Hair

[FeLo]

Hey there guys i'm new to the puppet building side of things, i'm a puppeteer at a theme park so have been doing that for awhile and now want to get more heavily into building...i'm attempting to make my first people puppets and was wondering whats the best way to do hair for people? i'm going to be using patterns from project puppet for now because i can't get my head around making patterns at the moment...any help would be much appreciated

Hi fellow, I am hoping that I can make a chart on how to make difern't head shapes.I make a lot of my patterns by simple shapes,theres no rules to folow. What head shape do you have in mind?

I use fur for short hair. For long hair I'd use a good wig

Hi fellow I was wondering if you saw this series of videos on puppet making http://www.youtube.com/user/StiqPuppets#p/u/14/HtRSd6OPVeE
