Nothing offline for me. I had to do it all online. I get upholstery foam from a company called TW Foam, who do large quanities of foam (at custom measurements) for a fair price. Just a shame it isn't the proper stuff! As for fur and things, I like to use ebay - some brilliant sales on Ebay...

it amazes me that you all can manage so many muppet voices - any chance someone can record their voices? i must confess that i cannot do one muppet voice to save my life - i can do a typical impersonator's attempt at kermit, which is really awful! all the best with your voices.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I used to love Lambchop as a little person... that bloody song eventually irritated me! I have a Lambchop's horse friend puppet, (Charli isn't it?) which for some reason, have no idea where it came from or for how long - its just always been there!

My mate has one of those... we washed it a few hundred during a puppet film shoot... after throwing mud at it... it was an icky mess at the end of the day. Poor dirty-kermit.

Much appreciated Andrew! All the best. David.

Another nagging fellow-puppet-builder-starting-out question; who is your UK supplier for your reticulated foam? At the moment I've been using regular upholstery foam from a custom-cut-foam place.

Labrat, what are you backing your spoon eyes with? Is it a layer of a dark material, with the spoon eye pierced through and attached? Or is the eye rimmed/attached with the stuff?

Now that Kermit would be alot better if the moutpiece wasn't so big! Or is it his hand? :-p

My mistake. Not awake. sorry.

Nice puppet Labrat. All your human, live-hand puppets are very popular! Good job ;-)

Nice puppets there matey. Just realised, you are the same chap, who did a version of "Betrayed" from Mel Brook's musical "The Producers" - which can be found on youtube. Any chance you have some of your Avenue Q performances?

ANOTHER superb puppet from Labrat! Excellent work mate! Loving 'em! That chap reminds me of my mortgage advisor...

is it rubber?

Do tell me if this is against forum policies or ebay policy, but how much of a return does ebay receive for your auction listing? I was always curious on what they get out of it. Thanks in advance. All the best.

*Another* puppet Labrat? How fast do you do these things? Or do you do multi-builds at the same time. My turnover is usually one puppet every two weeks - thats IF I even get started! :-p

I am also in the UK and have done endless research for an Antron fleece manufacturer over here and have turned up with nothing. I get it from our lass at GASTAGE - and its superb stuff. Haven't tried out the new antron replacement, I'm still working on using the old stuff! :-p whatadoodle, I...

That could work. Do as Lab-Rat says and sand the edges down OR you could put wire around and turn them into glasses. Looks like a geeky kind of guy.

Another excellent puppet from Lab-rat. Superb workmanship. Lab-rat you have inspired me so much, I will be making puppets to sell as well. Does the price you get them for compensate for the materials you use? Reminds me of a far-distant cousin of Seasme Street's Ernie and Avenue Q's Nicky -...

If it isnt too long - then just spend a little on taking the bus as far as possible one morning perhaps and film as is... if its a double-decker (like we have here in England) then do it on the level up.
