Hey all, My brother goes to Cal State Northridge and at Thanksgiving I was talking to him about this puppet I'm making for my girlfriend (see MY PUPET EXPERIMENT thread for details). He mentioned that at Cal State Northridge they have a whole course on Puppetry. He was even sure you could...

Foz... Thanks for the eye tip. I really just put those on as a test. The pupils are REALLY uneven and painted poorly, so work will have to be done on them. I shall try your placement then pain tip. My problem is I'm having trouble getting the circles even. We'll see what happens today...

More Pics Work is progressing. It's taking a little longer than I would have like, but if I can get it all wrapped up by Monday night, I'll be golden. The fur on the front ogf the head has been added. Nose has been glued on. Tomorrow, Back of head and neck covered with fur and ears and...

Thanks and Ooops Thanks for the comments Foz. I realized I copied the same picture twice up there, so here's the other picture: Murph Puppet Side Of Head Thanks! Grant

I'm making a puppet of my Girlfriend's Dog to give to her (my girlfriend, not the dog) for Christmas. I just basically completed the head last night (still some work to do in the eyebrow area, but it's close). I now humbly submit the pictures here to you for your pleasure! Rock On...

Tom- What kind of foam can you use in a belt sander? Wouldn't regular Poly Foam snag? Or am wrong and you didn't make them out of Poly Foam? Grant

i will probably go with half a ping pong ball. I also have two small craft eyes, but I think thay look too small. I'm not sure. Here's another question....I got some LONG fur for my dog puppet (I'm making a Pomeranian) and can that long 1 1/2" - 2" fur be trimmed nicely? This dog I'm...

All these pages are great. Tanks for posting them. It's giving me a lot of ideas on how to go about my puppet. Tom, it's also nice to see a fellow Mac user. Okay, so, eyes. You guys put the eyes directly over the fur? Or do you attatch the fur around the eyes and attatch the eyes to the...

Matt- These look great! My friend and I worked on a show for awhile which involved puppets too. The site we set up for it, which is way old by now, is at: www.dr.flowyd.com It was a mix of live actors and pppets. Sadly, only two episodes were made before we ran out of money for...

So....the Foam Book came today. Very informative. I want to order some Sculpt & Coat but I'm wondering...what is it exactly? Is there a generice name for it that I could find something similar at a craft store here and save the shipping time? Thanks Grant

Yeas ago I went on an audtition at a puppet shop. They were looking for a crew to take on a cruise ship. They had me work with various puppets, a few were the McDonaldland puppets. I don't know the name of the company, but it was the same folks who made the Snuggle Bear because he was there...

Hey! THis is great. Great job. I'm currently working on my first. I'll post pictures soon. Question....would you then stuff the head with cotton stuffing or sommething? I ordered the Foam Book and it's en route, but I have th head carved and the fur all set. Just want to read some...

I noticed how Pepe and Apple Switch Ad Mega Star Ellen Feiss dress a little alike. So I made this. The 'accent' isn't the best, but I was going off the 30 secs of Pepe Dialogue I have here. Anyway, enjoy! http://www.throwingtoasters.com/pepe.jpg Rock On. Grant

Thanks for the reply! I found some of the stuff I need. Now i just have to find the right kind of dye to match her dog's color. I went to Micheals and they didn't have a lot of the stuff I needed, but I think that's just because most of the store is dedicated to Christmas right now. I'm...

Tonight i had to buy some foam to plug up a dryer vent, but I started fooling around with the rest to make a puppet of my girlfriends dog. So anyway, I have some questions....... 1. Dyeing. What kind of Dye is used to dye the foam? Just regular RIT dye? Or is there a special kind? 2...
