I won. :)

This is crazy! I'm now 1 vote ahead! It really is a race to the finish! Thank you so much guys! It makes me all kinds of happy.

Just 2 hours left to vote! Pretty please! :) I'm only like 4 votes away from first place!

holy cow, guys! I seriously had no idea this was possible, but I seem to be 10 votes away from 1st place. Carazy! Granted, there's a whole week of voting left, so it's still anyone's game. But being this close to first place is pretty rad, even if it's just for a little while.

The slug family *is* tough competition if you take Aardman studios out of the equation. (ohhh snap! I got that slug family!)

So someone nominated one of my finger puppets in the "Handmade Olympics" & it made it to the finals... Now it's up to me to find as many people as I can to vote for it (this is how they get you.) I figure since it's the handmade olympics, it's OK if I use steroids. Sooo, yeah. if you...

when I put glasses on puppets I sew the two sticky-things (technical term) on at the back near where the ears are/ought to be & then I sew the bridge down to the nose. That way I can always remove them & I'm not dealing with potentially unsightly hot glue. doing the 3 points should keep it in...

Buck, it is! And your avatar hasn't aged a bit!

You should always let free cake rule your decision-making. Always. Unfortunately I don't have any shows for children, so I don't do birthday parties.

There are some puppet eyes on Etsy that make me happy. I will post a link for you. Because I care. http://buildingpuppets.etsy.com

My point was that my friend makes caricatures of celebrities for less than $75 (usually $14) & you could probably ask her. Sometimes finger puppets are a good substitute in a show when you don't have time to build/obtain a larger version. And it's also a pretty funny gag. I don't think it was...

I can't, but my friend makes a pretty mean Harrison Ford for only $14.00.... http://www.etsy.com/listing/48649963/indiana-jones-felt-finger-puppet

my only issue with puppet mart is that they use the wrong form of you're/your ;)

Is it sad that I have 3 yards of antron in my fabric box that I've never cut into? I adore the figurenschneider puppets. Multiple textures, shading, complex shapes. mmm delicious.

Ahhh I LOVE IT! I just got back from the phoenix comicon. A few people dressed up as muppets (the count & super grover) but none so freaking awesome as this. (Although super grover was lovely in its simplicity) Well done! er... Well doing!

From my understanding (which is quite limited) if you create something at work while being paid by your employer they own the legal rights to whatever it is you created. When I worked at Disney they warned us not to doodle at work. That could have been a fun little scare-tactic to play with...

there's some sort of joke to be had in here about using a pillowcase & some good old fashioned aggitation in a washing machine...

The Bil Baird Marionettes in Sound of Music entranced me every time. I also feel like maybe I'm the only person that couldn't stand Puzzle Place.

I can't afford one & could probably build one for myself. In 8 years of making puppets I haven't, & I won't. Wheee! :)

First you make 27 puppets that look like mongoloids & then you get it somewhat close to right. at least that's how I went about it.
