    Wocka-Wocka... He's at it again!

    I have been reading this for a while. I have not see this brought up. But, some years ago Sears had a commical that used a knock off Miss Piggy and Kermit. They did not call them by their name from what I remember. I know David Pannibecker made them. I might be wrong but I thought they had used...

    Christian Puppetry

    I think there has been some really good thoughts that have been expressed. I think it a matter of leadership. Something I learned along time ago. "The Law of the Lid" You can't take anyone higher than where you are yourself. Our leaders at churches need to have a passion to do it well and relay...

    Puppet Making Video

    Just again wanted to say I believe that Playsoup's video is one of the best things lately to come out for beginning puppet builders. A few years ago it was Pannabecker's puppet video. Here lately Project Puppet has brought out some great things for us puppet folks. Now this! I think for someone...

    Puppet Making Video

    Hey Renegade, It does show you how to make a pattern. He makes one right in front of you and walks you through the steps on drawing and putting into foam and then into the pattern. What he shows is the way I have done it for years and most more experienced builders do but, what is thought in the...

    Puppet Making Video

    I just got the video and it is GREAT! For anyone who is already building and ones who are wanting to start. This will be a great tool for you. It has step by step instructions, how to cut foam, and even how to glue. I wish it would have been out when I started years ago. It is money well spent!

    Fur

    I have thought the same, but I use a white fur and I put it in a big pot of water on the stove. I put my dye in there and just let it simmer for a long while. The fur does not take all the dye like Antron but does take it. Also it gives it a rough look too. When I rise it out in cold water after...

    Fur

    One thing I have learned about dyeing fur, it is better to just put it in a big pot on the stove instead of the washing machine. I just let it set for while and cook it. It causes the fur to really give a nice look something like what I have seen from muppet fur.

    Puppet Making Video
