Meet... I don't have a name yet. I'm very proud of this one. Still missing his body, arms (I might even do legs) and clothing. But I love the expression on his face. Nothing fancy really.
 

Love it!

Maybe not fancy, I don't know about foam puppets, but so expressive. He looks like he's been playing all night on his Computer. I had a neighbour once who looked like that in the Morning...

He is great. He does have a really nice expression.  Love the shape of his head.

Great job! I hope he has good dentist.......... LOL

That would be me. And that means... No .

Thanks for the nice words guys!

Love it...  What did you use for the teeth?  

I used a sheet of white craft foam. Just cut a strip and then round out the teeth. Glued it to his mouth with hot glue.

The body is completed. However, I'm not sure whether I want glove hands or regular stuffed puppet hands. I haven't tried gloved hands yet, so I'm kinda careful because I don't want to screw it up. Do you basically just make arms and sew on the gloves with a sleeve so that the performer's arm cannot be seen? Any hints?

Oh, I think gloved hands would look great with this puppet.  I agree with the others. Very expressive face!
There are a couple of methods to add gloved hands, but I'm not a good "explainer".  I'm sure there are some drawings on here somewhere and I'm sure Billy will find them if so!

Very nice, happy dude.  Isn't there an rule that foam puppets usually have 4 fingers instead of 5? We used T arm shirts for human arm puppets where the human's elbow connects to the puppet's elbow.

Do you have any pics? From what I can gather from Ernie, for example, they attached the glove where the wrist would be. I might be misreading it though...

Looks like the puppeteer joins Ernie from the elbow.

Joel is correct that the elbow is where you would enter the puppets lower arm and then into the glove. The top part of the arm is stuffed.  Often on a puppet like Cookie monster the body it is a bit different and more of a wide triangle with the hands at the bottom of the triangle so  you are entering the hands kind of from below the puppet.

Found a few examples for you in the Gallery.  Actually the first one I found was a bit how you envisioned it instead of how Ernie is done.



This second one is like what I explained Cookie Monster would be. Ok so maybe not quite a triangle.
