Hey ladies n gents, this summer, a friend and I have been working on a Miss Piggy head beginning with a clay sculpture. We are now at the point of making a mold and casting it out of foam, but we're kinda stumped. Making the mold is the easy part, but can you create a plug so you don't have...

I originally bought the Master Replicas Kermit for reference for making my own Kermit puppet. Now that I have a real puppet I'm happy with and $ is tight, I thought I'd auction it off on ebay. Just a heads up if anyone is interested. :)...

Does Gonzo have a seperate head or is it attached like Elmo & Grover? Does anybody know? :concern:

Hi everbody. I modified my Animal Master Replicas photo puppet. I hollowed him out, removed the wires from his arms, added arm rods and practically dismantled his head. I put in a mouth plate and replaced his teeth, nose, and tongue with foam ones. I also unglued his eyebrows and added a...

Hi ho! I've been a member for a while here an post from time to time. I teach elementary art and about two years ago I decided to start using puppets in my classroom to help with boring things like classroom management, how to use materials, and how to clean up. I made three original puppets...

I was in Toys R US today an in their FAO section at the front of the store, they had a green Muppet Whatnot. No features or clothes. It said "green body" on the SKU tag. I saw not facial pieces or clothes to purchase anywhere though.

This is from the 35th anniversary of Disneyland, but I had never seen it before. It's very funny and makes me wonder if this is where they got the idea for the Piggy as Cinderella bit. Is it me, or does Piggy look a little, um, hollow and stretched out...

I am using Project Puppet's Mostro pattern to make a puppet for use in my classroom and I needed some assistance. It suggests boiling faux fur to give it texture. Should the fur be boiled before you cut/sew it or should you wait until your pieces have been put together and then boil them...

The Jim Henson Creature Shop was featured on last week's Science of the Movies on the science channel. They showed how foam and felt puppets work and how they later branched out into computer controlled puppetry and they finished with a demo of Sid the Science Kid. It was cool.

Hey I'm new on the forum here, though I was semi-regular on the Palisades Muppets boards. I teach elementary art and have come up with the idea of using puppets to help teach classroom management and some how to videos (Imovies is great). I designed the character to be very Muppetesque in...
