I did a "how to" video series on the Roly Puppet Pattern- it may help you out in your first puppet. http://puppeteersunite.com/?page_id=588 You'll have to scroll down to get to the first video and work your way up to the last vid (13) Looks like an amazing build and contact me if you hit...

I'm Canadian- Toronto area. Unfortunately there aren't any. Closer to Halloween Fabricland usually get good furs but other than that it is all Mendels for me. Something I sometimes do is purchase fur rugs from Walmart- they come in Pink, Yellow, Green, Turquoise, Brown, Black, White, Purple and...

Just received this email!... Simple Series Supply Kits! Have you ever thought, "You know, it would be great if I could just buy a kit that had everything in it to build a basic Simple Series puppet."? We couldn't agree more. That's why Project Puppet is now offering the new Simple Series...

Use Push pins to position the eye- take a picture and evaluate. Once you have what you want simply take the eye off but keep the push pins in. When you go to glue the eye on you'll get the exact position you want by letting the push pins be your guide.

Awesome Job! Keep up the great work.

Surprisingly The Muppets are pretty small. Staceyrebecca is right in regards to the sizes vary depending on character. I saw a couple of Muppets at the Smithsonian and you'd be surprised how small they are. If you think about it though it stands to reason...the bigger they are usually the...

Correct. Or if you have an existing pattern that doesn't have a foam "skeletal" structure. For example I used it for Kermit and my version didn't have foam underneath. I also made a tutorial about the stitch a couple of years ago:

Great job! Love the fur!

Learn the "rules" then break them my friend :-)

Out Of The Box Puppets sells it to and they also sell pre-dyed reminisce that is cheaper than usual. http://www.outoftheboxpuppets.com/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=17 I also have a Puppet Builder's Directory with some links to hard to find puppet building material...

This thread is an old thread from 2002 LOL

I just posted this! Awesome stuff!

I use paper towel to make a pattern.

Sorry I was wrong- Self harding clay yes LOL I'm at work and multi tasking LOL So YES use self harding. Sorry guys.

There are Youtube videos on the split mold method- you don't want to go with self hardening clay- plain water based clay works fine. If you get holes in latex you can always mend it with latex. I use to mix a small amount of latex paint into the latex and get close to a good base colour I wanted...

With latex puppets you don't need a Kiln- just make a clay sculpture of your head and basically do a split mold from the sculpture. Liquid latex can be used after.

Than carving foam from blocks is what you need to get into :-)
