Very cool puppet, love the boots!  I'll have to take a look at the Sculpey Bake and Bend.  One reason I never use it for hand is that it was brittle and would break. What is the head made out of?  It almost looks like it was felted.

Welcome home Chris!  Too bad you could not have met up with one of our UK members while you where in London.

Well, there is puppet-mart that does offer good prices I think. $14.95 per yard for a minimum of 4 yards. If not, its $15.95 per single yard.

Yes you are correct.  Matt over at Puppet Mart is currently offering it at $14.95. http://www.puppet-mart.com/  It might be worth getting in on that deal before he has to raise his price.

Although it is next month I'll go ahead and congratulate you now to stick with the tradition.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!  You you have/had a great one!

Happy New Year everyone. I had thought about having fireworks or something but then the time got away from me.

How about knitting hair?  There and some really cool yarns out there that if knitted might make a really cool "wig" for puppets. I am not sure how a Knit Master works but if you can knit up caps that may be the pattern to use for this.

Ok this video has nothing to do with puppets but I found it amusing and very inventive. It shows that something very simple can be entertaining. Found this while checking out Alex's favorites. http://www.youtube.com/user/TheAlexTN

I just realized I had been watching these and had not even commented on them here.   They really are fun.  Keep the holiday cheer coming! 

I didn't even notice the music the first time I visited since I had my volume off, but yes it plays.   Good job.  So yabbies are like lobsters?  I take it that blue tongues are a type of lizard in Australia.  I recognized all the other animals but those where new to me.
