thought some of you might enjoy these sites, espesecially those of you who are learning what you can do with foam and fabrric, first one is a site were you can purchase some simple hand puppets.

the second is a great blog, ( i first found it on Bucks site, not sure if anyone else has posted about this here) its written by Puppet designer/builder Sean Johnson who works with the Puppet company Swazzle out in Cali.

he covers alot of the quiestions people on here are always asking about , (maybe not the same way i do things, or you do things but all totally valid ways of doing puppets, and they look great so check them out
