    Help making a bird flap his wings...

    Hello you helpful lot! I've been working on a bird puppet similar to Little Bird and having major trouble working out how to get his wings to flap.

    Steve Whitmire with Avenue Q?

    I never knew any muppeteers were involved with Avenue Q, until last night when I was at a party and one of my friends told me "I saw the guy who does Kermit's voice once" She went on to say that he was the puppet master for the show and gave an introductory speech when she saw it before it...

    Photo Puppet Maintenance Advice

    Hi, I asked about this on the MR Photo Puppet Replicas board and was wisely recommended to ask you lovely puppet building types for some good advice. My MR Kermit seems to be sort of malting, like little bits of the fleece seem to be balling off of him and it's a bit of a concern since he's...
