Here are two shots of the the prototype I made. As I said before, he's without arms. I like how he turned out, though, despite that rather noticeable impediment.

Looks good, mrhogg! Don't tell me that some of the other puppets in your photo album were made from Project Puppet patterns and you didn't send them in to the Project Puppet gallery!!!! Just a subtle nudge.

Seriously, I'd love to put them in the gallery, but ultimately it's up to you. Great work! You've been busy!

They were, in fact, made from project puppet patterns. I haven't got the hand-rods attached to any of them yet. As soon as I do that, I'll send over some pics for the gallery.

Thanks!

We should all try to build a puppet from this pattern in a day... sort of a 24-hour puppet exercise. It'd be interesting to see all the variations from essentially the same starting point.

well here is mine so far. i still have to make the arms. i'm just not looking forward to sewing his pinguers, too time consuming, but hopefully they will be done by the end of the week. I didnt have ping pong balls wich i rather use, i want to make him a frog, but not kermit (although it was my intention to make him more like kermit) he still looks very cute and my daughter named him brandon.

That's a great idea, Melonpool. I'm in. We would just have to set a date - probably on the weekend. Or maybe we could hold a contest. Would anybody be interested in a contest? A glorified sock puppet contest...all using the same pattern...original characters...public vote for winners. Just an idea.

Glad your having fun video567!
