I love the owl !!!!  I can't wait to see it in action.  I would like to make a blinking puppet some time and I am especially interested in how you did your owl Nikole - please don't wait too long before posing a video!!!

I didn't want to get off topic but I will go ahead and reply to what my owl is made of.  It is actually a car washcloth mitt.  I already sold it and I bought up the whole store to make more.  My hubby made a video of my owl.  Thanks for viewing it.  It was a lot of fun making the eyes move.  THANK GOODNESS for this AWESOME tutorial!!!



Aloha,
Nikole

I'm adding my build to the mix: here's a short post about my experience using the tutorial:

Where did you find the second video, the one with the blinking eyes and moving eyebrows? Is there a tutorial for that one as well. I like the blinking eyes, they move very well.

I found it via google. I was checking my web stats, and one person had found my site by typing in 'blinking eye puppet'. I sometimes check the results because they show where in the results my site appears; but also it throws up previously unseen gems.

I tried to contact the person who made the video, to ask them if there was a tutorial, but no reply yet (I only found it a few days ago)... I didn't see a tutorial offered by them on Youtube.
