Building a puppet from scraps...

[Blink]

Great puppet, Blink! I've got a whole hamper full of antron fleece scraps I'm going to have to go through, now.

Thanks bezalel! Yes indeed there is no reason to throw any of it away. It would be cool to see more people make scrap puppets.

That pile must have been calling out to you from blink jones locker. Nothing goes to waste, everything can be somthing, just add creativity. Great Job.

Hey CPR PUPPET! Too true. I definately felt like there were things I could do with the scraps. It was a great learning experience to build. Thanks!

thats so cool any insight on how you built the eye mech

Hi puppetise. Sorry for the delayed response. The eye mech uses the same principle as the "blinking eye mech" seen here on the forum. I added a spring to the middle of the eye hinge to hold it in an open position. I didn't take any pictures but here are a few that illustrate it quite nicely. Here and here. I hope that helps. Lots can be learned from these designs. Here is one more. It is almost exactly what I did.
