Thanks for all the help guys. I am also looking into making a removable arm rod, perhaps with a bike spoke and cap. My newest Puppet should be done in a couple of days. I will post the pics when he is done. __________________ Director Davies ripplesministry.org

I was wondering what you guys found that works best for the wire in the puppet rods? I have tried several gauges and types of wire but have been less than thrilled with the results. ____________ Director Davies Ripplesministry.org

I bought a kit from them recently and spoke with them on the phone (good people.) He also has other things avail (eyes) that are not listed on the site if you need them. Call - they are very good about answering any questions you may have. I have linked to them from my website...

I haven't heard it mentioned yet but Super Sculpy is a great material to use for noses, eyes and teeth. I can be sanded, painted and is pretty durable. It also comes in colors and you can even embed a bolt for screw-on accessories. I bakes in the oven and home and is very easy to work. It is...

You can contact the guys at armslength.com - he will sell you the large ones for 2.50 a pair (US $) Hope this helps ______________________ Director Davies Ripplesministry.org

Thanks guys for the kind words. It was fun making the character regardless and I know he will be a wonderful addition to our troupe. Also, I am working on comic strip to introduce him to our kids. I will post once it (and the contest) are finished. And yes, I do experiment with materials - you...

What a wonderful cast of characters. We have done our own S.O.C.K. (seeking out Christ's kingdom) characters for my puppet ministry and it has been a blast. Best of luck to you and your endeavors. ________________________ Director Davies ripplesministry.org

I was a little dissappointed that you extended the deadline. With the holiday weekend, I did not find out until today. But, more importantly would have waited for the puppet fleece to make the puppet if the deadline had been the 4th all along. But I understand your desire to accomodate...

Hey Jinx, Would it be possible to get a sheet of 3/8"? I am finding it hard to order. :) Director Davies

Puppetise, Price will come with reputaition, practice and experience. However, be careful not to sell yourself short. If you are not getting enough to at least cover your materials while you are growing as a builder, make sure to have a reserve on your auction ao you don't end up losing money...

I would recommend putting together kit builds where you can control the cost of your supplies. You might want to make several different ones depending on your audience. Be sure to bring a small portable screen so they can play with their new puppets. Keep in mind time constraints (kids bore...

I just finished a "Glorified Sock" puppet pattern and I substituted 3/8" piece of neoprene for the mouth plate. OMG! this stuff is wonderful. One side has a grip (turned towards the hand). And the other was bonded to the material. The mouth is very expressive and easy to manipulate. I got my...

I like using PVC pipe - the wonder-material. You can buil an inexpensive rack that can be broken down. Also you can configure it for your area and the number of puppets you are using. I prefer the upright storage method as your puppets are less likely to be damaged. _____________ Director...

There are some here http://www.puppetjungle.com/bigame.htm Hope this helps ________________ Director Davies ripplesministry.org

Yeah, I might enter one of them - he was not finished in the pics though. If that makes a difference.

Blink, Finished the web page for our SOCK puppet workshop. Hope you enjoy the pics. I almost didn't put me in it - it was so hot and I was sweating like Miss Piggy lol. But it was unavoidable. Let me know if you have any questions...

General rule of thumb is that you want your puppet focused about 16-18 inches in front of face. This will give the puppet a "slightly" cross-eyed look but keeps them from looking like their staring off into space. Otherwise it is a matter of taste. I did Captain Quirk with eyes that could be...

Then be careful not to use too much. The larger the wig, the more it will want to lean one way or the other. You could try hot-gluing it to some stiff fabric first and then attaching it to your sock, but that might interfere with performance. the best way to attack would be to sew on in a spiral...

Hey guys I am not sure if I can do this here. Please forgive me if I can't. But we are selling off all of my original lithographs on e-bay to raise money for my puppet troupe to buy us a trailer. I will not be using any of this money myself - it's for the troupe. If you can help by getting a...
