Hi,

Does anyone have any info, or diagrams on how one can create simple moving/blinking eyes for a foam puppet head?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :embarrassed:)

Check out Mike Brose's site - Figure Making Can Be Fun. He has some good diagrams for making Eye Mechs for Vent dummies that you might be able to apply to your puppet. I think they are on the site under "Fun Stuff."

Oh, and if you want to learn alot about mechs for puppets, the book version of "Figure Making Can Be Fun" is well worth the $34.95 if you can afford it.

The posted site seems to be disabled. Is this link no longer valid or does anyone know if it is just temporary?

Thank You Buck-Beaver. I have looked thoughout muppet Central searching old Posts as you have shared to do when searching puppet mechs, however this has happend on almost all links of past discussions. Your profile keeps popping up when a search is being done. Since many of the links are no longer valid is there any chance you know the updated links to other mech building info?
