Any puppet-builders out there?

I wish I was a better performer than a builder somtimes... it's no fun to make somthing then just let it sit around. Puppets are ment to be art and entertainment, and just somthing really cool.

A positive "attitudinal" approach and practice will correct your situation...to a degree. Learning and practicing basic manipulation will suprise you. Hang in there...I know you can do both well if you choose to.

(Whew, I was having a Zig Ziglar moment there.)

Mike I agree with Phantom, each one of us have or own talent, you maybe a really good builder where some one else isa good manipulator.

If you want to become a better Puppeteer, I tell my team " How do you get to Carnagie Hall?"(or in our case a job With the Muppets or henson), "Practice, Practice, Practice!!!"

Your team? Do you have company running, or is it just kinda like a "for fun" thing? I love to hear about new puppet groups forming.
