I'm looking forward to seeing the end results for the varied ethnicity of your puppets. Could you elaborate on the problem you had with the 'cheap fleece'. I could never get or afford antron fleece and the fleece I'm using is quite nice, someone in the US bought it for around $8 a yard. I've order some more from a well known fabric store in the US that my BiL will bring when he comes, it was on sale last month, mmm, I hope it's ok and the quality it good, but you never can tell I guess, lol.

I bought some cheep fleece from Walmart that if you tired to hand sew, it would bull apart. It was extreamly stretchy which caused the arms when stuffed to be a lot larger then what I wanted. You should be safe since mine was 2.50 a yard (very cheap). The stuff that worked best for me was an anti pile fleece from JoAnns that was between 4.50 to 9.50 a yard.

Ah, that's a relief I bought a lot from Hancocks, they had a sale on in September, the price was really good, but I haven't seen it yet, I was hoping you hadn't bought yours from there.

I'm sure thats a big relief. While I am at it, here is Pablo, the Spanish puppet of the TGR Puppets gang.

Hey Archangel, saw your site, very clean layout, simple to navigate, looking good. One thing though, you should change the spelling of 'sponcers' to 'sponsors' and put a capital U for your About Us and Contact Us links, sorry to nitpick, but I design websites for my real job and tend to notice everything, lol.

Hi Archangel. I noticed on the About Us page a typo. They teach the crowd . Also, does TGR stand for anything? If it has a spiritual meaning, you may want to let people know what it is.
Also, just some things to think about. I know you are in the start up phase, so to me, now is the time things can be changed. In MY experience with missions trips, just like with the Muppets(TM), you may want to stay away from the realistic skin colors and go to other colors that aren't skin tones. I LOVE how you are creating stories and backgrounds for the puppets. But, there's a chance a stereotype could slip in, or people may stereotype that character. I would continue with the "he is short and gets picked on", but drop where he's from (Mexico). Also, the more that you are making the puppets into this is who they are and THIS is how you should do it, there's a chance they may think that's the only way to do it. Right now, YOU have the vision for the puppets. You are trying to help others catch your vision, along with them using the puppets to minister. Also let them know they can use the puppets with songs.
You are off to a great start. I pray that God blesses this new ministry.

Thank You Rosie, I fixed the area's you pointed out. PLEASE NITPICK, thats how we all improve. Take care and God bless.Hi Archangel, but I noticed that the work "sponsor" is still spelled incorrectly (twice). Once in the text content and once in the sub heading. Good luck with this adventure!
