    Tattooing or painting a puppet?

    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?

    Legalities of puppet "Look alikes"?

    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?

    Coloring small bits of antron fleece

    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?

    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...
