There were also some puppet stunts in the Original Muppet Movie--Namely Kermit riding the Ceiling fan at the El Sleezo, and Gonzo getting carried off with baloons.

I would consider making 'live hands puppets. Those hands move and look more convincing than animatronic or rod puppet ones.

Yes, those are rubber stamps. LOL. As far as the 'magic triangle goes, is there a formula or a way to guarantee that the eyes and nose are on the triangle? Thanks!

Edna and Harold are simply fleece with some stuffing. they're made from the Glorified Sock Puppet pattern. Red is from Project Puppet's Pinhead Pattern, and has a foam skull. Esther has a foam skull and a foam body, and George is knitted with stuffing.

Well, while I'm sorry that it got pirated, I can't wait for the next episode! Great work!

Do you know when it will re-air or when the second episode will be on? I forgot to set my VCR and I was out of town. :(

WOW! You're following in Mr. Henson's footsteps, I see. IIRC, he made short films and animations long before he got involved in puppetry. Great Job! I'd like to hear more of the story. I've always loved the Greek Myths.

That's ok. I hope to have a team eventually, but while everyone smiles and says "those puppets are great" I haven't found someone who seems interested in the behind the scenes stuff.

Yes, I'm performing alone, but that might be doable. Just the 2 puppets and minimal scenery. Hmmm. Now to find some fairytales to fracture . . .

I don't have a particular brand. I just get the plain ol' white plastic picnic spoons you see at Wally World or elsewhere for approx $1.00 for 100. Just cut off the handles, sand the cut spot, add a pupil, lid, lashes, etc. and Voila!

I'm kinda proud but also very scared and unsure how to continue. Due to my efforts to get a puppet ministry going at my church, I have been asked to do a 15-min. performance at a Literacy Night program. The group that is hosting the program is doing a spaghetti supper fundraiser, and then...

I think this was mentioned in Drew Allison's Foam Book and the accompanying videos, but he uses the wire that they use to hang ceiling tiles and Doll Joints. He bends the top in a loop around the post of the doll joint, kind of like the puppet planet tutorial, and then he bends the wire back...

Cool! The the problem is that these kids haven't been so much recruited as conscripted. I told the church leaders that I wanted to work with 'some of the older kids', and somewhere along the line that became 'The older kids.' So now one Sunday School Lesson per month is devoted to puppetry...

I finally figured out what to do with the puppets that I had made that were just on stands in my basement. I'm going to use them in a puppet ministry at my church. I've gotten the church education board behind it, and the adult leadership is almost as excited as I am. I've purchased several...

I can't speak for StaceyRebecca, but you've got some competition in Minnesota! I just sent mine in!

Puppets can be made of just about anything. However, Most of the puppets you see out there today are some variation of fleece and foam. As far as creating the character, I would recommend the 'Ratchet' tutorial on the Puppet 101 blog from Swazzle. (I don't remember the link right now.) Also...

Made me think of Marvin Suggs. Good work!

Lady C, I don't know of specific suppliers in the UK, but I think Antron Fleece is only produced by Georgia Stage. I'm pretty sure they will ship internationally. As far as poster board, I think it might be referred to as 'card' across the pond. It comes in various sizes, but commonly is...

He's adorable! Great puppet!
