As a beginner I love to look through the gallery.  I noticed that the pattern used for the puppets created is never mentioned.  I realize some people create their own, some use freebies and other purchase them.  I am wondering if it is possible in the future to post where you got your pattern or if you created it on your own with the picture.  It would be so, so, so helpful for us as beginners (or at least to this beginner).  It would be helpful to have that information so I would know where to start.  Is that possible?

Yes it is possible.  When people upload images they can add whatever text they want to the image so hopefully in the future folks well do that.  In fact I encourage people  to add as much information about the image as they can when uploading instead of just adding the image.

I'll do that to mine.  It's a good idea.

I went in and updated my gallery. I gave the link to you tube for the free pattern. The build along pattern from our member here is under the build along section for download, a lot of my puppets are my creations but will be glad to share how I built them. I am working on a new pattern and series of kits that will be geared primarily for beginners. You will be able to buy the pattern or patterns, fabric kits which will include everything you need to make a puppet, and upgrade features such as mouth plate kits, and different type eyes and hair. I hope to have these ready soon................. The pattern is still in the finishing design stage. My goal is to keep these kits at a reasonable price for the budding puppeteers that are just learning to build puppets. I'm working on some final details.

I updated my gallery with descriptions for my muppets. The rest are pretty much self explanatory that a pattern wasn't used.
