It's Steve!!! Posted by TeddyBear on Jan 17, 2012
I named my first puppet after Steve perry from Journey because I thought he resembled him (a little). I used the roly puppet pattern from project puppet. Sadly I can't add a photo from my iPad so you can see him on my twitter or instagram. My name is Jonathan Diaddigo. Twitter @TheMrTeddybear instagram is the same user name. I think he turned out very nicely. I drew a pattern for the mouth which looks pretty good. Please go check it out and give me some feedback and Sugestions for my next one.

Just a random fact about my family: my grandma is a ventriloquist (she is really good) and was a regular on a TV show called "let's be friends" with her puppet Jerry. (she still has him and he is in perfect condition)

Nice to meat you Steve! Hmm... I really wish the upload button worked on Ipads and phones but alas it does not. There is an app though that should work on iPad called Tapatalk. I know it works on iPhones. Here is a link to the post I did about it. http://puppetsandstuff.com/community/index.php/topic,5831.msg55599.html#msg55599 Here is a direct link to thier main page and it has a link for iPad. http://tapatalk.com/index.php

Hi Jonathan. Well, what "genre" do you like? I go for fantasy, for example.

Welcome Steve. Sorry, I'm a bit behind the times..I don't have a twitter account and don't know what instagram is, so unfortunately I couldn't view your puppet. Sounds interesting though.
What a great heritage to have a Grandma so talented.

I'm with Julie! I don't twitter, my cell phone still has a rotary dial LOL. Welcome to Puppets and Stuff and bring Grandma to. I'm sure she has some delightful stories to share. Can't wait to see pictures.

Rikka- like puppet style?
Re: It's Steve!!! Posted by Rikka on Jan 18, 2012
Yes. I assume it would be nice to start where you see yourself. Horror, or comedy or Fantasy... or what. Every genre would have a staple of characters. You could do a mummy, vampire or zombie, an elf, dragon or dwarf or a clown or commedia dell'arte characters, respectively- just examples. Or you could put a short and simple story up and build the chars accordingly.
Billy, I'd love to see your cellphone!
