Hey, everybody! This is my first post!

I a a self-taught puppet-maker, and I have been doing it for about four years now. You can go to my website (see bottom of message!) to see some pictures of them!

OKAY... HERE'S MY QUESTION!

I have been looking ALL OVER, and I am not sure which foam I should be using. I'm looking to go to the really nice foam, instead of the "junk" apolstery foam or styrafoam balls. I do, however, use a very nice fleece! :crazy:

I would like to find a RELIABLE SOURCE that has an online store to order this foam on! I'm hoping to create some Avenue Q puppets! *ALSO* If anybody knows where I can find or make Avenue Q style puppet eyes that look really good (I'm trying to make replicas for my theater troup) please let me know!

Thanks,
Gabe :stick_out_tongue:

You probably want Reticulated Foam. ProjectPuppet sells it online in small quantities. If you want larger quanities check for foam wholesalers in Ohio or if you click around the ProjectPuppet site they have the name of their supplier.

I believe the eyes on the Avenue Q puppets are vacuformed and custom-made.
