WOW!! You are so talented Mendus!! I am just starting out trying to make my own Muppet, a character of myself. I don't know where to start. I am wanting to carve the head out of foam and I already have it glued together to form a block but I am a bit intimidated to start carving. :embarrassed:

Thank you, they are my first puppets

I begin by finding the good size of eyes to compared with the height of the puppet.

Then I create the head in a foam block which I cut in scissors (it is not the simplest method nor the fastest!)

Then I create the body

:eek: That's AWESOME that those are your 1st puppets. That really gives me hope that I can actually succeed in making my 1st and 2nd puppets that I will be making at the same time. I need them for a project I am trying to put together.
