"Art of the Muppets" puppet build scans Posted by Coz_UK on Jul 15, 2012
Okay, so I got this (now well out of print) book the other day, and have been mining it for build info pics!
I scanned & enlarged the pics as some are really small.

Large scans in my Photobucket album here:

Some images I found really interesting:
Message Image
Balsa or hard foam palms? Hard mouthplate which encloses the hand?!

Message Image
Fingertubes! Eye mech! Reticulated foam!
Think that's the only foam chin pattern I've seen!

Hard to believe the book is 32 years old!

Luckily the SF Bay Area Puppeteer's Guild has a copy in their library so I was able to borrow it. Definitely a great book but I do admit to being a little disappointed at how quick of a read it is. I would definitely recommend "Jim Henson: The Works" though. Simply inspiring.

Heya! I didn't mean to give the impression that the book is chock full o' build pics - sorry if it came out that way. I was just surprised how even a 32 year old book can show something new!
I assumed the book to be fairly well known among puppet peeps.
I have The Works on order, expecting it any time.
