Here's my latest. It's based on a drawing by my client, Frog Puppeteer right here on the forums! He's made of anti-pill fleece and adapted from the Project Puppet Simple Series Roly Pattern. I made a foam shell for the body to help support the tail. His eyes are plastic baseball "Easter Eggs"...
I can usually figure out how stuff was done, and this type or performance is way different than your usual puppet stuff, so CGI and post production could be the answer…
I was sent this clip and instantly loved the puppet. I guess I've lived under a rock as this is the first time I'd heard...
Well, he didn't help me get an audition, but he was fun to make. Here's my hand and rod puppet made to resemble Survivor's host Jeff Probst up for auction:
Jeff Probst Puppet
He's be great for any Survivor parody puppet shows! Happy bidding.
My first attempt at a "how-to" video. I devised a technique for building posable puppet hands. This demo shows how to do it for a Project Puppet Simple Series pattern, but it will work with most any hand type you'd want to build. Hope this helps some folks out!
How to Build a Posable Hand
Okay builders - get to Walmart quick! Easter is a grand time to collect puppet eyes with all the plastic eggs available. I found these "baseball eggs" - perfectly round, perfectly halved and no impressions. The red stitches come off super clean with a swipe of acetone (finger nail polish...
I just finished a puppet as a donation to TAO (Tidewater Arts outreach) Instruments of Art project. Each piece had to revolve around a musical instrument. They will be auctioned off to benefit TOA Singer/Songwriter festival.
My puppet is based on Project Puppets Rotundo pattern (Forma...
I just finished a puppet as a donation to TAO (Tidewater Arts outreach) Instruments of Art project. The 2nd Season entries aren't up yet, but I thought I'd share mine with you all.

An acquaintance made this video for a contest. He said he purchased the puppet in NY (maybe from one of our members?). I hope to work with him soon on a puppet-building workshop.
Röyksopp "The Alcoholic" A Puppet's Tale
Hey folks, some of you may have seen this little puppet in the last Project Puppet Super Hero contest. I would like him to go to a nice home where he can be cared for and played with, I think he'd be fun for a show - I just like to build them, not perform with them, so he's barely used. Nothing...
Wow, what an awesome costume. Any guesses how it all worked? I see both arms and paws working, but not at the same time. Maybe the operator switched off hands between mouth and paws? Two operators?

Three puppets I built are being used in a kids show produced by Yay Now Productions. The show is aimed at 3-7 year-olds and looks like a lot of fun. I did the red monster with green horns and purple hair (my avatar, also the top picture on the ABOUT US page and in the first video clip), Gracie...
I love Project Puppet patterns - I have the Glorified Sock Puppet and the Roly... Now I am thinking of stepping up to the Forma series. Considering the Trio set with all the goodies, since the sale is so darn good! Just wondering - how many have used the Forma plans and which one do you like the...
I've had this guy a while. Very well built by Pierre at Monster Puppets. I love the puppet, but he needs to be starring in a production somewhere. Thought someone here might be able to offer him a stage...
I'm interested in building myself a Beaker and was wondering if anyone else has made one or something similar. This is just for me - he's always been one of my favorites.
Jut curious if anyone has suggestions or tips...
I made it into the top ten for the Project Puppet contest! WOW, the competition is fierce - there are some very cool puppets there.
Mine is Blasfo Torgen (with the space helmet on).
