Making spheres

[Sweep]

Hi
For those of you looking for patterns to make ball shapes for heads or bodies here's a tip - do a search for instructions on making juggling balls. Many sites contain patterns for making four panel juggling balls which make good spherical shapes. Try this one:

looks good, thanks for the find!!

I think Buck Beaver also has some spherical patterns for foam on his site.

Well they're not really patterns, but, yeah I kinda do! The URL is http://www.geocities.com/angrypuppets/tumbles_project.htm.

Hey, Buck, did you ever get to the part about fixing up the innards?

Buck-Beaver, would you happen to other puppet makeing guides.

Sorrry?

Translation (because people like me who play with rubber chickens understand what the odd posts say):

"Do you have any links to other puppet making sites, be they your own or someone else's?"

Or, maybe they wanna know if Buck has other muppet making diagrams/guides available?

The best place to look for links is The Puppetry Homepage. A couple of years ago my web site used to have a section called "The Puppet Bin" where the construction process for different types of puppets was discussed step-by-step. I'll take a look through my archieve and see if I still have the HTML files.

So far I've found one of the tutorials I mentioned in my previous post. It's more of an overview though. It's for constructing 14'0 giant puppets, which are actually really cool.

It's now posted here.
