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

Also worth checking out is Sean's brother Patrick's blog Puppet Design which is all about different approaches for designing puppets.
