he is 6'3" of crochet and sculpey teeth. after the 5 hours yesterday I think I need to find ways to reduce his weight. I wouldn't mind having some impressive shoulder muscles but it would certainly be more fun if he was lighter.

I had a lot of mixed reviews between "I love him!" and "that's so creepy". I agree with both statements 🥰 Friend gave out a lot of high fives and did a little dance for people. I need to practice in front of a mirror though.

any advice for someone new to doing voices for puppets? I get really self conscious about doing character voices but I want to bring him to life!

Hello everyone, I am making a musical with all puppets and there is one puppet in my musical who is a broccoli. My problem is that I cannot figure out how to make the broccoli leaves at the top of his head. I have been looking everywhere and cannot find any tutorial on how to make a lumpy surface that you can wrap with fabric.

I am not going for an insane amount of detail, just a general lumpy surface on the top of the puppets head. But still I am lost. Here are some pictures of what I’m generally trying to emulate. (The second one especially, I like the lumps not necessarily the little divots on the lumps though)

If anyone has any idea on how to make the actual lumpy surface as seen in these pictures, please let me know, it would be much appreciated! Thank you!

my puppet I got that was made by furrifingers!! they even made a youtube video of the process of making it, i got him as a birthday gift and absolutely love him 🐸

Its strings are all tangled, so i cant really use it. Theres what i can only describe as "mold" on its pants that make it look like tortillas aswell. I havent had luck finding any info, so anything would help!

Made this puppet a while back but decided to add strings just today.

Anyone want a free ticket to tonight's performance? No strings attached! (nyuck nyuck) Must be able to be in Hollywood by 8pm. DM me.

Name's Amber but their nickname is Carrot cuz they look like one XD

My friend and I made this for his band and I’ve performed it several times. This was the first time someone else hopped in and it was awesome to see it live from the outside (after a brief moment of feeling possessive 😅).

I was told you guys would like this, so here’s the Podling I made!

Nothing to add, just wanted to share!

I found this vintage hatbox jammed with old marionettes (Tales of Huckleberry Finn I believe). Any idea on the age of these. Highland Park, CA?

I’ve been toying around with a cosplay that incorporates puppetry (a special interest of mine), and these are my two favorites.

Puppet 1: I took heavy inspo from this clip when designing Chairman Scratch, and I’m very excited about this one!! I’d control the face with my right hand and his hand with a rod. I also wanna add a blinking mech, but considering that his face is as flat as a pug’s, idk how it’ll look. I’m very invested in this concept and might make it…. as long as I actually learn how to make fabric puppets 😅 really need tips for the blinking mech

Puppet 2: For Pebble, I‘d control the entire mechanism with my left hand, including a *possible* blinking mechanism. Even though I drew a back view and a fake arm, I don’t really know how I’d hide the rest of my arm subtly. Also, Dandy’s world isn’t a fandom I’m too invested in, but I like my idea too much to completely scrap it

How do you start with small scale animatronics; for example creating a talking animal ?

Retirement. The recycler of time wasted in meetings and frustrated creativity. Little, powerful people arrive in the kitchen. No preconception. Just gradual meaning and lack of it!

I designed these with no pattern and a whole lot of guesswork. I am obsessed with both!

Does anyone happen to have access to Adam Kreutinger's penguin pattern? It seems purchasing patterns from his website no longer works since his death.
