Hey gang, As part of my build up to the second season of dotBoom, I redid the site from head to toe. I think the design is pretty snappy, but also the functionality is a little nutty; you should check it out! It's in a pseudo-beta right now, at: http://new.dotboom.ca/ There's a fun section...

Cute puppet! I really dig the way the hair is sitting.

I'm hoping to make it out to Puppets Up this year. Would be lots of fun.

Great job on the gorilla!

It's the way the fur around his eyes are laid out, for the most part. I think they're also *slightly* off, too. And thanks. :)

Jason's got a brand-new head! http://www.flickr.com/photos/inelegant/sets/72157612009317514/ When I get more foam, he'll get a new body. I'm thinking he'll get a full body, too.

The thing? Yeah, that's not something I was imagining would happen. When I picked the fabric, I did so because of the Fozzie Bear aesthetic. I'm digging how he looks, though, and he makes another fabric that I have work as Jason's fur in a way I hadn't anticipated; it makes it look like Dan is...

Thanks! That would be Mojo in the background. He's here: http://flickr.com/photos/inelegant/sets/72157611789061166/ He is, I think, the finest thing I've yet built.

Posting a lot, I know, but hey: I'm building a lot. :) This is a completed Dan 2.0: http://www.flickr.com/photos/inelegant/sets/72157611954650833/ What do you think?

I'd love to; your puppets have a great visual style!

Are there not many puppetry schools? I've not done any searching for them before.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/inelegant/sets/72157611954650833/ Check it out, Dan from dotBoom (Jason's Dad) is in progress. I've got the head done, the arms are halfway done, and I'm thinking that tonight I'll get the next and body done. Not sure how long the clothing will take me, though (this...

Welcome aboard, Chris!

I try to be encouraged by things like that; look at the response this or that thing got, how well received it was, how technically or creatively excellent it was, and I want to exceed it. If you can look at those as high-water marks that you yourself can aim for, rather than things that are too...

Thanks! I'm thinking of putting the pattern online in one form or another, once it's all done and built. Not sure, but I'm debating it.

Thanks very much re the eyes and the stubble! The eyes are from a tip Phillip Hatter gave me, and the stubble I tried because I thought it would work, but wasn't sure. It was a test (actually I did it first on Mojo 2.0 which happens to work well. The thread hangs when long, but when cut short...

It's not the sleep that suffers (much), it's the social life. :)

Man, that's a nice puppet. Such great work.

That's a very good point, I hadn't thought of that.

Building Puppets? Hey all, I was curious to know if when you're building puppets, you make patterns as you go. Initially I'd sort of hack it together (when I wasn't using an existing pattern), but lately I've found myself making structured patterns for the puppet, sometimes intentionally to...
