Noob at foam puppet building

[CoOKiE]

Hello,

Many of you around here have seen me (i'd assume) around the boards here. I've been doing some puppet building for a about over 2 years now, but all of its on my own. I have no idea how to do foam molds and such.. so yea, i don't know too much about how to work with foam.

Is there a DVD...? How to make foam puppets for dummies? i could read it, but i'm more of a person that has to be SHOWN how things work.

I'm aware of the foam book that is out, but i'm woundering if theres a DVD.

Also, could someone who is really used to working with foam, tell me if its really expensive to work with?
is it an easy process?
Are there expensive tools?
How doses the molding work?

Check out my Guide To Puppet Building Resources. There's lots of stuff in there to help get you started.

and are you talking about carving foam blocks -or- glueing 1/2in. foam???

either or. Like i said. I dont know how it all works. I know theres carving and cutting... and somehow putting it all together. Any way, i'm a pure noob.

Thank you for telling me about the DVD. I'm debating on getting the book too. and that site has a two-pack deal on the book and DVD... nice
