i think my favorite thing about ostrich boas is how well they convey emotion. i mean, they rock! i don't really know how to describe it but when a puppet has ostrich feathers it's so much easier to tell what emotion the puppeteer is trying to show. definetly worth spending a little more on...

when putting on the little specks, it's best to use white electric tape. tape is better because you can take it off and on if you don't get the focus quite right. i suppose if you were really good you could use paint, but i think it'd be alotharder.

lol! oh my goodness, i remember that show vividly. but i only watched one episode, because... uh... the cavity goon gave me nightmares for a week. lol i was seven give me a break

the green fuzzy one's name is Marvin, crazy green one with teeth is Douglas, the old man is Alfred, the bird is Gertie, and the old lady is Eunice. all of the puppets that we (my mom and I) make are one of a kind, we don't use patterns. well... mostly... Marvin's body is from a pattern, but...

super sweet, thanks for the feedback. i like that idea about the teeth, they have kinda been bugging me, but it was too late. they are actually curved with the lip but you can't really tell in these pics, but i like that idea about tucking the teeth behind the upper lip. i've added another...

if ur good enough to make an avenue Q puppet u should be good enough to know what u need. ;) i have no idea what you would need for a puppet of that quality, but i'm sure that you would need to go to more places than just Hobby lobby. :) p.s. no harm intended

yeah your puppet definetly looks armslength inspired, and that is NOT a bad thing. :D and don't feel like you're a copy cat 'cause arms length makes videos and kits on how to make puppets like that. many people have tried to make puppets that look very similar to what you have made and not many...

yeah the lack of elbows is what made them look weird.
