ah, answered that one myself by looking at another thread. I may give it a try OUTSIDE one day ;)

In some of my earlier puppets when I only put a rod in one arm I would use wire in the other to pose it however I wished.

Hey all, so I have never carved foam either, but am interested in trying as well. Having an interest in stop motion animation as well, I found hot foam carving tools. Now, I know that they use these tools to carve styrofoam into set pieces, but I have often wondered if it might work for our...

He's really great! Suprising for someone "new" to puppetry ;) Nice job!

I feel like I need to stand up for the Foam Book. I have never used a puppet project (even though they look great!) and started building with the foam book as my only resource. I certainly made mistakes in the beginning, but I learned so much from them very quickly. I also have never had to...

Please, don't let your first be your last. My first one looks like poop. But I remember (9 years ago?) making my first and just being so excited about bringing a bunch of random, shapeless materials into something that had life and almost peed. So I kept trying, and now, I must say my puppets...

Aww. I know the feeling. Well, you wont be sad if you manage to make all that money for him!

He's adorable! Great work!

I agree, I typically glue making sure I have excess...and then trim it down and it works great. However, if you would like to sew, again leave excess, fold it over to leave desired overlap and slip stitch...I think that would work. If it were me though, I'd just glue it :)

He is quite cute & unique! Great Job!

All of your work is quite impressive!

I once saw an old Circus Wagon...it was probably the coolest thing ever. I thought about trying to find one and turning it into a traveling puppet theater but haven't found one like it anywhere..perhaps I'll just have to make it myself

How might someone go about getting a little more information on this?

Thanks, I was thinking more along the lines of stage lighting though, not just special effects..

To any of you who put on shows, I have a question for ya. What all do you use for lighting, where do you get it from, how much does it cost app. I am thinking about building this great show and I am trying to work numbers out...thanks for your help! AEaston

Wes, animateclay.com/index.php?module=PayPalCart&offset=0&cid=5 has different styrofoam sculpting tools for sale if you don't want to make them yourself..just FYI.... AEaston

Hi All, So those of you who have checked out my website, (and if you haven't, you should) might have noticed that all my puppets share a very similar style. I know this can be a good thing, but I'd really like to branch out and try new techniques and see what else I can come up with. I taught...

San Antonio!!!

Thanks for the comments guys! As far as closer pictures goes...I don't have that feature on my website. My neighbor actually designed and updates it for me and her web building skills are slightly limited...but If there's one in particular you'd like to see I could send it in an e-mail no problem!

Hi All, I've been reading this forum for probably years now but never actually posted. But I'm ready now!! I'm a senior in high school and as an internship I've been making and selling puppets to friends/family/my curch...etc. I just thought it would be kinda cool if some of you checked out my...
