Thanks everyone for contributing these great ideas! It is really helping me out. Staceyrebecca, are you talking about blue foam? That stuff is great! I could defintely use that and I could buy or build a hotwire for extra easy carving. As for clothing patterns I do have an M-41 field...

I like this idea. Being a part of a world record is all well and good, but the puppets going to needy families and children though out the world is better. I made some Project Puppet Glorified Sock Puppet pattern to make a bunch of "blank" puppets for the young women to decorate as part of a...

Thanks Buck. That skeleton's joint system is very helpful. I was thinking about a photo copier too. I forgot to mention that this will be hand and rod puppet. I am not looking for complete realism with laytex, and cloth covering is okay by me. Any tips on posable hands? This is ambitious...

I'm toying around with the idea of a 1:3 scale human proprtioned puppet for my next puppet. He will be a US WWII Army infantryman PFC complete with uniform, boots, pack, gear, helmet, and rifle. (To skip the bulk and get to the point, scroll down to the **.) I will make everything from...

Slightly freaky. I am not inclined to consume that at this time.

That is so simple! I have wondered how they make the puplis bounce around like that and now I know! And knowing is half the battle.

I'd do the same thing, but watch the master at work. Better yet, I want a "machine" in the form of a youtube chanel that would have video examples of exactly what I am having trouble with at the time. Things like how to make fleece pattern to cover a duck bill without it puckering, how to make...

Don't worry about it. Stuff like that happens more often than I'd like. I chalk it up to not paying attention a lot of the time. And now back to the puppets...

Yeah, that clarifies 2 things: 1) Who Morge the Orge is. 2) I can't spell and therefore can't read. I thought that the "the" in Morge the Orge was an "and". I also thought that Orge was pronouced like the end of George. Yeah, I don't pay attention and I guess I've never seen the word Orge...

Which one is Moger and which one is Ogre?

The Shakers made amazing stuff. That workbench is definitely something to be salivated over. All these people with extra rooms or two rooms even! I have to clean up whenever I finish for the day! I guess it forces me to be really organized with each project and I know for sure where...

"I got my beard in your ham." "Is this even Ham?" haha! When the guy said "ham?" after he oredered, I expected him to follow it up with, "I didn't order that, I'm jewish!". I am always so jeleous of your club. I wish I had that back in high school, or even now. Very well done, as usual...

The ideal thing would be to have your own studio, but that is just a dream for most of us. I work in the kitchen/dining room because there are a lot of big flat surfaces for me to speard my stuff around. It is also good to have a spot where you can always leave some stuff out and work on...

Teenager's, A portfolio is a showcase of your very best work. Refering to portfolios I was threatened with the phrase "You are only as good as your worst sketch" all through school. It is true, and it is not. They will be looking at your over all body of work and if you have one crap sketch...

AWESOME! Dude!

I would have liked this show as a kid. I was very interested in seeing what went on behind the sceens in places like offices and factories and seeing the diffent jobs and thing that were done there, and I loved puppets. I did enjoy the show, and the catchy rock-esque theme music helped it have...

I love them! I love the pictures of Satan with Pope John Paul II and Condoleezza Rice in the background of the Birthday one. It's those little details that make it just that much better.

Seriously Ugly.

The Halloween season is upon us and this is positively the best time of the year to get out there and get your puppet building supplies. Super sales on Faux fur at fabric stores, isles and isles of wigs, false eyelashes, and other fantastic random stuff that are great for puppet building and...

Wow! That is great that all those new people showed. Maybe this year is your year for something fantastic to happen. I'm glad I could plant a seed in your brain because it is your age that great things need to start. You and your club are part of the future of puppetry and you might have...
