Hello all, I've just received and email from the Ontario Puppetry Association. They inform me that they have been in touch with Puppets Up! and they are inviting any of their members to display some of their puppets during the festival. If you are not a member this might be a...

Sorry for not posting sooner. I have been without internet for three weeks. I am so excited about this event that I have decided to put my money where my mouth is and I have become one of the event sponsors. I received an email from some of the event organizers and I have also agreed to...

For people who are interested or available, there is a new puppet festival that will be happening this summer (August 6th and 7th, 2005) outside of Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA in the beautiful town of Almonte. The festival will include many professional puppeteers, builders, etc. In fact one of...

The Eminem puppet is built by Puppet Heap in New York. Great company. I love their work. Right here . It is amazing what people can get away with when a puppet is on your hand. I am glad that someone major in the rap world has used puppets to this extent in a music video. For years I...

Hi Kristen, I think that hot glue can work well if you are careful not to make a mess. There is a glue gun (Aleene's Ultimate Glue Gun ) sold at Michaels that has attachments on the end of it. One of those attachments is a long narrow tube. It makes placing glue where you need it much...

Julio, Have you tried getting in contact with any puppetry clubs in the area? Another option might be to just get volunteers and do a basic training session with them to teach them the basics of puppteering. It is true that puppeteering is a skill that needs to be learned and...

I love the nose on this puppet! Very cute Pauly.

Yep. Just check out these pictures, in all of their "full body costume" glory.

I totally remember this show! In fact the person who built the puppets for the show is named Noreen Young. You can find out more information about her at her website here. She is also responsible for creating the puppets for the show Under the Umbrella Tree.

Hi all, This a little note to let people know about a new interactive DVD that features some amazing puppets is being released very soon! The show is called Slick Silly: Adventures in Truckopolis. You can read more about the show here.

Here is a picture of my current workshop. I am moving in two weeks and the set up will be different. The basement is great for gluing in terms of temperature. I have constructed and ventilation system that works in conjunction with opening windows in the basement. I also use less toxic glues...

Hi gfarwort, I just tried it from a different computer and the link worked. It must be something with my computer. I will try it again from home using Explorer instead of Navigator. Thanks for the help.

Does anyone know what is going on with the Puppeteers of America website? I have tried to access it over the past few days and no luck.

Hey Jarrod, Is the head on this one carved foam or patterned sheet foam?

Kristen, Check out my reply to one of your other posts here. I hope that helps.

Kristen, Forget going to Michaels. They don't have what you are looking for. There are tons of stores on Queen St. near Spandina. There is one store just West of Spadina (on Queen) that sells wedding crafts. It is on the North side of the street. Sorry I don't know the name of...

Hi Kristen, I am curious. What was your "children's television final production"? Fabricland pretty much has some amazing furs. It is just a matter of looking at as many different locations as you can, since they each have their own inventory.

Hi Pauly, Thanks for the compliment and well wishes. And as I said before, keep up the super work!

Hi Pauly, It is great to see you are doing "it". Many people dream, plan, criticise (others' work), but never do anything themselves. You are definately someone who makes things happen. Good for you! I think you did a great job. You have a variety of talents and it is nice to see you...

I think the starting bid is just fine. Remember that auctions are not always about how good someone's puppet is. I have grabbed up an amazing puppet for practically nothing, just because I was really the only one bidding on it. Sometimes you might have an average puppet that many people...
