Do a search for "Puppet Noses" in this forum- look and you shall find :-)

This is a good start- you might have to alter the pattern a bit but I've seen a couple of people use it with good results. http://www.projectpuppet.com/servlet/-strse-10/The-Punto-Puppet-Pattern/Detail

You'll want a 25-35ppi Foam. In regards to mechanisms- it depends on what you need from the mech and the strain it will put on the foam structure. You might have to create a plastic "shell" to hold the mechs. Simple plastic hit with a heat gun or Vacuum Forming might be required. L200 and L100...

These are my opinion, yours might differ but I post this to help... I don't know how many of you are new to forums and I know this topic has been flogged to death on here and other forums but I want to reiterate a couple of things I'm finding have been a trend here the last few months...

What the? You asked us for a honest opinion and I gave it. It doesn't mean you suck and deserve to drop everything you have been working on thus far. If you read my post you'd find I said I did some of the things I pointed out about your videos. The point to all this is that Rome wasn't build in...

Okay here goes... Your puppet eye line is off at times- try to get a monitor when you perform or have someone look and tell you when your eyeline is good. Basically, if the puppet is talking to the audience (camera) he should be looking directly at the camera. You also have floppy head...

I know the stuff you are talking about- I use to mend Puppets for a puppet theatre and found puppets where the silver/gold was basically broken down (or worn down) to the material underneath. I found there wasn't really anything I could do but recover it with the same material. Paint might eat...

If you do the ladder stitch perfectly you won't see a stitch. A whip stitch from the back side of the fabric will hide too but it has to be a very tight stitch. Haven't tried the grey, perhaps I'll try that and see too.

I think you're wasting your time- I recommend purchasing thread that comes close to the fabric colour you are using.

I dunno. Wish I could be more help. I think if she isn't taking orders she should then close up her website. Just my two cents.

Love the puppet and The Ol' Sketchbook! Your character design is flawless!

Pepsico purchased the company and stopped all production for a brief period- the original Antron was made from carpet fiber- this new stuff is still made from carpet fiber but (my theory) is that they use a cheaper more stain resistant fiber. I think the original also came in 12 and 14oz.

Anytime! :-)

LOL glad to see it is helping people! They look awesome! I noticed the Muppet Theme Wedding you are planning- please keep me updated on that! thecreatureworks@hotmail.com I would love to post pictures on my blog! Let me know if you are interested :-) Thanks for the feedback too!

It is definitely cheaper than L100/200 route. :-)

LOL Half an hour! LOL Boiling temperatures! LOL The old Antron was much more easier...for sure! I just recently worked with the old Antron and it was incredible. I compared the old to the new and found that the problem with new Antron is that the fiber is much different than the old fabric. It...

I was shown the method of boning (from a Muppet Alumni) to keep your puppet's body rigid. Boning is simply using stronger material inside the puppet to keep it from collapsing. I use to use coat hanger wire (shaped in a circle) wrapped in foam and then hot glued in the body. Terry Angus recently...

I recommend a Dollar Store or Second hand store (Value Village, Goodwill) sometimes you can purchase glasses and hats cheaply and then alter them to suit your needs/size.

I recommend using a ladder stitch- see my tutorial. The problem you are having is that your stitches are too big- with a whip stitch you need to enter the fabric with the needle pretty close to the fabric line. If you enter the fabric too high and then tighten it will cause the fabric to...
