    Puppet Builders

    Hey, I've seen your website and have been impressed for along time. I could see the Pannerbecker-esque influences in many of your puppets. It helped inspire me to purchase the Arms Length Videos. I'm a newbie, but "Trudy", who is my eighth puppet can be seen at the Bear-Town web site in...

    Dyeing and drying

    Here's an idoits question-- Can you dye with Kool-Aid? (not with sugar in it,duh) I mean, anyone who has kids, knows someone with kids or has ever seen a kid, knows that that stuff don't wash out.

    Does a cold affect your performance?

    That was wonderful! Bravo! I loved it! It was great! Well, it was pretty good. Well, it wasn’t bad. Well, there were parts of it that weren’t very good. Could have been better. I didn’t really like it. It was pretty terrible. It was bad! It was awful! How dare they !?! Get them...

    Dyeing and drying

    When I was dying test swatches of Antron, I used the blow dryer to see where I was without any problems. Let me first say that I have only dyed about two yards in my life, so my knowledge on the subject is vast, but I say go for it. Logically, it couldn't hurt. Anywho, my first two...

    Puppet lips

    It's funny that this topic came up. I do not pretend to know much, but I did this for the first time today and am extremely happy with the results. I first cut the lips out of 1" foam then I carefully shaped them using a belt sander (use caution with power tools, fingers do not grow back)...

    Putting Fabric to Foam

    I have a problem with my fabric “puckering” when I roll it over onto the mouth plate. I cut the fabric on a straight line approximately ½ inch past the mouth opening. Any suggestions? Ben

    Armslength Videos OR Pattern

    Thanks for the welcome, Buck. I, as most people, find that you are a wealth of information. [/I] I didn't feel that anything was missing from the Arms Length videos that imagination shouldn't remedy. The video covers head and body construction, which is sort of the blank canvas when creating...

    Armslength Videos OR Pattern

    Hey, Long time looker, first time poster...Actually, the Pannabecker video is a two part instructional video. I think you will enjoy it and the cost will quickly be lost into the recesses of your mind. He does some intresting things. It is amazing to actually see a professional puppet builder...
