    Heat Shrink Tubing

    Bing indeed. I'm wondering then, Mr Plasti-dip, how long does it take to dry? I've actually been seeing the heat-shrink "around" for awhile & liked shrinky dinks as a child..so I thought that would be my best option.

    How Much Time Do You Give Yourself?

    Wow, Roxie! Thanks! Peoria? So close! Have you been to the Great AZ Puppet theater? Oh also, we just filmed the show we did for a small film festival, so I should have at least something age inappropriate up soon. I'll post a link here a little later. (later today? later this week? I like to...

    Heat Shrink Tubing

    I was at the hardware store (good ole Home Depot, not a tiny place..) & went a-looking for heat-shrink tubing to heat and shrink over arm rods & whatever else gets in my way. They had a small variety package of different diameters, but they were no more than 3" long apiece. I asked the guy with...

    Human Proportioned Puppet

    For scaling down clothing, oh gosh, I used to know this...if the pattern is small enough you can run it through a copy machine with reduce by X% I'll ask my mom for the old fashioned way. I think if you just trace the inside (grab an A frame sort of tool with a pen on one side & nothing on the...

    Million puppet project

    having your students participate is an awesome idea! I wonder if my class would be interested in making puppets they don't keep. First thing I hear when we start construction of any puppet "will we be able to take this home? When?"

    What do you do with your puppets?

    See? there it goes..."HEY YOU HAVE AN EMAIL!" *sigh* Its stuff that I do all over the place under one large umbrella of puppetry that allows me to pay for gas, a month or two of our mortgage, or ice cream and a lactaid. Shows: It really depends on the venue & the turn-out. Working at the...

    What do you do with your puppets?

    (cowers just a little) I get notices in my email...I'm sorry, it lets me know every time there's a message...*hides* The puppet theater at which I work holds semi-regular puppet slams. I perform in those. They're at the theater and they're for grown-ups over 21. We get a liquor license for the...

    How Much Time Do You Give Yourself?

    Hey GUys, I finally took pictures of the last three puppets. Here's a link to the photo set http://www.flickr.com/photos/staceyrebecca/sets/72157603690820121/ There are a lot of things that I would have done differently if I had more time...not use a green bobbin, for instance. So this week...

    What do you do with your puppets?

    I started making puppets because we needed them for shows. Then I got ideas and wanted to see them in puppet form. Then an art gallery asked me to make some for them (seriously, to this day I have no idea why!). Then a friend told me that I should start selling them online. All of that funds my...

    That's how I assume it's done anyway. I'm not certain that's how the muppets do it.
