Puppets and Stuff... A Community On The Web For Puppeteers!

Welcome fellow puppeteers! For over five years now we have been serving up puppet related content for puppet lovers, makers and enthusiast. The design of the site has undergone many transformations but the initial intent of the site has always been to serve up puppet related information. Many of the users here at Puppets and Stuff have their own sites, blogs or forums and we love to hear about them. There are many here that are puppet makers and you can find puppets for sale either on their own sites or on e-bay auctions they hold.

The heart of the puppet community here is the Forum where you can find tons of information from the history of puppetry to how to market your own puppet company. We discuss just about everything that is related to puppets and puppet theater. You can see the last five topics that where posted in the left hand column. You might be able to tell by the listing that puppetry often involves other abilities other then just how to build or manipulate a puppet. You can find areas to talk about staging, sound, lighting and even other forms of childrens entertainment like story telling, clowning or magic. We feel it is all relative and can enhance your puppeteering skills. There are even members here that are not exclusively puppeteers but deal in such connected art forms as doll making, animation, movie making and other crafts that seem to fit right in. That in part is "Stuff" part of the site.

Not every puppet maker or puppeteer can afford their own web site and we also try to provide ways they can get the word out about what they have to offer. There is a calendar where puppeteers can post upcoming shows, workshops or other puppet events. We also encourage users to post information on the calendar when they learn of puppetry festivals and events that they may be planning to attend.

I'll be broadcasting today at 10AM CT over at blogTV.  I've been painting the heads for the marionette tutorial done on Daryl's Puppets Live the last couple days on camera and thought I would schedual the last one and let everyone know ahead of time. Smiley  Hope to see you there!  http://www.blogtv.com/People/puppetsandstuff

Puppet Gallery and Puppet Projects!

We really like pictures here and there are many ways you can share images of your puppets with others. The forum allows you to insert images from your web site or photo services. If you don't have a web site or do not use a photo service you can upload and attach photos to a post! We have tried to make it easy to share content on other sites and the posting screen has options for inserting your puppet videos from sites like YouTube, announce e-bay auctions or feature a book on Amazon.

One very exciting area of the forum is for folks to post about Puppet Projects they are working on. Users will often start of with the announcement that they are creating a new puppet or puppet show and then proceed to lead everyone through the process. Below is an example of what you might see in that area!

Yep, I made yet ANOTHER puppet!!  I actually find making them relaxing.  My friend Crystal was bored at work and we were chatting online, so I decided to record Joe singing one of her favorite songs to cheer her up and keep her entertained.  Just a warning, I am NOT a very good singer - but I had fun and was able to test my puppetry skills a little bit more.  I'm gonna post a link to the video - hope you all enjoy!

Purpose And Mission
