hello im living now on the treasure coast of florida. I accidentally took a puppetry course in high school that i liked, and grew up on sesame street and the muppets and fraggles. I have always been artistic and creative and when asked to do some puppets stuff for some kids at church i jumped at the chance. However when i saw the quality of what i had to work with, i said o no this wont do, and then i got on the net. Having had built one years and a deacde ago i knew where to put the arms and stuff the head and such... but was aghast at the prices people wanted for puppets and patterns, so, i tried it myself and by the fourth or fifth attempt and the third actual keeper puppet, realized i might have a talent at this. I have been making them as i can, ever since and i only want them to get better and better. I have twelve or so puppets now, and am in no hurry to stop, i am delving into the paneuverable hands and arms puppets now, ala fozzie bear, ernie and suchg where there hands can add to the comedic abilities. I have a long way to go but as soon as i figure out this place i will post some pictures. Have a good day.
