Any puppet-builders out there?

[Frogster]

I was wanting to know if I could find someone here who's excellent in the art of making puppets. I'm looking for some kind of puppet with hands like Fozzie or Rowlf, that's all I can really ask for. Something with Muppet-style eyes, and if possible, eyebrow or eyelid movement. Thanks, and hope to hear from you soon... L

I'd kinda like somewhat of a monster, but without a mean, nasty look. Something friendly... you know, Muppet-like, lol.

their are many builders here, i suggest you search the membesr for one or do a google search since , most people are not going to discuss business in a public online forum like this, best bet is to contact someone directley

I don't think Rick's work is overpriced when you consider the time, expense and expertise put in to it, but it's not intended for a casual user. If you're looking to just spend a few hundred dollars or less Rick would not be the guy to talk to. His stuff is mostly geared to TV and professional use.

He provides a nice comparison explaining the difference between his work and some of the cheaper puppets out there here.

plenty of options out thier for you, be sure to have a good concrete idea of what you want , a good drawing or sketch for the puppet designer is a great way to start , if you dont have those abilities most designers can do one for u , but that will add to the final price ,

be sure to be clear about what you want ,

I like to think of myself as a puppet builder, but I'm a much better performer than I am a builder. Yeah I know, useless post, lol!
