Hey hey everyone. Been lurking around the forum for a month or so, just looking up some puppet building resources, tutorials, etc.  I've always been real big into puppets, but never actually took the step to build one or learn how to puppeteer.  I kinda hope to change that as I recently came up with a couple ideas I wanna flesh out (and by fleshout, I mean, BUILD PUPPETS).  So I hope I can get some help when the time comes and I stop procrastinating (or have some money to get the supplies ).

  so glad that you stopped lurking and brought yourself forward.  We love to help everyone....so don't be shy ask away or add any comments.....we also love to see pictures of your work when you are done.

Hehe, awesome, I always knew my lurking skills would be put to a good use someday

Actually, the first puppet I actually want to work on is a simple hand puppet of my avatar, ZombiePencil.  More like a specialized glove since it lacks a face or anything, but might be a bit more like Thing from the addams family.  i just need to find some good materials first.

Greetings and welcome.
I have to say I quite like your user name and image/avatar.

Are you thinking of making the puppet so that it can write with the pencil out it's back?

Most likely it will not be a working pencil.  The ZombiePencil puppet will most likely be nothing but a fancy glove probably, we'll see
