Tony Hill http://www.tonyhill.net/productCat95937.ctlg would be a good source to contact about dying the feathers. They may even have "rejects" they could sell you that were not dyed the proper color for them to sell as advertised, but may be the blue/gray hue you're after. Good luck.

I like the overall look of the character. The color is friendly and the large head-to-smallish-body proportions make the character look young. Blinking eyes are cool, but what are you trying to add to the puppet by making his eyes blink? I think the effect of moveable lids is very good at...

You are quite correct about all of that. My post did have an unpleasant accusatory tone that I did not intend to be so, well, accusatory. My apologies to the original poster of this thread for that. I do hope that now they know there could be an issue with selling this work that they do their...

Yes the puppet replica does look really nice. Congratulations. You are a skilled builder and duplicator. By selling this, you're also doing something that many here want to make light of, but, in the grand sense, there is nothing light about it at all. It is illegal and wrong. But because it is...

I completely agree. And the more that people are educated about the value of protecting the intellectual property of others, perhaps (and hopefully) that will begin to quell the demand for such items. I am passionate about protecting the IP rights of artists. I know what its like to have...

Persistant is an understatement with this unethical, law breaking dude. I do think that he not only "gets" the "hints" posed in well written posts on this forum and others, but that he is using ebay as cheap, worldwide advertising. It's not a stretch to imagine that people in the USA and...

I have not seen the video you describe, but the David Pannebacker videos turned me onto a product called DAP Weldwood contact cement http://www.dap.com/product_details.aspx?product_id=47 It is VERY potent stuff (ie: do not inhale it directly from bottle accidentally) but it works like rubber...
