Oh WOW! :excited: What a wealth of valuable info! This sounds so very corny but thanks again Buck! :rolleyes: You really saved the day. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I will print out this page so I also get froggiegirl18's advise as well. I will take all the help I can get. Thanks...

We are starting out with rod arm puppets. After we master the basics then I want to introduce some other forms of puppetry for a bit of variety. Maybe one day some bunruku and blacklight. I've only ever done rod arm puppetry, shadow puppetry and human hand puppetry. Thanks Buck ever so much...

Wow! this is the first time I have ever posted anything and got no response at all. :eek: :cry:

Does anyone have a written agenda for puppeteer training available? I need to get a week by week list of training material and an agenda for what to do at each meeting. This is the first time I have trained puppeteers and I'm sorta training myself at the same time. Yes yes I know someones gotta...

Is there still much of a market for high end puppets? I mean I know I love 'em. The ladies and gentlemen of this forum love 'em, but what kind of people really look for rod arm and live hand puppets that aren't the $30 kind? I've just never seen them advertised before. I'm not gullable enough to...

Where should I market the puppets I have made? Is Ebay really the best place? Would many people even see them there? I'd really like to make whole lines of puppets to sell at some kind of show where many people would get a chance to see my work. Sort of an art gallery/ vendor's exhibition thing...

Okay. I must be doing it right then because Tumbles has the same trench lines at the places where the foam comes together as my puppets have had. Must be that the people that make foam puppets, that dont cover the foam but simply airbrush the foam, sand the shape of the body and head or make it...

I've been told that this has been covered in the forums before but for the life of me I can't seem to find it. I am having difficulty with gluing foam with contact cement. I don't know it its the foam I am using or if its that Im pressing the pieces together wrong but the foam always draws in at...

Ah! cool Avatar u have now Fozzie. I like that one much better. It's u! Definately! :D

probably the same reason some folks are lefties and some are righties. huh? what did i just say? anyway probably just a preference like some people like rod arm puppets and some like bunruku style.( I probably didn't spell that right) now i really sound silly! :p

$50 ey? well as much as i've heard about it i'm sure its a good collection of reference. it is too bad there aren't any patterns that come with it. that would be a helpful reference even if it wasn't what u wanted to make. i plan on getting this soon (hopefully) :smirk:

Where's the cheapest place to buy "The Foam Book Video"? You can find The Foam Book Video by Grey Seals everywhere on the net but where is the cheapest place you have found it? Save us some clicking and typing and post a link here please. Thanks! ;)

You can really mess up a puppet with one of those ;)

Yeah there are a few things I MUST modify right away. I just don't care for the facial features like eyes, nose, ears, and hair. Later I'll have to give it more of a chin. It doesn't look to me like they changed the design really. From what Keann told me she just made the instructions a bit...

so if there is a black dot on a new thread then is it dead before it ever got started? bummer! :smirk:

I talked with Keann Brown who is the director for the construction zone at OWS. She has rewritten the instructions for the people puppet pattern. I just received mine. I know most of the people here at MCF don't care for OWS but I've heard that alot of it has been because of the complication in...

Wow!!! Not knockin' your early work but WOW!!! What an difference time, experience and the foam book made in your construction. hmmm the plastic spoons thing for the eyes gives me an idea. Actually many "eye"deas.

posting just to say HI! :smirk: not sure if anyone ever reads this thread anymore since its so old but i guess they will now. these threads go back to the beginning once someone posts on em. well HI anyway. :p

I understand. New set of pupils right?
