"Many of the things I've done in my life have basically been self-taught. I think we, as the Muppets, broke new ground because we approached puppetry from a different angle. I had never worked with puppets when I was a kid, and even when I began on television, I really didn't know what I was...

Have you gone over to Mesa yet to see this? http://www.arizonamuseumforyouth.com/Home.aspx

I don't know. Looks "inspired by" to me. Especially the costume.

Keeping on the subject, for my wife, I made a Valentine's card featuring a picture of our three year old (wearing a jester's hat and my wife's boots) and a list of "thank you for's" from my son and me. Included in the list were Antron Fleece and Reticulated Foam.

Wow. You've built all these puppets?

Hmmmm, don't do much improv there, do ya' Stacey? ;)

Okay. How about this: The reason you are having trouble coming up with a name for your show is that you don't know what your show is about. "just about a group of puppets getting into wacky adventures." is not what the show is about. That's too general. It doesn't say anything about who...

Check in the thread at the top of the forum, "Puppeteers Resources Links".

Frank Oz. He's the most talented and the most diverse. But honestly, I would talk to him more about film directing than anything else.

Take a look at this production of "Merry Wives of Windsor" at the Cal Shakes Festival: http://www.calshakes.org/v4/06shows/mww/merry_wives.mov It's a Quicktime They built a big puppet for Falstaff.

Okay, first, proper credit for the Plasti-Dip goes to Swazzle Puppet 101 blog. http://swazzle.com/blogs/2005/11/arm-rods-part-three.html As for time, I kind of stopped noticing how long it takes to dry because I just do a bunch and leave them sit over night. But now that I look at the...

I didn't have access to a heat gun at the time I was using the tubes. BING!

Hi Staceyrebecca! Yeah, what Blink said. Also try Plasti-dip: http://www.plastidip.com/index.php I switched from the tubing to Plasti-Dip because it didn't require me to sit there with the hair dryer. Also wanted to post on your thread to make your e-mail go "bing!"
