Here's a question for all you puppet makers out there. How do you make your patterns? Specifically sheet foam patterns. i have made only about three foam head patterns successfully in the three years i have been building puppets and although i know that i have made incredible progress i am still...

That's pretty cool. I like his face

You don't really need a pattern. First draw a sketch of your character. First from the front then a side profile, both with the mouth open. Take the shape of the head put the front shape on one side of your block with a sharpie. Then do the same with the profile on another side. Carve out both...

I love the way the sewn mouth turns out...if its done right obviously. I admit that I sometimes use hot glue as a shortcut...but I'm proud to say that the last puppet I made was completely needle and thread handsewn! Yay

Wow! You never fail to impress, jarrod. I am a big fan of your work. I always loved your puppets and would love to buy one if I could only afford it. Anyways...nice work.

I use those all the time...they are fantastic...I just with they had a bigger variety of colors, I don't like ordering off the Internet when I don't have to

I know this is a year after the post but I heard that the exhibit is closing in a few monrhs

The Henson exhibit was coming Fresno but the museum shut down due to budget cuts like two months before it got here I was so disappointed, I would have loved to see it

Disney has been doing everything the cheaper way recently and it's not like they can't afford to do location shots...I mean it's disney, c'mon but unfortunately cheesy Disney channel sitcoms are their priority.

Im pretty sure the Henson company didn't build these. If you look at the fabric covering them it looks more like a terry cloth than a fleece. And I do feel that at times they were poking fun at puppetry and puppeteers but I still thought it was pretty funny. Especially tony with all his...

It looks great maybe if you moved the eyes just a little closer together...

Wow those are pretty good. The first one kinda reminds me of the fao Schwartz whatnots. :)

That's fantastic, a little polishing and this could easily make it to a children's tv channel. Try pitching it to nickelodeon/nick jr., PBS, etc.. After all the worst thing they could say is no!

I would be more afraid of the foam cracking or chipping or possibly becoming fragile after it thaws.

yes, I can help I will be doing this tomorrow. if you want, email me and I will take pictures of the whole thing and walk you thought the steps of it...it's actually pretty easy. My email is martinanthony18@gmail.com . Please email me as soon as possible so I can know if you want me to do this...

If you are interested in seeing pictures please email me. I cannot post pictures on the forum because I am using my iPad (computer troubles, ugh) anyways I am lowering the prices on some of them because I really just need some more space Thanks

Usually when carving foam, I use a sharpie to outline the front shape of the head and the profile on the other side, and then cut both shapes out with a sharp bread knife, then round the details out with a big pair of scissors that I find myself having to sharpen frequently. I like to cut small...
