    Velcro; what fabric will it attach to?

    Hi, I'm thinking of making an "anything" or "whatnot" type muppet, with eyes and noses and hair pieces that can attach with Velcro. I'll make the head out of foam.

    Eyebrows that move - any ideas?

    I've been pondering the easiest way to do eyebrows that I can move them up and down. I think Bert :( can do this trick. The easier the solution the better, they don't have to move much. I've come up with two ideas so far: 1) put the eyebrows on a stick that pokes through the forehead down to...
