Thanks, really thanks for those tutorials. Great job to share!

Excellent, Jon! I love the style of those little guys. Beautiful work!

Thanks everybody.  It was so much fun building the dogs and recording the videos.  I have completed the patterns and am offering them to puppets and stuff members for 15.00.  Check out the thread I've started for the patterns for instructions or questions.

I am absolutely stunned.  I guess I never really expected anyone to notice my work but Puppeteers Unite featured my Prairie Dog videos today in their blog.  How cool is that.  Almost makes me feel like I know what I'm doing.  Which I obviously don't because I said it would be a while before I could get the patterns ready and the next day they were done (it was easier to do than I had thought).

Jon, don't underestimate yourself. You do very good work and the videos are excellent! So nice to see that others are noticing you.

Thanks Shawn.  I guess everything I've done so far has been mostly for my own interest and pleasure.  Sharing is art of that for me, that's why I like P&S so much, the sharing is a wonderful part of the experience.  To have someone appreciate what I do for my own pleasure is a wonderful and unexpected bonus.

This afternoon I make time to watch the tutoral......
It looks great !!!!!!

I saw the first five now and I love it, great tutoral. It is a problem to hold my eyes open now so I have to stop but I watch later tomorrow....

I watched the first one and will need to find time to watch the rest.
Thanks for these!  They look great!
