Hi, my name is Madison! I'm fifteen, and I 'm brand new to puppet-making this summer. It's something I've always been really interested in, and I can't wait to learn some new things here!
 

Hi Madison! Welcome to this little corner of the internet where puppets rule! I hope you find lots of helpful information here, and that you will share what you are doing. You say that you are brand new to puppet making this summer, did you make anything this summer? Love to know about it, and pictures are always cool!

Hey Chris! I haven't finished any full projects yet, just little experiments and prototypes(: I'll definitely post pictures when I finish a puppet, though!

Welcome to Puppets and Stuff! Feel free to ask if you have any questions. Will one of your parents be working on projects with you? The only reason I am asking that is because often when starting out it is helpful if you know someone who has sews who can help out with teaching sewing techniques.

Nope, I'm going it pretty much alone. But I've been researching for months, and I'm a better seamstress than both of my parents combined, haha(: And I've already found a few threads on here to help fill in the gaps. I'm very excited to get officially started and work on some full-on puppets!

Welcome to P&S! There's plenty of information on here to get you started so happy building!

Good luck with them! It's so fun to think up a character and then build it and bring it to life. Everyone here is great. I can't wait to see your puppets.

Have fun !

Welcome Madison! I wish I had gone through with my building when I was 17. I kind of envy you!

Welcome Madison. Enjoy the addiction that is puppet building! Can't wait to see your work!

Just have fun at it!!  I'm new too!
