I happen to get the following links for three old books
on puppetry.These can be downloaded in PDF form.

http://www.archive.org/details/manualofpuppetry017904mbp

http://www.archive.org/details/tonysargmarionet00mcis

http://ia301121.us.archive.org/2/items/bookofmarionette00jose/bookofmarionette00jose_bw.pdf

I have no idea if someone already suggested the links. I felt besides pattern even books are also a good
resource for puppet building.

Enjoy...

As a teenager I used to take the first book listed above out all the time (they didn't have much of a selection) I had slowly made it through it.  A little bit of a dry read but the pictures brought back all of these memories when I was looking at it on the computer.

Thanks for sharing the free books it is nice to view them.

Does anybody knows where I can find the Hansjurgen fettig´s books? I know they are no longer available, but maybe an old copy of it. Or maybe a PDF file. I´ve tried PoA and Ray Da Silva puppet books without a success.
Thanks all.

Bhanu thank you for sharing the books. I love them!

On a daily basis do a Google search for this book "to buy" and hopefully you will get a catch.  It will be around the price of $100.00 or more.  There really isn't a "place" to go to get it, it is a matter of luck and how quick you are at getting it.

Good luck with your search.

I downloaded and printed the Manual of Puppetry book, then took it downtown and had it bound.  It is from 1936, but there is a LOT of good stuff in there.  Just reading it gave me a lot of inspiration.

The Foam Book can't be downloaded for free. You have to purchase it: try Amazon.

Egg Puppet


I divided a plastic Easter egg in half pieces. This is top and bottom. If you want it long ways just cut a styro egg in half and cover with fabric.

bompartxtreme1,

Billy's suggestion is pretty good.  I am curious which BlogTV session you are speaking about? Was it one of Daryl's?  His is the channel shown in the left column.

The only one I could think off is maybe the nose video....I didn't do any other tuck method as far as I am aware off....sorry give me more details or put a link in here of what you were looking at and I would be glad to help you out....or anyone else could as well.

Are you talking about this method of making a nose?
nose1nose2nose3nose4
With the above method you would simply cut the fabric in an oval or egg shape instead of round.
