So, this is a puppet I made for a friend. It is also my first paying gig as far as making puppet's go. She took me three months to make and the journey was incredible. I learned new skills, honed the ones I already have and learned some new techniques in how I build. There were some times when I...

If this seems like something you'd like to consider, I'd suggest loooking at audacity software. It's not professional but it's free and it seems like I've seen quite a few amateaurs using it. At any rate it would give you something to play around with, without making the commitment of buying...

Hey guys, I had a quick question. Does anyone here use something to practice patterns on polyfoam? And if so, what do you use? I'm playing around with a puppet shape but I don't want to use up all my foam doing rough drafts if I can help it. Does anyone have any advice?

Hey guys, I've seen all the discussions about the movie here and thought I'd start this thread about what we were all half expecting. What I mean by this is, where there particular scenes were you were thinking something might happened? Even if it did or didn't happen in the end I though it...

Hi guys. I got a question if someone can help me. I'm working on a glove hand puppet and I'm having trouble with the arm. I made a similar puppet once before and just attached the arm to the body, stuck it through the shirt and then put my hand up through the whole thing. It worked but I feel...

Hi guys. So, I'm working on a bird puppet and am toying with the idea of making the beak out of latex, just to push my skill boundaries a little. But I wanted to know if this was a good idea or not as I'm not sure about the strenght of latex. Does anyone know if it's strong enough to put of with...

Hi guys, I had a question that kinda deals with puppeteering ediquette (or at least I think it might) In the past few months I've been around with Mitch (one of my puppets) at work and a couple other places. so far it's just been reandom dialogue that I come up with off the top of my head...

So I was wondering if any of you guys could help me. I really like the idea of human arm and hand puppets. Just to clarify because they go by so many names I can't keep them stright I mean the style where the puppeteers hand is the puppets. I understand how the monster puppets work. But the...

So, a little bit of backstory... We've had this propane grill for years and it's starting to die on us. So my family decided to get a new grill for my dad for Father's Day. We went and picked it up today and are now on a grilling spree. Currently, we are grilling chicken marinated in Teryaki...

I've been looking around here and other places but I can't find the answer to this question, so sorry in advance if someone has indeed answered it. Does anyone know how to neatly cover the back of a ball in fabric so that it looks like eyelids? I was trying to do something mroe than just stick...

So I've been playing around with puppet manipulation and I've come accross something I'm trying to figure out. I've read that it's best to get he puppet's lower jaw to move more than the upper. But every time I do this with a puppet it seems almost physically impossible to get the lower jaw to...
