Dude, sign me up for the Poodles Fan Club. Love the design, love the puppet, love that you put so many pics up of your process. So jazzed about 2.0! Thanks for sharing.

Does anyone have any details on the Henson stitch? I've searched for it online, but there are a few different answers going around. I'm curious to try my hand at the real deal, if anyone knows what it is. Thanks.

Thanks muppetinsider! New question, Electric Mayhem-style! How do you make those awesome noses? I'm thinking Dr. Teeth and Floyd. Are they foam, or just stuffed fabric? And if they're foam, how do you get those kind of curves? Thanks, all!

New question, this one about Pepe the Prawn: Does anyone know how they get Pepe to look up and down? I mean, this seems pretty gnarly to me, him being a rod puppet and all. To expand the question: Does anybody know what he looks like under his skin? One day I'd like to tackle building...

Secrets of the Muppets! Amazing! I'd never seen that before, thanks Super Scooter! And thanks, too, for that great pic Once Was Ernie. I'm starting to see the scale here ... Again, thanks so so so much!

This is something that I've been thinking about for awhile, too. I mean, I love the Muppets, but they don't really have any mainstream competition. Successful puppets = Henson Co. I think about animation. Disney had competition, so they had to make better movies. And there are a handful...

Does anyone know what size the Muppets are? This might be some kind of basic question, but I'm curious. I've read a bit about how small the Sesame Street gang are, and I was just wondering about the Muppet Show crew.

Man, that was a hoot! Very funny.

I bought the Roly pattern from projectpuppet and I think that it was a great starting point. The finished puppet was too small for my hand, unfortunately -- my wife took it over and made a fun little bunny puppet -- so the other two I've built I've just taken the basic shapes and expanded it by...

I love seeing your stuff! The gorilla is awesome -- love the colors, man -- and I can't wait to see how your Zoot turns out. Thanks for sharing!

Okay. Is the difference between Gonzo's and Kermit's arms then the amount of stuffing? I mean, Gonzo's look loose and wiggly where Kermits seem more solid somehow.

I'm gonna have to try this stuff! Thank you all so much! What about arms, now? I'm thinking of the long kind of Gonzo arms. Are they just two pieces of fabric stuffed with fluff or are they segmented foam arms or what? I've got a puppet I'm working on where I want him to have those kind of...

I've made a few mouths, but they always seem to buckle under my thumb, making my puppets look as though they're always scowling. I haven't tried gasket rubber yet, but I think that's where I'm heading next. Grazzi!

I've been using the trial-and-error method and I think I'm coming along nicely ... at least it seems the learning curve has grown for me. My one big problem so far has been trying to shape and cut foam when my toddler runs off with the pieces. I end up shouting things like, "Bring back daddy's...

Wow! Thanks so much! Now, onto Question Number Two! Heads! I've seen and read things about head-shapes. I know that Kermit's head is just the hand of the performer, and I've read that Piggy's head is now molded, but curiosity is a terrible, terrible thing. I watch Floyd Pepper and Janice...

In the Introduction thread, I mentioned that curiosity is part of the reason I'm here. There seem to be a lot of talented, informed folks running wild in these pages, and I'm hoping to benefit from any info you guys and gals are willing to share with a new puppet builder. I've found lots of...

I feel like a sponge, soaking up the good vibes! At last, a place to call home ... I've been browsing around for awhile -- I'm not up on terminology when it comes to forums like this, so please forgive -- and I've been delighted to find an entire community of like-minded folks. I'm a...
