    Passing the Torch? Or warping young minds?

    Christian Puppetry

    LOL...I know isn't that great? I try to make more adult humor, but gear it towards the kids as well...everybody always loves the performances. I get crazy sometimes and you never know what I will say (with the puppets)...LOL!

    Christian Puppetry

    Christian Puppetry

    Not sure how i found this particular thread, but here are my thoughts....I am a Christian...and I am a puppeteer. YES I have seen some BAD church puppetry...REALLY BAD. But I think there are those of us who want to change that. Myself...I would LOVE to be considered the Christian Jim Henson. I...

    The line between puppetry and ventriloquism

    I think it was interesting...Jim never claimed to be a ventriloquist, and he even made those comments in public. I too get asked that question too...OH LIKE JEFF DUNHAM? i hate that response...but I quickly defer to NO...like Jim Henson...and the Muppets. I loved the fact that Jim even went on...

    Nutty Puppets

    The puppets are great! The price went up....he was struggling and had to raise his prices, but the quality is very good. The mouth pieces are a little stiff at first and a little hard to move, but if you ask him to soften the mouth plate he will. Mike is a great puppet maker and I LOVE all the...

    Share Your Whatnot Pics Here!

    Cool puppet....maybe it's me though...all of the whatnots i have seen seem like they are so poor quality....Muppets and whatnots are supposed to be fleece and good quality...what are they made of...and are they heavy to operate? or are they lightweight?
