Hey Gordon, I'll reveal a wonderful secret. Etsy.com is a great place to find hand-spun yarns! I also get a lot of raw hand-dyed wool and mohair from them, too. Just do a search on yarn. You can usually request custom colors, too. Avoiding Michael's, -stacey

Remember back in the day...the day being 1984, when people saw something in the movie theaters and, if they wanted to see it again they had to wait for a magical thing called "being aired on television?" We've forgotten patience. That makes me sad. We think that our lack of patience gives us...

That looks AMAZING! Well done!

Every time we go out to eat we talk about entering this thing... Well done!

I got to take his foaman workshop in MN. It was lovely. He's SO kind!

Thank you guys! If I create a giant void, I'm entering THAT into once upon a puppet.

ok I'm sitting at the theater with the catalogue in my lap. Its www.musiciansfriend.com Its a Passport Deluxe PD-150 Portable PA system The bad part is that its 500 dollars.

Telex makes the best wireless mics EVER. Really. But they're about $750 each. Boo that. I've worked with both corded mics and wireless and I have to say I *HATED* every performance in which I was attatched to something. You just don't have the freedom to manipulate your puppets as you should...

Gosh, I know this is off-topic to the original post, but its keeping the thread alive, right? Right? Ok, so I've finished the base puppet, but I did wonder as I was making it, if I were to make it again (and I'm sure I will), can I expect the seams/puppet to change a whole lot if I forego the...

Still, cilantro is nice ;) And thank you for the whipstitch info! I ended up purchasing a 1980 Edition of the Reader's Digest Encyclopedia of sewing for 99 cents + shipping on amazon. Yes, I'm a big spender! Gordon, did you SEE my puppet from John Kennedy's workshop? Oh I'll bring it! I'll...

Oh I'll use my skillz! But I'm just saying...if you're in it I can just count on a good romp! This will be my introduction to following a pattern to make a puppet! Yikes. I bought the glorified sock just a few moments ago. WHEEE! Quick Edit: So I just downloaded and read the instructions...

I can't help but think that anything frogtown puts their hands on is an exceptional festival! I wish I could be there! Also, I stole Nappy's bear. Note to self: Get a passport.

Oh man, if Gordon's in, I know I don't have a chance!

One more reason to kick myself for *not* using my coupon at the Puppet Rampage to get the glorified sock puppet pattern! Sounds like a lot of fun!

Jarrod, Absolutely outstanding work. More than your muppet replicas, I love your original work! Its absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

I swear I've responded to this thread and that MC doesn't like me. But i'll try again. I'm a persistent girl. I took pictures! http://flickr.com/photos/staceyrebecca I have tons of pictures of Gordon's studio that I can post if you'd like. I was like a kid in a..um..miniatures SFX...

Gordon is amazing. So is Andrew. So is Ken. I didn't get to meet Chase. Booo. I'm sure you're every bit as wonderful as I've heard.

A few years ago we made some absolutely horrid Audrey II puppets for around 300 dollars. I'm very ashamed of them, but they worked...It can be done. They might look absolutely terrible, but it can be done. If the show is in January, I'd start building now. You never know what you could get...
