I thought this would be a great place to post stuff you may find that is free and in pdf format or different files that are free to be used by others. Make sure that it states that it is free to be used on your website and always give that person credit for your find. It is sharing ideas of others that keeps all our crafts alive.

I just found these from Doll Street Dreamers....... Thank You.

Hey:

Interesting page Billy.  The article at the bottom about using a grid to size patterns is what I was talking about in another thread when I mentioned "squaring up"  which is the scenic designer/prop masters slang for the technique.  A similar technique involves diagonals (see Henning Nelms' scenic design book, a Dover publication, for details).

One of my hobbies is collecting free stuff from the web.  I'll see what I have on file that might be of interest to this forums membership.

Lately I have been more into doll making which I think is closely related to puppets and marionettes.  Here is a quick find for free doll patterns:

Well, I am sure your skills are all passed the the finger puppet, but here is a contribution from me anyways!

This is not really puppet related but for you movie buffs..... Here is a sight to download free movies that are now public domain. They are a lot of oldies.

Oh and speaking of movies.....trying NOT to change the subject too much but I was just at Walmart tonight and found two great DVDs for only $1 each.  The first was HOWDY DOODY and the second was of course the wonderful and talented SHERRI LEWIS AND LAMBCHOP.  I bought both....how could I resist???

If anyone doesn't have it at their local walmart, I will be happy to pick up a copy or two for you and of course only charge you exact cost plus exact shipping costs to your location.  There are a lot of them at my local Walmart.  I guess I am the only one in the area that is THAT much into puppetry....HA HA HA.

Aloha,
