fireman hats, witch and wizard hats all for...
