Miguel,

A nice idea which we used in the workshop. The nose of Frency and the doctor is not the original nose from the pattern from Nice Braga. We made a triangle piece of 5 mm foam about 7 cm big, which we glued all the way on the back and the sides. Then we took the two sides (points, so one point is still on the top) and pushed it to the middle. This we we got nostrils. Then you glue it on the puppet and there you have a beautiful real looking nose. This nose gives the puppet an adult look. The original nose is more a kids nose.

Try it!

And for Johian! Super winkel he.. ik word daar een beetje hebberig van. Alles is zo mooi om bij de poppen te gebruiken. De wimpers zijn namelijk ook leuk! Als je nog leuke adresjes hebt...

Sorry people but I'm going to speak in my own language too.
I've been a long time away.............. my family needs me. We are in the proces to make the life to live better for my autistic daughter. I was a very hard time but slowly it changed here a little bit in a good working familiy.

Hee Dutch puppet. Ik heb je site gezien en het ziet er heel goed uit. LEuk die workshops, je woont nu net iets te ver weg om even langs te wippen. Wij hebben hier geen carnaval dus ik zit boven de rivieren. Gaaf die pruiken... Ik moet nog steeds mijn eerste pop maken als je de eerste pogingen die gestrand zijn vergeet, Binnenkort hoop ik het zou erg goed gebruikt kunnen worden in het gezin.

En inderdaad hier in Nederland is weinig de leukste stoffen moet je op de lappenmarkten halen zeker nu in carnavaltijd. Utrecht is er echt goed voor.

O ja je had het een tijd geleden over andere lijm dan contactlijm welke gebruik jij, die blijft toch soepel ? die van jou dan.

zeg groetjes

I love this!

Hoi Gompie!

Ik heb je inderdaad gemist. Je vertelde al dat je je tijd nu hard nodig had voor je gezin... Ik hoop dat alles goed gaat en dat je toch wat tijd voor jezelf kunt vinden! Leuk dat je mijn site bekeken hebt! Er wordt veel gekeken maar verder toch nog weinig reakties. Ik ben bang dat veel mensen er toch niet uit begrijpen dat als er een groepje van ongeveer 5 personen in een bepaalde plaats is, dat ik best bereid ben om die kant op te komen (afhankelijk van de afstand)...

Wees trouwens voorzichtig met het maken van een eigen handpop; het werkt verslavend!!! Je wilt er meer en meer, vooral als je alle mogelijkheden wilt benutten!

Groetjes,
Dutch Puppet

Translated in English:

Hi Gompie!

Yes, I've missed you! You wrote earlier that your family needed you... I hope everything is going well and that you find some time for yourself! Nice that you've looked at my website! There are many people visiting but still not many reactions. I'm afraid that people don't understand that with 4 people or more I am willing to come to them (depending on the distance)...

By the way: Be carefull with making your own puppet! It can become an addiction! You want to have more and more, especially if you want to try all the different possibilities!

For all who want to know what kind of glue I've used. I went to the local shoemaker and he has perfect glue for foam. It is invisible and don't get stiff. It is the same which he uses for gluing the soles of shoes. (don't forget to put on some ventilation or else you get very happy after gluing a whole puppet)

Don't worry I'm addicted already and I only made a few puppets who went wrong.
Yes I have a little time for my self 2 seconds a day enough time to long to make a puppet who is for years in my head.

BY the way did you go to the shoemaker and ask for the glue ? is it in pots tube or do you need to bring your on pot to poor it in? Do you have a name of that glue?

My two seconds are gone so I have go. 

I realy love this site

And I just made a plan to go saterday to a material market in Utrecht you can find the most wonderful materials there now because of the carnaval.

You guys use a lot of vowels...they dont cost extra do they?

Amsterdam is Awesome! When I was there, being from the US, I'm used to haveing ice in my drinks. There, they think I'm weird. They dont use ice....or have aircondition. Ouch.
 Great history and the performance center there is something to experience.The Van Gogh museum is fabulous.

I don't know about ice in the drinks, but I read in a couple of places that you can just about ice skate across the Netherlands in the wintertime because it is so flat, and because of the canal system and other waterways. I also read that because the country is so flat that it is easy to bicycle just about anywhere there, and that many people do. Fun means of transportation, and a great way to stay in shape.

 

(Pretend it's a bike helmet)

I only use a bicycle, we dn't even have a car. A kid in a frontseat a kid on the backseat on my bike and a kid in a special car for my bike.
Yes we can iceskate here in t he winter outside (we still need ice) . We don't often uise helmet on the bikes. Small kids learn to cycle when they are very young. You have bikes for one years old (my son has it too)

And I don't like amsterdam it is too big, to busy and a behaviour I don't like drugs alcohol etc etc

At last I found rubber cemtent and it's here pictureglue !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Neat  work....Frency is very cute ...I like her a lot. What is she going to say??
