I don't think it's what you meant, but for the record everyone DO NOT use duct tape to make puppet mouths. Once you start sweating, well, it won't end well.

I posted something that I think you'd all enjoy having via my blog today...the original article from Women's Day in 1969 that contains a pattern for a small anything Muppet and a Jerry Juhl script entitled "The Purple-Necked, Black-Bearded Blatch". I've had the pattern for years, but it was...

Thank you so much, I'd really appreciate that!

Hi everyone, This may sound like an odd request...but I know there are several of you in Texas and I've been trying to find some info. In August I may have to go from either San Antonio or Houston down to Mexico and I wanted to go by bus. Does anyone know where you go to get info about bus...

This, in a word, rocks.

Hi all, For those on the board who are interested (especially those relatively new to puppet construction) I updated my Guide To Puppet Building Resources today. I think just about everything I added to it has already been discussed here, but if you're looking for general puppet building...

Thanks for the info Steve! I'll email you privately about next year Foz.

I will be booking a table as soon as the forms become available, so if anyone wants in on that let me know. I'm sure we could all figure out a way to keep the cost of accommodations down too.

Steve, do you know if they have announced dates for next year's Con? I didn't see anything on their website.

I will be at ComicCon next year, this sounds like a great idea! Incidently, I'm also looking to go halfsies on a booth if you or anyone else you know is seriously interested in that.

Check out this article I wrote last year - http://www.bear-town.com/backstage_pages/puppetbldg_resources_pg1.htm

A couple of things.... 1. Don't glue the fleece, sew it. I find that it's best to hand sew it. 2. What you have to do with the fleece is pattern it so that it covers the head properly, a process in dressmaking called draping. It's a little tricky to do and takes some practice. Try googling...

They've had these for awhile...they were at the SXSWi Conference and did a whole panel with the Homestar puppet. I've posted links to more HR puppet videos at http://puppetvision.blogspot.com/2005/04/homestar-runner-sxswi.html

Mike Peterson - a puppeteer on Fraggle Rock and Labryinth among other things - has a show in this year's Toronto Fringe Festival called "Don't Get Me Started". From what I have been reading it seems to be the story of his life and features a Fraggle puppet made by Terry Angus. I've posted...

This is such a horrible, barbaric attack. I hope all the MCers in London (I know there are at least a few of you) and their families are all safe and sound. For those interested, Boing Boing has good collection of links to photos and blog coverage -...

From the Balcony: Episode Two Just an FYI everyone, there is a new episode of "From The Balcony" available at movies.com - http://movies.go.com/moviesdynamic/muppets/ Rowlf turns up briefly in this one.

There are lots of old threads dealing with making a Gonzo. Use the search feature to search the puppetry forum for "Gonzo" or "Gonzo puppet".

Here's a link to a terriffic free online sewing book - http://craftandfabriclinks.com/sewingbook/sewbook.html I know questions about sewing often come up here, and I suspect many people on the board (myself included) have never been taught how to sew properly and taught themselves on a...
