Out of curiosity, was it in the FR cartoon or not. If it was in FR and they edit the sound, puppet mouths will still "say" Gobo, that could look a tad strange.

Great job (and I'm immensely jealous of your profile pic)!

UNIMA in the US has a list of puppetry schools around the world on their website. The University of Conneticut offers a four year bachelor of puppetry (That's right, nothing but puppetry) and is one of the only institutions that offers such a high degree of training. The site lists both short...

Spray paint. If you're 18 in NSW (darn laws) hardware shops/variety stores sell spray paint that will do fine, whether you want gloss or matte paint is dependent on whether the puppet is for theatre or for screen. You could also find paint at specialist paint stores, art and graffiti supply...

Man am I happy somone uploaded this.

Loved it! Tell your friend that there is an internet audience keen for more, I feel like this one is unresolved.

Ilovemusic - yeah, I got it previously. I'm more after the other 2.

Great work, love how expressive his face can be.

Hi - if you're looking for foam rubber you can easily buy it at Clark rubber, either by the metre or as scraps they call "dog bed foam". It cost me $20 for a sheet that will build 3 large puppet heads, about 1 metre by half a metre by half a metre, inch thick. My mouthboards have been cardboard...

Well, unfortunately we had to take our cat of 17 years to get put down yesterdya. It's a shame but I don't find myself really depressed about it, just feeling strange as there's no longer a cat around.

Newspapers just don't like puppetry. I recall reading an article about public broadcasting in the US that mentioned SST, saying "The actors that play the puppets..." Wait what? We have a name and now we have a thing against newspapers. I didn't find that article funny at all, not really...

Ohhhh I'm late on this one - Happy Birthday!

Puppetry, some comedy, playing the musical saw, card magic, knife juggling and hopefully straightjacket escape, when I can afford a straitjacket. To be honets I don't know that much about posting photos here, I believe you can embed a photo from a site like photobucket as well as upload an...

Your cat is certainly doing far better than mine - mine hasn't eaten for days and is clearly at the end, kidney and pancreas disease. Granted, he's 17 and that's real old for a cat.

Hah, you know, with a bit of luck I might be up north this time next year for the Buskers festival, perhaps with puppets or perhaps not.

FFFFFFFF of all the times for my internet to be super slow, it's when someone digs up a collab of two of my creative idols.

Sydney, chances are you're a far better puppet maker than I, it's still nice to meet some fellow Australian puppet enthusiasts.

Professional eyes are a DIY deal, if you aren't using straight out glass eyes or taxidermy eyes. Painting the backs of plastic spoons and halved spherical shapes, like Christmas baubles often work. Several coats of white spray paint should do the trick for most projects.

Lizzie - Really? I went to Clark Rubber and had to give them 20 good dollars for half a sq metre of the stuff!

Oscarfan - me too! It's not meant to have sound, you talk and it's just like a puppet.
