I went to see Stuffed and Unstrung on the 20th and noticed the arm rods on Brian Henson's alien puppet were bent like crazy. You'd think that they'd have someone on staff fixing this stuff, but he put on an awesome performance, bent arm rods and all.

Is the Project Puppet guy okay with this?

Its based on the Roly pattern, meaning its a pattern you made based on the roly pattern? How is it different form the Roly pattern?

I love the look of this guy http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Fat_Blue I would like to build something similar, but it doesn't look like Anton.

Good Stuff!

I'd like to know as well

Are there any there fabrics used by the Henson workshop for characters' other than fleece and fur? What are the whatnots covered in?

how about taping those that do agree. I think some video examples would be great.

Notes and Handouts would be sweet!
