I just posted a couple of pics about how to make moveable eyes for puppets from a book I borrowed from the library back in 1995. I can't find the book anymore, but would love to purchase a copy and give fair notice to all those who were associated with it. If anyone can help me on this that...

Wow! Thanks Grant, your puppet hands are great!

I use my portable DVD player- about $100 Canadian

Awesome! Keep the videos coming!

Go to my blog (address below) I go into some detail. My writting is not exactly the best so if I haven't explained it well let me know and I can try to elaborate more.

Not certain, I believe he would just pull the strings and it would move the finger(s). I guess you could make a trigger for it, or pull string through the arm rod.

I'm presently producing a video to promote the summer camp I work for. The story has the main character- a Puppet- ride a bike to camp...sounds easy? It relatively was... Check out the Youtube video HERE! Let me know what you think. Oh ya, this clip was just a test, and probably won't be used...

Just a little sand paper Hey Nick, Use very fine sand paper and the writing should come write off- you shouldn't even have to press hard. If you have a female companion or friend ask if you can have a nail file. I purchased some ping pong balls at a dollar store and was able just to wipe it off...

Hands I know that Noreen Young has a video that has how to affix wire within the hand. Really though, all you have to do is draw out a hand pattern on material, trace the pattern with the wire on the inside part of the pattern, sew the pattern; pull it inside out then "force" the wire inside-...

About making hands I came across a video on Youtube a couple of years ago about Grant Harding (A fellow Canadian) making a hand that grasps. I looked and looked but couldn't find it. Finally I came across a picture of it: Click for the picture HERE He had posted on Youtube HERE, but I don't...

Hmmmm... It looks to me like they switch from glove (Puppeteer wearing a glove) to rod controlled- depending on the shot.:smirk: I think Sesame Kermit was right on the other shots.

When I traced out the patterns on fabric, I cut to the sewing machine line even though I was sewing by hand.

I have done both the pin head and the glorified puppet pattern in fur. they both work out great. You can check out my work in the Gallery section on the Project Puppet Website.

In Canada this PSA was hillarious! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyl5Mwr84MA As a teen we always joked that they were singing about something else. Now at 33, I finally figured out they were singing about rat poison :-)

Servos will always make a sound- Sometimes the audience won't even notice the noise if your performance sound is loud enough; or they will notice the sounds but just ignore it after a while. I recommend doing a show with friends and family first (don't tell them about the servos) see if they...

I love it! Love the scarf!

Extra piece of foam I'm not really certain what you are asking, but I'll try to answer. The seam on the back is because I used an older foam pattern- it has four parts to it. I used this pattern so I could use up all the "leftover" foam I had, they (the foam bits) were smaller and couldn't be...
