Hello all! I'm starting to begin the brainstorming and drafting for my next upcoming production, The Crayon Kingdom, based on the book by Jennie Bishop. I am planning on building all the puppets for the production and already have an idea of what I want. I would like to follow the book's idea...

I've finally made the decision and decided to try selling one of the fraggle-type puppets I made. They were a lot of fun to make and I hope the auction goes over well. I plan on using the funds from this auction towards buying more puppets for my team's ministry. Wish me luch...

Long time since I been here >__<; I spent a real busy senior year so didn't have much time for forums. Puppetry, of course though! Anyways its been ages since I made a puppet and I felt like finally using the GSP pattern thats been collecting dust since I bought it. Its so easy to use, I just...

A couple of hours ago I dyed some antron fleece using the Scarlet dye, the color looked amazing when wet and i let it soak in some extra dye since i knew it'd look lighter once dried. However now that its starting to dry, I noticed its a LOT lighter than what I wanted. So i was wondering, is it...

Yup made this awhile back, operated with a ring trigger and its light-bulb lights up and the eyes move to the left and right. One Way Street made the original one, I based mine off theirs. http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a31/sfkid106/puppet/DSC00044.jpg...

I'm having a very hard time with a puppet I'm making. I'm using regular Rubber Cement on the mouthplate to glue the foam to the mouthline, but the glue simply won't adhere the foam and the ducttape to eachother. I'm using Gatorfoam for my mouthplate and it works fine until I get to the joining...

Heeey all, been awhile since I posted anything [i think xD;] But my question is, how can you make arms rods like the screw-in type? Or anything kind of arm rod which doesn't really need rubber bands? I've seen velcro but when using them rigorously they don't work too well. Thanks in advance for...

I was just wondering how helpful is David Pannabecker's video on Puppet Construction? I'm very tempted to buy it but would love to hear from those who own a copy how great it is ;]

I'm considering buying Ostrich Feathers to use for a few puppets I plan to build soon, however I have questions and hopefully you guys can provide me with answers! Is it better to use the Boas? Or are the Fringes best? Also where else besides Tonyhill.net is it possible to find Ostrich feathers...

I noticed a lot of the puppet builders and puppeteers here have their own websites and I love looking alsoat them. I noticed some have better layouts then others and I personally enjoy making website layouts though I haven't made that many lately. I want to change that! I'm willing to offer...

I have a minor dilemma of sorts at the moment and so to avoid 'wasting' too much fabric through experimentation I thought I'd voice my question here first hehe. Is it possible to make a fabric pattern from a foam pattern in order to cover the foam part of the puppet? I have a Musical Note...

Wooow long time since I've been here! Anyways I was going through the I-Fest Handson Workshops list on One Way Street and saw the Rubberband Man. Honestly I can't really wait a whole year to find out how to make one. I tried searching online but no luck D: So I was wondering, does anyone...

I recently bought some Antron Fleece and am excited on putting it to use. However I'm concerned mainly about dying the fabric. I'm aware that many people use RIT dyes but what other kinds are recomendable? I wanted to die some of them fluorescent colors so I may also use them for blacklight...

Hello, does anyone have a fraggle puppet pattern they wouldn't mind sharing with me?:) I've been searching for one on eBay and in the forums and haven't had any luck yet:o [except with puppetise but i'd like other variations as well] Also I have a question, does anyone know what kind of...

Lately I've been searching through various forums and websites, collecting various methods on making blinking eye mechanisms. The method I like best so far is threading the ping pong balls onto a wire and making a trigger. However I'd like to hear from fellow puppet builders personal experiences...

Recently I decided to completely dismantle a puppet i made when i was 12 because even though it wss my 3rd one, it looked the worst of all the three xP I decided I'd try to restore it using the same foam pieces and fabric and have started sewing in the yarn hair [ran out though so have to go buy...
