Hi there!
I am a 26 year old puppet builder/puppeeter from Washington DC environs, now living in San Francisco and I've been and forever be enchanted with the muppets all my life, as have so many of the fans on this site.
It's been always my life's dream to work for the muppets, and have been slowly acquiring useful skills- sculpting, sewing, costume building. I finally took a class on puppet building and I felt I was home at last!!!!!! Since then I've been making and practicing working with puppets every day and have been loving every minute.
Could anyone give me any advice on how I should focus my energies to achieve my goal of working for the muppets?
Should I work on building a portfolio of puppets, or concentrate on a couple of characters, start a puppet troupe...any advice would be most welcome!
