Hi
For those of you looking for patterns to make ball shapes for heads or bodies here's a tip - do a search for instructions on making juggling balls. Many sites contain patterns for making four panel juggling balls which make good spherical shapes. Try this one:

I think Buck Beaver also has some spherical patterns for foam on his site.

Hey, Buck, did you ever get to the part about fixing up the innards?

Translation (because people like me who play with rubber chickens understand what the odd posts say):

"Do you have any links to other puppet making sites, be they your own or someone else's?"

The best place to look for links is The Puppetry Homepage. A couple of years ago my web site used to have a section called "The Puppet Bin" where the construction process for different types of puppets was discussed step-by-step. I'll take a look through my archieve and see if I still have the HTML files.

So far I've found one of the tutorials I mentioned in my previous post. It's more of an overview though. It's for constructing 14'0 giant puppets, which are actually really cool.

It's now posted here.
