Wow terrific! Really! I love to see the in-progess pics you have up on there as well! very good! Can't wait to see him in action.

 

[Blink]

Love his expression. I can imagine him moving

A great big thank you to Tztz, CraftyDen, mrhogg and maniacal muppet for the kind words. I really do appreciate it.

Super! I love it. Is that the synthetic fleece you used for the gray areas? Where did you get the fur, seems to be very hard to find that monkey fur in places I've checked. Keep up the great work!

Hey DevonMiles thanks for the kind post. To answer your questions, I used antron fleece for the grey areas (it is the original antron that I used, not the new stuff; I have a stash of it). As for the black fur, it is found very easily here in Toronto. Most of the Fabricland stores have it; at least the ones near me do. Another great place to order fur from is Mendel's in California (San Fran). They are not the cheapest place (especially if you are having them ship fabric to you, but they will probably have what you need. (Funny, I looked quickly and I didn't see any of the long shag fur they used to have. I am not sure if they still carry it or not. More searching may need to be done). I hope that helps.

Great puppet, as usual, Blink!

And, DevonMiles, Mendel's still has the fur, only it's on this page - Faux Fur Solids.

Thanks for the info man, much appreciated! It's nice to see the original antron fleece again, there's just something about it that the new stuff lacks in, I think it's the glistening effect that when the light hits it a certain way it actually looks like it sparkles a bit.
So what's the next one?

No worries at all. I am happy to help. Yah, I have a bunch of it that I am holding on to dearly. I love the stuff too.

The next puppet is a cool hip hop chimp. I will document the build and post pictures as usual.

Great puppet, as usual, Blink!

And, DevonMiles, Mendel's still has the fur, only it's on this page - Faux Fur Solids.

Thanks bezalel. I think the design was great!

Oh and thanks for the proper page for Mendel's.
