Hey thanks for the link Count. It was good to hear the interview.

I'll be there Marky! And I plan to write about it on Puppet Buzz. Are you going to any of the workshops?

No worries at all. I am happy to help. Yah, I have a bunch of it that I am holding on to dearly. I love the stuff too. The next puppet is a cool hip hop chimp. I will document the build and post pictures as usual. Thanks bezalel. I think the design was great! Oh and thanks for the...

A great big thank you to Tztz, CraftyDen, mrhogg and maniacal muppet for the kind words. I really do appreciate it. Hey DevonMiles thanks for the kind post. To answer your questions, I used antron fleece for the grey areas (it is the original antron that I used, not the new stuff; I have a...

Perfect!

Hey papapuppet, Thanks. I don't have any video on the brow mech, but you will be seeing lots once I start shooting video with Big Mane in it. I actually didn't document how I made the mech. But as I have stated in my blog, I used the very same illustration that is here in the forum. It...

Hey all, I just wanted to let those of you who are interested in knowing, that I am slowly but surely working on puppets for Chimp TV. You can see my latest addition on my blog. His name is BIG MANE. Enjoy!

Ah yes, I just followed the link to the other puppet. I think that gold3nrul3 is correct on this one. Ernie is a charcater that I see many people inadvertantly come very close to in design. However with the Frog puppet it is obviously too close to Kermit to be an original design. I would...

Hey papapuppet, I know that I am tired when I read your post and thought "Oh my goodness! This person is raising a little MONKEY!" After viewing your puppet I corrected myself and I see that you are trying to raise a little MONEY, which is much easier to...

It's funny you said that because my first reaction was that this was not actually old footage. I am still not convinced. But I think the pig costume is super cool.

I would make a sheet foam skull and heavily drap it with fur. I think the key is in the details. Carved foam nose and horns. It would be a great puppet to build. Best of luck.

That could work. But it may limit your uses. I've always just held the cable control inside my palm (closest to my thumb) along with the handle of the arm rod. That way I am not limited to the person controlling the arm rod being the only one who can control the mech. Also, for...

I think this is a great discussion. Here is my two cents. When I first started getting into the puppetry scene, I joined two puppetry organizations. One was local and the other was in the US. The US organization I joined becase it had experts that I could contact and a video database...

Hey Sean, If I was closer I would have loved to audition. Too bad.:cry:

Hey CraftyDen, I love the design of this puppet. The expressions are fantastic! It looks as if he is annoyed (eyes open) and then disinterested (eyes shut). It is a real pleasure watching you delevop as a puppet builder. Keep up the great work.

Cool! By the way, how did you find out about the Star Wars interview? Do you have a copy of the magazine? A few people I know said they bought copies but I don't know anyone else who has seen the article in the magazine outside of those few. Just curious.

Hey Marky, Thanks for the plug. I was very happy with the article. If anyone wants to see a copy it is on newstand now. And yes I plan on being at the Puppets Up! festival this year as well.

Hey SesameStMuppets, Here are some thoughts: Sure, folding the edges over couldn't hurt. Honestly, I believe "Whatever works well, do it". You could do what you just said, you could also cover it with duct tape, as you mentioned before. The point is, if the padding came off, you don't want...

Hey spcglider, That is very good news. A big congratulations on that. I know someone who applied to be on the show and from what I have seen it will be a pretty big deal. Great exposure!

The reality is that any power tool (or sharp tool for that matter) needs to be used with an understanting of safety before hand. I personally would go as far as saying "DO NOT use a power tool." but your point of safty is one that goes without saying. SesameStMuppets, when I say power tool...
