    Kermit v5 (and last) finished!

    Thanks! It looks wonderful! I though Kemit's puplis were made of a thin black felt. Thinner than other characters' pupils.

    He looks great! How you have choose the right color? What did you use for his eyes domes?

    Kermit replica

    Perhaps the eyes distance, yes. And the tongue looks a little rounded, maybe? But it seems great for me. What green did you use? Do you know what's the right color?

    How to start making puppets?

    This is the puppet I'm working on. I still look forward to working with the corresponding materials, but I don't get them easily where I live, Rosario city (Argentina). At the moment, this character uses a generic fleece (I couldn't get Antron), the upholstery of his mouth is foamy and his...

    It looks wonderful! What did you use for the mouthplates inside?

    How to start making puppets?

    Thanks for the answer, Buck! Yes, I know that Miss Piggy is flocked, and her structure is made of latex foam by molds. However I can see that some muppets who are not flocked or devoid of upholstered look softer than others. I´m talking about the last version of them. I know they've changed a...

    How to start making puppets?

    Hi friends: Does anyone know if some muppets use another kind of fleece than Antron? I feel that characters like Bunsen have a softer texture than Kermit. Is it maybe the reverse side of Antron? Or, can the fleece be shaved?

    Professor puppet and new Kermit replica

    Does anyone know if this is true? I though the real Pantone was 375C or 376C: http://www.trulydeeply.com.au/madly/files/2014/07/Pantone-Ads-Colors-with-Famous-Characters2-640x960.jpg

    Professor puppet and new Kermit replica

    Thanks a lot! Sadly, I can't find those dome eyes here, in Argentina. All you find here are very flat little eyes, painted with iris and pupils for teddy bears and small dolls. I need to test different eyes with some bases of plastic bottles and other plastic containers. Even I can't find...

    They look wonderful! What do you use for the inner mouth plates and for the eyes?

    How to start making puppets?

    Sure, that's the idea I had. Only when you need to define a volume, like a bump on a flat surface. A bulging forehead, nose windows, bulging cheeks, cheekbones, protruding lips, inner ears. I guess they used this for characters like Statler and Waldorf, or Link Hogthrob. Although I'm not sure if...

    How to start making puppets?

    In my short experience you never sew the fleece to the foam, maybe sometimes you need to glue a special section, but the skin must not be totally fixed, just enough tighten to not move. That allows it more flexibility. There are videos about how to sew and how to hide the seams. Look for ladder...

    How to start making puppets?

    I remember a similar situation when I was a child, here in Argentina. There was a character quite forgotten today, called Zoquete (it's also "Sock" and "Silly"). It was very elementary, but in a program they explained how they almost improvised it all the time with a sock, a ping pong ball and a...
