    Elmo's fur

    Hey, I can tell you from experience that fur will be too dark, I frequently buy from Fabric Empire and have 2 yards of that very fur. They do have a long pile red fur that's pretty good, you can also try Distinctive Fabric, they have a "Fire Red" that I have used as well. Elmo's eyes are...

    Puppeteer's Resources Links

    I use hot glue for everything, never heard that before? I have also heard contact cement will turn brittle after time and loose it's seal, but then again I don't think it matters one way or the other as everything crumbles in time. Rowlf eyes, you may have to improvise, but for Kermit's try...

    Dying Fleece Issues!

    I have used both Polar Fleece and Antron on my puppets, I love the colors available in Polar, but I can't say I agree it hides seems better than even the new Antron.... Nor do I think it has the same stretch to it? Thanks
