I just finished up a new puppet using the Project Puppet Rotondo head and Fleece pattern. Wow! I like this even better than the bare foam.

Her name is Midgy Gibbons. She's a widow three times over. She just seems to outlast her husbands. She has a large collection of ticket stubs from various Vegas stage shows, including Tom Jones ("What a hottie!") and that new "Circus Du Slowly" thing. Midgy also likes to sew. In fact, she made the coat she is wearing from an old frog puppet.
I made one change to the foam head pattern, pinching seams 1 and 2 from the inside and gluing them to flatten out the upper lip. I used regular fleece (bought in the Fabric District in downtown Los Angeles where you can find anything you might need) because I figured I might screw up on my first try and didn't want to screw up on the good Antron Fleece. I used cotton batting to puff out the cheeks a bit. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with the way it all turned out. The instructions were fairly easy to follow, though I probably should have printed them out and then combined the two instruction (foam head and fleece).
p.s. Sorry about the link being so unwieldy.
