That may not be the look that Mr. Hogg is hoping for. Since antron is naturally fuzzy it may be hard to read on the puppet as stubble. But I like how you are thinking outside of the box. ;) These are all great ideas. I like the airbrush or dry brush methods myself. A darker colour will...

As a teacher and a puppet person myself, I can say that it would be important to get feedback from the educators in your area. Become familiar with the needs and curriculum of the school boards/libraries in your area. Then, as Stacey Rebecca said, write your own. I am more likely to ask a...

There are tons of real looking dolls on ebay. I think that is all you really need for what you are talking about. Here's one.

You can actually see the pattern right there in the picture. Look at the vertical lines. You can see that they are wedges that go around the costume. Just try playing with the exact shapes and number of wedges. More wedges usually means a smoother shape.

Great puppet! Super job. I really like your use of tone. Keep up the great work.

Okay, Here you go. A quick video that shows how it moves. http://chensational.blogspot.com/2007/12/pirate-mask-video.html Feedback is always welcome.

Thanks everyone! I don't have the technology (or know how) to upload good video, but I think I can take video with my digital photo camera. The quality is very low, but I will see what I can do.

Hey all, I've just posted a tutorial on my blog about making a puppet mask with cable controlled mech mouth and eyes. http://chensational.blogspot.com/2007/11/making-mechanical-puppet-mask.html - Kanja

...and for people who don't have a Facebook account you can see it here. It is a cute dog puppet. http://www.projectpuppet.com/puppet_gallery/dog_puppet_2.htm

Hi RockerRob, I think the show idea was very good as well. I love the voice of the little girl in the dentist office. Yes, it was a funny show name. The puppets were built by Matt Ficner (who has worked for Henson in the past). one of the puppeteer is Marty Stelnick who is a...

Hi gang, I have put up another old puppet of mine on ebay. I will have several up over the next little while leading up to Christmas. http://chensational.blogspot.com/2007/11/another-puppet-for-sale.html - Kanja

Hey Brian, Check out Crow Police made by the guys over at Puppet Greetings. *Warning the clip cointains foul language. P.S. JD I've tried to check out your blog but the link doesn't seem to work for me.

Hey All, Andrew posted about a tv show pilot that I was in years ago (in fact it was my first paid puppeteering gig ever). You can read the post here or you can quickly watch the video here. Enjoy!

I was going to say the exact same thing. Unless someone else is paying for it I would not personally build such a large puppet with fur from National Fiber. Their fabrics are great (amazing 4 way stretch), but the prices are steep. I too wish you the best TommyTheMad and I would love to see...

I am very skeptical about this one. It definately does not look like a Muppet puppet and the description sounds like it is written by someone who has no idea about the Muppets. I mean I could be totally wrong here, but that is my gut feeling.

Thanks staceyrebecca, Although I reread what I had posted and see all of my typos. Oh well. I am glad that I didn't come off as sounding too discouraging.

Yes indeed there are many on these forums who have a Muppet inspired style and who have built similar puppets, but I think you will have difficulty finding people who will actually make them for you (as per copyright discussions). But many on these boards have individuals with the experience...

Lesson learned. I will be better about choosing my links. The puppets didn't all sell. Although, Ebay is proving to be very interesting indeed since I have had interest in the puppets after the auctions have ended without being bid on. However, my workshop in getting better by the week.

Hey bezalel, The link is intentional. I did it because it shows all the puppets at once. But any feedback is welcome, since I am new to selling puppets on Ebay. Should I have had a link right to ebay? That might have made more sense.

I took the reserve off of a few of the puppets, so any last second bidders will get it without much of a problem.
