Glad to hear they sorted it. :)

Get back in touch with them to see if there is anything you can do. Especially if you have the tracking number as proof. That is one of the failings of eBay for me as they always side with the buyer in 99% of cases. I once sent a limited edition art portfolio completely wrapped and secured in...

Oh, and the other thing i forgot to mention - because someone commented on it in a previous thread - The Lizzards are all made with mostly standard polar fleece with some Antron. I have found, particularly on certain colours, that polar fleece is sometimes better than Antron in the fact it...

I have the same Sony handycam at the minute that i use for most of my video work. The screen is great to flip out although I work with green screen so the camera tends to be about three metres away and it can sometimes be hard to make out if the puppet is looking directly at the camera or up in...

So, after a last minute addition, a name tweak and a change of face, here are the first pictures of the Lizzard Brothers. The premise remains the same, and three of the now quartet have definite voices. So here is the rundown of the Lizzards. Freddie While i have an idea that all four of...

It's hard to pick anything out. I didn't have any kind of pattern to start with, but she was built over about four months due to orders coming in so I never got to a point where there was one thing that seemed to take forever to get around. I suppose, thinking about it, the mouth was one of the...

Relisted here and ending in a couple of days. A few watchers but still could grab a bargain. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151677025121?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

I'm 33 now. I watched Fraggle Rock when i was a kid. I watched the Muppet Show and Muppets Tonight in the subsequent years. I watched every Muppet film made - even the dubious ones - and now I make puppets for people who want to bring that kind of magic to a new generation. Hearing that The...

So, among the numerous ideas and projects I've got, one is a trio of singing lizards who sing comedy versions of well known songs in an acapella style. I'm still toying with whether to include something around the neck/head, but for now here are some pictures of two of the trio.

As much as i don't want to, many circumstances, including space saving, means that my Queen Elsa puppet has to find a new home. She is up for sale on eBay for just over a week so check her out here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151666469673?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Lol, i know what you mean. The first three puppets i sold on ebay about four years ago went to Sweden, Germany and the US. It's always funny when you have people in foreign countries willing to pay for postage on puppets when there are some very good puppet makers in their country - Germany and...

So, he's not quite finished - well there are pins along the edge of his cape which needs stitching, and he needs a tongue, but other then that he's pretty much done. It is of course Count Von Count. Here are some pictures i quickly took last night, although the lighting is terrible lol

So, I had the recording gear out...finished what i was doing...what else was i going to do. It's quick, it's cheerful and i thought it was worth a share. Probably better for non-conservatives. :)

He looks great so far. Fozzie is one i want to make again as the last one i made had terrible eyes and i think most times it is the eyes that make the character.

Love him :)

OK, so i finally managed to find a little time to put together another video with full lighting, so you can actually see the cape in this one. I have been having trouble with my wrist, so after doing an hours worth of recording, i had to stop half way through this one to give it a rest. There is...

So, like most people, I have a list of muppets that I want/need/have to have in my life at some point when i have the time. And I finally managed to get around to third of these. He is about half completed, but i think a teaser shot should be enough to give away who it is, with more to follow...

Thanks for that. I'm hoping to rerecord the video with full lighting and the whole song sometime this week.

For the lining of the puppets you can really use any soft fabric. I tend to use fleece and just see it into the base of the head inside whatever neck the puppet has and then I normally also sew it into the bottom of the body so it creates a full tube from head to entry hole. I think like most...

Well, here are some shots of the completed Elsa puppet along with a quickly compiled video of her performing her signature tune. Enjoy.
