My first antron fleece puppet

[Onath]

Hey guys,

So we have been gearing up for a new T.V. Pilot that we were asked to make a puppet for and perform. He is a little french chef puppet he is a blast. He is also my first time using antron fleece and would love to know what you guys think. I put a lot of time into this puppet and I'm pretty proud of him. So let me know how you guys think he turned out.

Thanks guys I'm glad you like him. Antron fleece is awesome. Now I see why it costs so much. I will try and post some video of this guy soon or at least some better photos.

Wonderful job! I love him.

What were you using up till this point instead of antron fleece, just out of curiosity?

 

[Onath]

I have used several different types of fabric. Antron Fleece is by far the best I have used for hiding seems. But, other good ones are Terry cloth(the stuff towels are made of) polar fleece is pretty good, cuddle fleece and furry fleece is also nice. I think just about any fabric can look good if you take your time while constructing it. I highly recommend experimenting with whatever fabric is on sale that week.

Well I hope that helps.

Onath, did you hand or machine sew that center seam?

I have a pile of antron that i'm just so afraid to even touch! Your first antron puppet looks amazing! I love him!

hey stacey,

The seams are hand sewn. I used a ladder stitch and then went back and loosened all the trapped fibers. I hope that helps Stacey.

Cheers,
Jon
