I found this on ebay. Its interesting how builders do this. Does anyone here build latex puppets?

Very much in the same style as the Axtell Storyteller puppet. Not close enough to be a copy but I get the feeling the builder had it in mind when sculpting...I may be wrong though!

I've done quite a lot of work with latex, but usually for rod puppets without moving mouths.

All best,

i have done some, i find that Foam latex works better for puppet heads, but it is delicate, and difficult o geta good pull , regular slipcast latex works to, but both methods are only as good as the sculpt they come from

I love latex!

All of my puppets are done using with liquid latex, durable and forgiving. Here is a link to one on my Explorer characters in the "nude latex."

For anyone interested in doing latex puppets, I highly recommend Noreen Young's "Making Lifelike Puppets" - http://noreenyoungproductions.com/rubber.htm

I have her DVD. It's very informative. I haven't jumped in to trying to make one yet, but someday...

(once I learn to sculpt *lol*)
