    How to make a puppet pattern

    It worked great, Anders. I built number ten (Timmy) and have been meaning to e-mail you pictures, but Timmy has been living with one of my puppeteers while preparing for a Christmas performance. I'll send you some shots soon. Yahnke, sorry to be of so little help. I understand about the...

    Help with Fabric Selection

    I saw some fabric at a Jo-Ann etc. that was a spandex type of material with an overlay of metallic fish-net (openings of about 3/8") in green, yellow, orange and hot pink. They were really dazzling. I was thinking that they would be perfect for a snake or, in your case, a lizard. It seems...

    How to make a puppet pattern

    My first puppet was a monster puppet that was similar in shape and build with the three head approach as found in the foam book. The top half of the head is two semi-circular pieces of foam (the straight edge is the length of the perimeter of the mouth plate) and the curved part is the top. I...

    Foamcore mouthplates

    I purchased a 4' X 8' sheet of corrugated plastic from a local plastic supplier for $5. I figure I can get at least 30 or more mouth plates out of it. Also, I purchased Plexiglas from the same place ($36 for 4' X 8' sheet). It is more difficult to work with (tendency to crack during cutting...

    Ages?

    :sing: I'm eighteen and I don't know what I want...(Alice Cooper) I wish I were eighteen, but I am apparently the oldest one here. I guess this makes me "Dead Tom". Woo Hoo! 30 posts.

    Going Insane Over Eyes

    I use a grommet tool (the little part that cuts the hole) on felt. Works pretty well.

    Dyeing and drying

    Let me show my age: I went from skinny leather ties and Rick Springfield hair to ripped up jeans and Bon Jovi hair. The artist Prince was known as Prince before he was formerly known as Prince. I could work a Rubik's cube in less than 2 minutes. I got footloose a time or two. I wanted a best...

    Dyeing and drying

    Ah, yes Sun-In. I remember it well. All the skirts I chased had a bottle in their purse. I wax nostalgic thinking about it. That and swatches...and parachute pants. I still have mine. I'm waiting for them to come back into style.

    Dyeing and drying

    Kool! :cool: ..... (Aid:p ) Thanks for the input. I thought it was a good idea. I mean, all of my kid's clothes have red spots on them. I think Osh Kosh should market clothes like that so people would think you bought them that way, B'gosh. Sort of kiddie-camo. If I try it on Antron...

    Going Insane Over Eyes

    Thanks. I may try that, after I've been at this a little longer. Besides,my garage looks like some mass puppet crime scene and my wife is wanting to park a car in there--something about winter weather coming. She'd never go for it...yet. "It was horrible. There wuz foam everywhere. Pools...
