My Puppets

[ToasterBoy]

Hey all-

I humbly present my feeble attempts at puppet building. Mainly using the Foam Book. Can't wait for John Kennedy's next book. From all he's told me it's going to ROCK. The foam Book is good but it just seems like there's stuff Missing. I got the Foam Book Videos for Christmas and they are good but again, it's like stuff is missing.

Anywho, the photos are here:

Awesome work, man! Is that foam work on granny or what?

 

[ToasterBoy]

Thanks for all the nice comments!

That is indeed Foam Work on the Gramma puppet. It's based heavily on the Foam Book Video of the Nip & Tuck Method. The head of the puppet turned out to tbe so big that folks joked with me that she was almost life sized.

Anyway, thanks again for the comments. I haven't decided what I'm going to work on next. Either a Rat Mascot for a website or one of my Grandfather. Pictures when I do!

Rock On!

Awesome Puppets man...hey what did you use for Princess Sabrina's eyes?

Two plastic spoons, sanded down on the edge. Fake $3 eyelashes and black "no scuff" dots that you can buy at hardware stores.

The two fish puppets are the first times I tried to make "Henson" looking eyes. The contact cement stuff works good, but I switched to Hot Glue and it worked just as well.
