Very nice! I'm particularly impressed with the subtlety of their performances. So many of us tend to "over act" with our puppets when we first begin. It's clear that some acting experience has served them well. Excellent work! I shall look forward to more monstrous performances!:batty:

Hello Michele! I'm so glad to hear that things have improved for you and your family! I had only just discovered your site and work about the time that things turned for the worse for you. I had tried at that time to contact you and just open a discussion with you about trying to run a puppet...

I agree with both viewpoints. That is to say, yes the lecture seemed a little rough and first draftish, but it WAS COMPLETELY worth it! As I mentioned in my earlier post I was more than happy to be a part of Steve's beginning to explore this whole lecture idea. I'll gladly pay $30 and more to be...

Just finished up with the lecture and class. What an amazing time! Met up with a couple of fellow forum folks while there too! It was a terrific time and totally worth the 30+ hours of driving! Unfortunately there are STRICT limitations on any kind of photos or recording so I only have my...

Just to be clear...when I said, I'll be only to happy to share my experiences on my return in whatever way I can!" I meant in whatever legal and non-restricted way. I'll share my stories, recollections and possibly a still photo or two. I completely agree with and respect all of the rules...

I'm THERE! Just booked for Sunday the 17th! My wife and I will be driving down from Wisconsin to attend. I'm so excited it's quite possible I may burst! It'll be our first time at the Center for Puppetry Arts and then the class and lecture...PLUS we've booked the Life & Legacy of Jim Henson...

Welcome! Nice work on those puppets! I hope you enjoy your visits to this forum as much as I do. While I haven't posted anywhere near as much as many folks I always enjoy checking in with my brothers and sisters in the world of fleece and foam! The puppet community is a pretty tight knit little...

I'll chime in as well...awesome job! I really like the photos you took of the whole process. Gives some insight into your techniques. I like your clever use of materials like a spoon for an eyepatch and a coke bottle bottom for an eye. Excellent work!

Okay, I'll give it a shot. Seems a little weird for me to speak as a "puppeteer" though. I have yet to actually perform in a single puppet show. It's been a dream for a long time and I'm working towards creating and putting up a youtube puppet show, but so far my experiences are quite minimal...

Just watched episode 3 (and subscribed). Looks like a good beginning. I have to give you a tip of the hat. I'm currently working on a puppet web show of my own and am WAAAAAY behind you! I've got a first script written, and puppet and set designs, but that's about it so far. I've been stuck...

Well, as a huge George Harrison and puppet fan allow me to add my input. Awesome! I can understand your hesitance to approach George's family and/or Sir Paul. There's a good chance that they would see it for the loving tribute that it is though, rather than anything "creepy". With the...

Overall I agree with my fellow posters here. The foam book is a good starting place too. I have to say that I'm a BIG fan of the Project Puppet stuff. They also have some great free tutorials on their site. Also here's a link to some free videos by Paul Louis Muller to give you a whole...

I will add my voice to those already hoping for future offerings of this course, as my summer is also a bit crazy this year. If I could just win the lottery so I could quit my "day job" I would be able to get on with making and performing puppets ALL the time! Have to work on that!

The important thing to remember in this case of course is to not cry if in fact you do drop the milk....

Fan-freakin-tastic! The Muppets are back! Of course they never really left, so...I guess the Muppets are still here! But I guess that sounds kind of weird, so...um...the Muppets are....well...they are...the Muppets! Thank goodness for that! The world can always use a little more silly.

Thanks for the vote of confidence and the info on Mouse Trap Theater. I would be curious indeed to hear their tale. Didn't see it anywhere at the site though. Hey, since you're based (at least at the moment) not too far from southern Wisconsin maybe you'll be able to join in the fun or at...

WOW DC! Awesome response! As to whether your response helps, everyone's responses help! I guess I've pretty much already made up my mind to go for this. What I'm looking for (and getting!) from my fellow artists here at Muppet Central Forum is encouragement from their own personal tales of...

I should have realized that staceyrebecca was a talent vampire! The recent increase in bankers and accountants in the Phoenix area should have tipped me off! Very sneaky you.

Yoiks! I was too slow again! Now I'll have to wait or feed the flux capacitor or something.

YAY! Starving artistry here I come! :zany:
