    Looking for ORIGINAL Antron fleece!

    It's only what came in the kit. I think it was already cut in the rough. Just needed sewn together and trimmed (if I recall correctly). Sorry. Didn't mean to get anyone's hopes up. I do however still have all the patterns from Dave

    Looking for ORIGINAL Antron fleece!

    I actually still have my old Antron fleece from 2001 where I bought a kit from Dave Pannabaker. I was always afraid to use the fleece so I just saved it.

    Entire Fraggle Five on Ebay!

    I dont believe I questioned the quality of his work as I believe from everything Ive seen of Puppetmancan's work he is amazingly talented. Only that selling replicas is illegal and therefore wrong and also that those talents would be better served in making to sell originals of his own design. I...

    yes this is America and i still have as much a freedom of speech as anyone else here. You dont have to agree or like what i have to say about the subject but i will NOT shut up just because you have a different opinion. The fact is copyright infringement( as petty as you may feel it is) is...

    Entire Fraggle Five on Ebay!

    guess i hold to a different standard than some. Although your right that i shouldnt judge the person, i do see it necessary to judge the action. I dont believe it ok to look for loop-holes in the sys. I sleep better not having to make excuses for myself. But thats me.

    Entire Fraggle Five on Ebay!

    TSHshzzz...there goes another conscience, seered clean off! Duh! If your breaking the law then its a good indication your doing something wrong. And just for the record Mr. Henson buying illegal replicas of his own work is still wrong. Thats why we have copyright laws, to protect against people...

    Needed: Brainstorming: Big Whale Puppet

    something i forgot to mention about the construction is that the whole fish was nothing more than a framework (probably aluminum) over which was stretched a shinny spandex like fabric. This makes it very light.

    Needed: Brainstorming: Big Whale Puppet

    Not to be contrary since all the suggestions have been excellent but food for thought; the scripture actually says Jonah was swallowed by a great fish which most interpret to be a whale. At any rate this leaves the possibilities open to make a whale (tail moves up and down) or a very large fish...

    Hard foam

    yes. Jinx is right. I use it for my puppet team as kneeling pads. I bought it at Guildcraft, a furniture upholstry shop and foam store in York , PA. It has almost a plastic feel to it although it gives just a bit like a dense foam. Good stuff!

    arm rods -- a distraction?

    all be it true that arm rods on a puppet performed by a great puppeteer are insignificant, with all the technology of today, i'd like to think it not just possible but probable that we can make these creatures come to life in new and most interesting ways. Sure, every point is true that good...

    What would you like to learn about puppet building?

    The eye mech section sounds very interesting to me. Although I've made several quality eye mechs from brows, moving eyes to blinking eyes, I'm always looking for better mods for use in new creations. I'd also be most interested in ideas for full body puppets

    Covering a Small mouse

    a few years ago I received a latex mouse head and had planed to build a stick puppet with an eye mech. Ive just finally begun construction on the mech for the eyes and mouth but im looking for material to cover the skin. I thought of flocking the latex and then adding patches of fur in the ears...
