Yeah dude, come on, you're asking people to give you what that used their hard-earn money to buy. I mean are you the kind of person who goes to someone's home and ask "Hey, I need a sofa, can I just have yours?

Look dude, I guessing no one here will email you a free pattern. So you might as well give it up. I don't have a lot of money, but I try and save for it and it's worth. As a matter of fact I just spent 53 bucks on a dvd from Playsoup on puppet building, I've heard nothing but good things about it, so I think it's worth it.

Bottom line is you're being totally cheap and a bit rude.:boo: :boo: :boo:

Hi, I'm looking to get those Punto and Rotondo patterns. I just want the actual patterns so can someone who has them get in touch with me and email me them? I'd be very happy ^-^ Thanks very much, I hope I can start building muppets soon! :stick_out_tongue::frown:
hahaha, that made me laugh.

Dude, have you even just tried to get tips and techniques out of puppet makers? It's like getting blood from a stone.

I haven't bought the patterns but Im pretty sure ,on purchasing them,you agree to not reproduce the patterns anywhere..just seems obvious to me seeing as that's what the company's all about.

Sure it's easier when the hard work of the pattern is done for you, but it's not brain surgery, they came up with the patterns, I'm sure if you put your mind to it, you might be able to work it out.

I already have very little respect for this guy. I don't mean to sound rude or mean, cause I'm not really like that, but this guy is boldly asking for a "hand-out". He's asking people to give him, what everyone has paid their hard earn money for, and that's just not right.

If money is the issue, than why don't you just save up. If you really want that Elmo or other Muppets to build yourself, than it's worth saving for, right? I mean everything worth having is worth the trouble of getting? Or is that the "old way of thinking". :smirk:

You know what's sad is that this guy probably doesn't think he's doing anything wrong!!:concern:

He probably thinks that since this is an online company, they probably make good money, so it would be ok if I ask people on this forum for free patterns. When it's totally not ok. It would be the same thing if one of us sees this guy at Wal-Mart and he asks us to help him shoplift a few candy bars. Regradless of how much money you make to a legit company, be it Project Puppet or Wal-Mart, stealing is NOT a victumless crime, if anyone thinks like this guy (and sadly a lot of people do), it does take it's toll.

You know he said he would love to be like Jim Henson, :confused: . I don't think the great Mr. Henson would approve of what you're trying to do.

Don't stress out too much about it, JJandJanice. I think some people do or say things (especially online) for attention - whether the attention is positive or negative. Don't let it ruin your day. :smile:
