Yep, I'm taking the next step and going to start making some puppets. I am starting with The Glorified Sock Puppet because it most resembles Fraggle style. I'm starting with the pattern then I will let my creative side go I'll keep you posted and put pics when done.

Viel Erfolg! And have fun!

Well this is my very first start at building. I bought the Glorified Sock Puppet pattern from Project Puppets. I learned a lot already on things to improve. I guess we have to start somewhere

Congrats on your first puppet!  Looks pretty good.

Good start and PP sock puppet pattern is a good way to learn.

Congrats it is coming along nicely.

Looking good! Better be careful, this can become a serious addiction!

Good Job. Keep it up

Fun times!  He looks great.

Nice one! Somehow I see him as a turtle with a shell...

Wow, you learn a lot from your first build. If you read up you get even more ideas. I just almost finished my second one and it 100% better. I did arms first and sewed them in the seam with the body. It works much better. I can even sew better now
I can't wait for my next one. I blew the pattern up to 150% . So it should give me a nice size puppet. I plan on starting it later this week.
Thanks everyone for all the support and ideas.
