Hi everyone,

One of my new year's resolutions is to start posting daily at PuppetBuilding.com and adding a lot more tutorials and puppet building information to the site. I have been noodling around trying to decide what to do with the site and one of the things I've decided to try is pick a different theme to focus on each week.

This week's theme is going to be making puppet eyes and puppet eye mechs. You can follow along daily at http://www.puppetbuilding.com and as always feedback and suggestions are most welcome.

Very neat. I never actually thought of that particular method before. It's quite simple. I like it!

Thats Cool!....I like this a lot!

I like the second link...the one with animatronic eyes....I had found that site a couple of years ago and was interested in the eyes...but didn't have any money and stopped going to it....

But now they have Hands!...and thats exactly what I'm looking for.

Thanks Buck!

Probably the last of eye mech stuff for now is up on the site, but anyone interested may want to check out these related articles on the Puppet Building Wiki:

- Puppet Eyelid Mechanism
- Moving Eye Mechanism

...and since it's a Wiki, anyone is free expand and update these articles with their own information if they wish.
