Has anyone ever tried to paint/tattoo/use sharpies on Antron? I'm working on a puppet of my Tattoo artist and I'm trying to figure out the best way to tattoo it. I tried shaving it down a little and using sharpies, they work just okay. I'd like to find a nicer solution. Anyone have any ideas?
I just posted my latest puppet on eBay. Take a look if you like :excited:

Here's my latest puppet. He's a WoodElf, antron fleece, faux fur and his vest is made of silk leaves. He still needs a little work but he's almost done.
I just posted him on eBay if anyone is interested.

I'm now taking custom Antron fleece color orders in the store section of my website. I only have about 20 yds for custom dyeing so orders will be fulfilled first come first serve basis.

Does anyone know the legalities of making puppets that look like say a celebrity? Or a movie character?
I have several ideas for them but I'm not sure if I can legally build and sell them. Anyone know?
I just posted my little purple and white fraggle type puppet on ebay if anyone is interested
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Purple-Fraggle-Type-Puppet-/130581268352?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e67400780#ht_1253wt_1141
Does anyone have any experience with coloring antron using something other than dye? I'm starting a project that I need mostly flesh colors but I need very small amounts of a few other colors. Has anyone tried fabric paint or something similar?
Can anyone suggest a fur that would be good for making fraggles? I haven't really done any work with fur yet so I'm a little overwhelmed with all of the different kinds.

Have any of you ever seen the video series by Dr. Puppet? All I can say is wow! I learned a ton. So many tips & tricks. This is a must for any new puppet maker! Best $50 I've spent so far...

Does anyone know where to order feather trim like the stuff used in this video? All I've been able to find is the stuff that has a thick ribbon attaching it and I haven't had any luck using it so my cats got some new toys lol

Okay so I've realy gotten the hang of working with the foam as far as cutting and glueing, now I'm trying to figure out how darts work. I understand the concept, you cut a v shape and you get a curve. What I'm trying to learn is how to angles and depth affect the curves? Is there a good link...
Can anyone share (of their own design), suggest a pattern that I can purchase on the inexpensive side or offer advice on how I could make my own pattern to make a sort of generic fraggle? I'm trying to make one for my niece for her birthday, I have all the supplies and the idea in my head, but...
I'm wondering what you pro peeps use for hair? I saw stiqpuppet using ostrich feathers and it looked great. Anyone know any retailers that I could actually walk in and see it before I buy it?
What else do you suggest?
:scary:
I looked through the forum and didn't see anything on this, I apologize if it's posted somewhere else.
I'm extremely new to puppet building. I've done a lot of research online about supplies and such and all I hear about is Antron Fleece and how amazing it is. I've also read that it's not...
