    Bernard and Rasta join the Ripples Team

    Thanks Puppet Mom for the kind words. I made the glasses for Bernard from stripped heavy-gauge copper house wiring. I am having way too much fun making the new characters. Ripley is being rebuilt right now to be more performance friendly and he will also be able to squirt the kids. :)...

    Sculpt or Coated Foam OR Exposed Scott Foam?

    I have used SOC and found it is very good in limited circumstances. It is flexible, but not to the point that it would be good at a joint on a puppet. It will help your foam to last longer but you will sacrifice suppleness and performance under certain circumstances. We all struggle with...

    Airbrushing plush fabric

    You can use dyes but consider your material. Test a small patch of fabric to see whether or not it will hold the dye. Then remember with dye that you have to make it darker than you think because a great deal of color washes out. I just use a high quality acrylic and spray it in thin layers. You...

    antron fleece and water

    I would be more concerned about your "other" materials, since puppets are rarely made of pure antron. Antron is a synthetic material so water does not have much of an effect other than if you just get parts wet, you might get water spots. But if you are using foam-core board etc., these may be...

    The "Eyes" have it!

    Rubbe, Just a note - If you want to paint the foam, don't forget to use a sealer first and then paint them. This should solve your problem with soaking. I have found that a good primer will do the job and then I just grab my airbrush and have at it :) Best of luck...

    Pouring and plastic?

    If your just starting - resin might be an easier and safer way to start. It is very easy to make a half-round mold and fill it with colored resin. If you use clear resin yuo can paint the eye in from behind for a very realistic effect. Also, you can make eyes from Super Sculpy - which is...

    Arms~Length--WOW!!!

    I have just recently purchased thier "A" pattern and kit along with Dave's video (vhs unfortunately). The pattern is Top-notch for creating your own characters and building a truly professional puppet. They are pricey though but you get what you pay for. One draw back is that you may not sell...

    Covering fleece on advanced patterns

    The pattern for the fleece should be more basic and you will want to put the seams where they will be less noticable. As ravage says, if you drape and carefully cut (consider where your seams are) you should be able to make a better covering. Remember to put it to paper and it will save you time...

    Rod Arm Help

    Arm rods - Cont Well all, I have been researching and finally decided on a rod arm holder - taking bits and pieces from everything I learned here. I decided on square handles for better control - although I rounded the edges on my sander to give them a more comforatble feel. Looking at one of...
