Lola,
Did you order this as a result of me posting about it or had you heard about it before?  If you did order after I posted, I have to say that is pretty good turn around on delivery!

P.S. Love the shot of the fabric in the background. Just like at the fabric store it is organized by color.

I'm jealous!  I can't wait to order some samples to play with!

I ordered it on Sunday night, but from Dazian. They are close by, but I wasn't expecting it this fast.

I wonder if these products would work in puppet mouthplates?  Can't wait to try some. Thank you, thank you, best find of the year!

I asked for a sample too but I hope they will send it....(or bring it by boat)

I wonder if these products would work in puppet mouthplates?

Not sure if they are the right product for a mouth plate or not. I guess maybe if you used the Wonderflex and the method the Cosplayers do for armor it might work.

I found the tutorial  (posted on the last page-page 2)about the bioplactic, some time this year. I have tried it. It is an interesting material, but it is not really moldable stuff (although it is possible)Because you cook the goo, and it has to dry out.It takes quite a while to dry, so it shrinks and may even crack if it is thick. It does dry semi flexible though. I have some blobs of it kicking around the patio, waiting for some inspiration as to what to use it for.

Yea I looked into some of the other information and videos on the subject and it looked like maybe it might be limited in it's uses. There is one lady that makes sheets of it then cuts it out to make jewelry. Looks like she had to do a lot of experimenting with the recipe to get something she liked.

Okay, used a little bit of the wonderflex. It is addictive. Here's a blog post, if you want to see what I did with it:

That was very interesting! Did you make the hair wefts yourself? I like the way the wig turned out.

Cool! And it is nice that your hubby checks on you to make sure you're not dead. My wife sort of does the same with me. Well a little over a year ago we all nearly perished from carbon monoxide poisoning. Everyone else in the house had gone to bed except me (the night owl) and when I passed out and hit a wall adjoining the bedroom she woke and called an ambulance ultimately saving me, herself, my daughter, son-in-law and grandson. I only tell this whole tale so you'll understand why now she ALWAYS sleeps with the bedroom door open so she can more easily hear if I should pass out again anytime soon. Silly lady. On that fateful night when she was awakened by my falling, the door was closed, but she's not taking any chances I guess.

The wig turned out great! So a hair dryer worked ok?  I was wondering if it would get hot enough. 

Great to hear your husband looks out for you.   @Puppetainer Wow what a story... did she also make you buy a carbon monoxide alarm after that?

Billy - Yep, made these a while ago, and have been waiting to use them. I learned how to from the youtube tutorial here:

How to make hair wefts on your sewing machine (Just make sure to take out the pins before you run it through). I did a couple of basic stitches and then secured the top with a line of hot glue. I also trimmed off the extra ribbon.

Puppetainer - Glad everything worked out. Super scary!

Shawn - I have a heat gun, but wanted to use the hair dryer since it doesn't heat up as much, and would leave the fabric with more flexibility. I thought it would be a bad thing to make it super rigid, and to watch it pop while the puppet was moving. I think for standard, rigid uses, I will probably have to use the heat gun.

And, yeah, my husband is awesome. He knows me well enough to come check on me now and then. I have had a couple of craft mishaps, but my main problems are things like losing track of time and not eating/sleeping/etc.

Marc? How did you do this? Happy that you came out alife- if I was your wife, I'd get a baby phone instead of leaving the door open!

Sorry for steering this thread off the rails with my crazy story! This should answer a couple of questions/comments.

The furnace needed cleaning and so it was causing a lot of carbon monoxide build up. To answer Shawn's suggestion we do indeed have 2 carbon monoxide detectors now. And Rikka let's not give my wife any ideas! As it is I have to try and be a bit more quiet than I usually would while I work on puppets at night. It was a scary event but after a night in the hyberbaric chamber we were all perfectly fine. Of course being unemployed I now have a rather large bunch of hospital bills that I'm going to be paying off for a while, but beats leaving a bunch of funeral expenses. I'm quite delighted to be around to pay the bills! It happened on December 20th, 2010 so we just considered it our own Christmas miracle!
