So I don't know exactly what I don't like about the face - eye placement, nose, something. Are the eyes too big? Too "Asian"? I think it's the eyes/pupils but not sure how to fix it. http://puppets.dougblemker.com/images/Puppet_BE_face.JPG Help! Thanks, Doug

Can anyone direct me where I can go to purchase a full bolt of antron? With GA Stage hit or miss with supplies I'd like to just go ahead and invest in a bolt. Any information is appreciated. Doug

Hi, I'm currently working on an antron fleece-based puppet and running into a bit of a conundrum. I'm working on a puppet that sometimes has a beard, sometimes doesn't. Sometimes has a tattoo and sometimes doesn't. Has anyone ever done something where parts can be removable without...

Well, I was pressured to build a puppet for a friend of mine and I'm comfortable with the building but never been much of a performer other than pre-recorded shows. Here's my first try. It was done quickly so I didn't realize the neck and body were twisted prior to starting. Here's the...

Hey all, I just did a puppet for a friend of mine and, although I'm happy with it, something just isn't right. It might just be my own degree of perfection with human-styled puppets, but I'd love your thoughts. Doug http://puppets.dougblemker.com/images/Adam.JPG

Hey everyone, thanks so much for your support from my previous post. I'm between jobs right now and thought I would give more focus to the puppet building/design role and launched a website. I would love to hear your comments. Here's my puppet gallery...

Hey all, I read and absorb but rarely have a chance to post pictures of my puppets. It seems I have tons of heads but few finished puppets. I'm always looking for new techniques to design -- I've been using the "carve a small block then cut a pattern" and just recently tried the wedge method...

Ok, so now that I've switched and purchased yards of antron fleece, I think I have about 20 yards of polar fleece in various colors that I need to get rid of. What do all of you suggest? Ebay? Posting somewhere? other uses? Thanks for your suggestions, I'd love to get some of my investment...

Let me know what you think. I'd love to start doing more and getting more into it. I just ordered Sintra and some Antron Fleece. I had been using foamboard and polar fleece. I'm open to any suggestions, thoughts, ideas, appraisals. Thanks, Doug...

Hey all, Well, I'm getting better at heads, still trying to figure out different shapes, etc. and how to create the most effective eyes, ears, nose, etc... Any suggestions for bodies and arms? I've got a couple ideas from David Pannebaker's videos and some from The Foam Book, but I'd love to...

Hi all, I've been making puppets for a few years on and off and have had good results using One Way Street Patterns, David P video and the Grey Seal methods... I need some help though. Those three are all very different designs and I'm trying to figure out the best way to get the results I want...
