yes foam no foam? please respond knowledgable ones.

Ok. Horizontal Boning....so I still use foam though right? It's not just boning sewn to the inside of the fur fabric right?

Wait. Does this boning run vertical up the body or in horizontal rings?

I was thinking mostly about protecting the exact patterns. I don't think I have seen a lot of pattern exchanging hands on this website. Especially since I modified (greatly) a project puppet pattern. Sharing technique is one thing...tips sure. But publishing patterns is a little "if"y. :o

Ernie body really?

BTW...does Fozzie have a loose fabric body...or do you think there is a foam structure under there!?

Thanks guys! MuppetFan123, it wasn't that hard of a puppet to make really. I just applied what I have learned from this website...and from the project puppet patterns...and VOILA! I used large white serving spoons that I found at Smart and Final. I bought some Antron fleece for the lids and...

I finished the head of my Fozzie replica this week. (still have to glue the black throat fabric in.) Things I learned from this process: Its easy to misjudge the scale of your first muppet! :) He is too big. :) How to create your own pattern. The importance of recognizing a drop jaw mouth plate...

Holy Crap. This is the best ever. I love how you really dive in there...sometimes I try to over-formalize every step! I have got to loosen up!

Here is my review: Puppets 8/10 (10 being perfect, so 8 is a great score) Voices 2/10 (it may be the audio quality, but your voice sounds the same throughout the first three characters, I think you need to add some voice inflection and alter the pitch of your voice a tad more.) You need to be...

No stitches on the side of the head...just the one down the middle.

Hi guys, with the help of this useful forum, I have completed my first muppet's head and body! All he needs now is arms and hands! If you have any tips please let me know! Here is a pic of what I have so far!

I somebody looks at those pics and sees an authentic Henson Quality Muppet, then they deserve to get ripped off. Just sayin...

Come on guys. Am I the only one that can spot a fake Muppet a mile away? This looks nothing like the real Miss Piggy...

I took the time to improve the much-passed-around exploded MR Kermit image. The problem with the image was the fact that the camera did not shoot directly at the pieces of fabric. It shot at a much lower angle...so I inverted the camera angle by skewing the entire corkboard until it made a...

That's exactly what I needed to know, thanks! 15 seconds? I did a test piece last night for 1:15 seconds and it came out great....I wonder how much difference it makes....or if the majority of the "effect" happens in the first 15-30 seconds...:hungry:

Hi guys, Newbie here. :concern: I am following a project puppet pattern, and following TheCreatureWorks valuable video tutorial! I bought some great looking Mongolian fur from The Fabric District in downtown LA. Great prices $12 a yard! Here is my question, Do i cut the pattern before I boil...
