Great job! A couple of constructive points though... Plump up the body on the next one a tiny bit. His collar is a little bit bulky, not the points but the upper part of the collar is a little too full. I did the same thing on my first attempt too. And I think you could help the likeness out by...

I think I should mention that the Brattle is a small independant theater. As in a proper theater (think the muppet theater) that has a screen on the stage. Not a big huge multiplex cinema with the giant screen or that kind of atmosphere. It's actually a pretty cool place! I saw a showing of...

think of the arms as tubes with a slight flair at the end which will become his palms. Sew the tube up to where his thumb will start, leaving the palm unsewn. Make an armature from wire in the shape of his hand; insert the wire into the opening at the end of the palm. then continue sewing the...

Yeah deciding which showing to go to is tough. I'm leaning toward the triple feature as I haven't seen the great muppet caper in twenty years. I'm thinking about bringing my Kermit replica with me! I'd love to see the dark crystal/labyrinth double feature but I have to work that day.

Hey folks, The weekend of April 20th the Brattle theater in Harvard square is having Muppet Madness! They will be showing a bunch of Muppet/Henson movies including a triple feature of the muppet movie, the great muppet caper and muppets take manhatten. Here's a link to all the details...

so cool!!! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Adam!

awesome job Adam! all your puppets are excellent. Not to hijack the thread but what are you using for the Fozzie fur? I"ve been mulling over a Fozzie build.

Muppet Fan: sorry it has taken so long to reply. You take the head pattern and cut out two mirror images of it in fleece. Overlap them so that the more plush and fuzzy sides are facing each other. Then sew the seam all along the top of the head and the seam along the underjaw/throat; leaving the...

thanks Muppet fan. Gene, we could sure compare our ideas on the pattern. though you have taken a completely more methodical approach than I have. I looked at pics of Kermit and then the MR drawing and visualized the MR being totally off in some ways; the top of the head being too shallow, the...

Thanks Toodles! When I focus, my Kermit voice is pretty good... A bit more Steve than Jim to be honest though. It's getting better. When I'm just goofing around my Kermit seems to sound like a slightly drunken Ray Romano. Liam: thanks too! I mostly just jumped into it. I saw the drawing of the...

that's a wonderful and endearing story Anthony! My Kermit was out and about entertaining my family christmas day... my cousin and her 2 year old were thrilled to skype with kermit. that's been about it so far though. You really feel on the spot when Kermit's on your arm. which is funny because...

Hello, on the issue of scaling, i think what is causing your pattern to seem too large is that Kermits eyes aren't quite full hemispheres. they're a bit smaller than the ping-pong ball cut in half. If you take a ping-pong ball and cut it at it's equator you'll get your 40mm's but you should...

Rowlfy: thanks! ElmoPepper: it's clear template plastic i bought at the fabric store; i guess it's used for making quilt patterns and such. it's really easy stuff to use, relatively strong but quite flexible. i ended up doubling up the thickness for my build though. Kermie: you can't go wrong...

Thanks for the kind words everyone. This is such a fun forum with awesome and talented people. I'm gonna try to finish his legs and fix a few things that are bugging me, then take some better pics. Eventually I want to make a reporter outfit for him. The coat is gonna be tricky as I've never...

thanks milo! and thanks again with the help on putting on the eyes. the collar is indeed a bit large but i think with a bit of deft scissor work it'll be better. that'll have to wait till after the holidays are over. If you look at the last pic the pupils are a bit smaller and more refined than...

very impressive!

I recently made my own kermit puppet, well it's mostly finished anyway, i just have to make him some legs. It's my first attempt at making a puppet of any kind, i think it came out pretty well. I used references i found here and some photos i took of an early 70's photo Kermit that was at the...
