Hi everyone! New guy here from the UK!

I've been interested in puppets since I was a kid watching The Muppets on TV (I remember watching Jim Henson on Blue Peter, thats how long ago that was!).

I've almost finished my first puppet - a little red guy made from different patterns (and probably over-engineered for a first puppet!) to 'get my eye in' as it were - practice for puppets I have plans to make!

I'll post some WIP pics over in Building with a little info.

Thanks for having me!

Welcome to Puppets and Stuff.......... can't wait to see pictures.

Hiya, from Texas.  Glad you've joined us.  Love your puppet post, very clever.

Welcome to PandS.  I already saw the pics of your first puppet. I think he is great!

Thanks for the warm welcome! Glad to hear you like the little guy, but I'll have to keep it quiet - he's a terror when he gets started!
You know what they say about redheads! And he's got small man syndrome! :D

BTW, I finally got to posting the pattern.

Thanks again!
Coz.

Welcome from Louisiana. Look forward to seeing your work.

Moin! From Northern Germany. Almost a neighbour... (Well, there is a ferry from Hamburg to Harwich). Have fun, this is a great site!

Wellcome from Portugal and Spain! , Great puppet!!!!

Thanks for sharing your patterns for the nose, tongue and throat!  Hmm... would that make you an otolaryngologists? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otolaryngology

Thanks everyone!
Shawn, I was so tempted to make an ear pattern! Ear Nose and Throat... but I can only stretch a gag so far!
