Ok folks - I'm giving away just 10 (!) patterns to test out my new muppet design. This is modeled on Jeff, pictured below. I'm releasing the pattern this time in sections, as I finish it, instead of all at once; so for the time being you'll only get the mouth pattern and I'll have the head done in about a week.

I'm also looking for suggestions: last pattern I made simple arms that were stuffed and had detachable rods. This time I'm thinking of including step-by-step instructions for using stuffed arms and rods attached via dolls' joints. This means that the difficulty of the pattern will increase: are people ok with that, or do you think I should stick with the simpler version of arms/rods?

This pattern will include clothing patterns too; probably just the t-shirt though, since I'm not going to do a full-bodied puppet.

Anyway, first come first served: 10 patterns only to give away.

Na,

Wonderful idea...is it for sale? I would like to get the pattern & try some Indian Characters....
I have made some foam heads using Jon's pattern. Yet to develop the characters.

Cheers

The pattern *will be* for sale in the future, but I'm giving away 10 patterns for testing purposes *before* it goes on sale.

Hi Na!

I'd be glad to test your pattern for you.

Great- PM me with your email address and I'll send the stuff to you.

Me too!

Thanks Miguel; that's 2 gone and 8 left!

I wouldn't mind trying one out as well.

Thanks!

Wonderful Michelle - PM me your email address (did you get my last giveaway? If so, I can't seem to find your info)

I'm heading to bed (it's 1.30am here), so I'll check this thread tomorrow morning; anyone who PMs me or replies to this thread will be taken as first come first served based on the order in which the messages are sent/replied. There's 7 patterns left.
