Nice! I love the orange fur. That's always difficult to find in Canada (don't even get me started about Mexico).

Wow, I'm aways impressed by your Gluvet Puppets.

I also want to know where people find long fur. Lab rat, you're in the UK so your supplier would most likely be different from mine. The monkey looks like it has great long fur for most of the body, and touches of Ostrich Feathers for a few longer hairs. Is that right?

I saw your image site, but if you have a website and tutorials of what you do I'd love to seem them. Fantasic job. Thanks

Another cool puppet Lab Rat! Your characters are so clean and polished. I enjoy them a lot.

Hi BuckyBits. Mendels has a good selection of fur including the 3 inch long shag fur. Check out the post entitled Puppeteer's Resource Link at the top of the puppetry section of the MC Forum for more places for furs and feathers.

He has got a few strands of ostrich feathers on the head,i got that fur from Blackpool but you can get it from e-bay,I think my next e-bay puppet will be a live hand human based on the one from muppet meeting films i'm hoping to have him ready by the weekend.

Thank you both Lab Rat and Bezalel. I've seen the Mendel's site but missed the 3" length. And I'll keep an eye on ebay.

*Another* puppet Labrat?

How fast do you do these things? Or do you do multi-builds at the same time. My turnover is usually one puppet every two weeks - thats IF I even get started! :-p

I make one at a time but they only take about 3 hours if i'm in the right frame of mind sometimes i cant get started though.
