Excellent website.

Worth the money I think considering what it is - and would start a beginner off very well.

Thanks for all the positive responses! We have been shipping out the Rotondo Pattern, and are eagerly awaiting pictures of our customer's finished puppets. We'll keep everyone here at MC posted.

I have a feeling this company is going to go far. They also posted over at P&S and took the time to return and answer comments made to thier post. The pattern looks very professional ans well developed. The puppet examples built from the pattern are unique and professional looking. You get my vote of confidence and I wish you all the best.

pricey true.. Discount foam outlets

I went to my local discount foam outlet a while a go. I wanted to make a mummy and an Audrey II. Anyway I found that the tube bolsters, 6 -8 inches wide by 4 feet long, made of heavy high density type work well for practicing. Granted they don't take abuse. but they take dye( even kool aid dye and diluted acrylic paint dye) and exra tacky quick drying glue works well.

"Pricy Foam"

The truth is Scott Foam or reticulated foam IS pricy, compared with other types of foam which are more readily available. There are many reasons why reticulated foam is preferred by professionals. If reticulated foam is out of your budget, regular upholstery foam will work. But, remember, you get what you pay for.
