swwwwweeeeet. And your gay puppet is just cute as a boy-band member, isn't he? -G

No problem! have fun!!! :) -G

One really good place to find materials cheaply is at your local thrift store. They sell LOTS of material... in the form of clothing... for really cheap! A fleece bathrobe can supply you with enough material for two or more puppets! -Gordon

The problems you are encountering may have to to with the thickness and the "squish-ability" of the foam versus your cardboard pattern. Remember: you're cutting the pattern out of foam that is probably 1/2 inch thick. That means your pieces will be squished smaller towards the inside of the...

Oooooooh. That was unexpected.... ;) LOL! -Gordon

Oh yeah... if you're looking for really good rubber sheet to use as mouth plates, go to your local hardware store... NOT a big chain store. They will sometimes have TOILET GASKET RUBBER on large rolls. Its the perfect thickness, comes a foot wide by xfeet, and at MY local store it's 99cents a...

Probably not at the outset. With Jim in charge, the Muppets would have been a spectacular cash cow for the Disney Company. But it took several months for the official word to comedown that the deal had been scuttled. And who can blame Eisner? When the very heart of what you are buying is...

That was what the original deal with Disney was all about back in 1990. Jim wanted them to take over the money matters so he could concentrate solely on being creative head. He'd no longer have to worry about distribution and marketing and such. He could just create. Then he passed away...

I've aid it before and I'll say it again... Disney is trying to quantify the Muppets and force them to become a "formula". It cannot be done. You cannot formulate "silly". Its like trying to put 100 kilos of mercury into a 24 carat muffin tin. The Muppets were a hot potato for a while, but...

Robin the Crow... Cool avatar! All hail Rassilon!!! -Gordon

I usually suggest that people look through their local Yellow Pages to find suppliers and forego the chain stores. The mark-up on furniture foam at most fabric stores is RIDICULOUS! Of course, you can't avoid shopping JoAnn or Hancock Fabrics for certain stuff, but I try to find back-alley...

You're right... ****** off old crazy guys are hilarious... no matter what venue they're in. Funny stuff guys! -Gordon

BorkBork, Thank you for the compliment! :) Growing up in the 1970's, I (like many other kids) was really into the Muppets. I started to impersonate Kermit and Rowlf by singing along with the Muppet Movie soundtrack. Picking them up in song actually helped me learn their range. After that...
