Sounds like a great contest! I may just have to throw my hat into the ring.
The last puppet I built was some five years ago. Way too long ago. Even my wife is noticing the longing look on my face whenever I pass a fabric shop. She took me down to the Fashion District in L.A. a couple of weeks ago, and I almost went berserk.
So, cool.
Oh, and Buck - I didn't say (type) this before, and I meant to:
You rock! Your site is awesome, and you're such a help-flow kind of guy! I just wanted to acknowledge you for that. Keep up the good work!
