Rock Time 2009 Puppets Posted by Vermy on Jun 01, 2009
Hi folks.

While I've been lurking for a bit on this forum, this is my first post.

I'm a relatively new puppet builder, I've made about 4 now, and started by randomly sewing a fun fur sack together and then stuffing foam into it.

Through extensive online tutorial reading, a projectpuppet purchase and just recently the Dr Puppet tutorials, I've refined my process a bit.

So I'd like to share my puppets with you guys!

Mick 2

This is Mick, he's the lead in a Toronto Kids Fringe play that is coming up this July!
His head is an original foam pattern, his ears and body are Dr. Puppet inspired!
His hair is chunky yarn. I sewed a fishnet wig cap to his head and rug hooked & tied individual strands of yarn through the holes. It gives him this awesome bounce when he moves.

The show is a mix of puppets & human actors, and I'm working on a few more characters to round out the cast. I'll post pictures of them as I work on them!

Thanks for being such a knowledgeable community... I've learned a lot from you guys...

Hi Vermy,

Wow, your puppet is really awsome!!! I can easily imagine the bounce in his hair. You really did a great job! Welcome to our community. And as you know, ask any questions and there will always be somebody who will know the answer or at least point you to the right direction where to get it.

YAY, another fellow Canadian :D:D:D

Wow, Mick is amazing! Hard to believe you've only made four puppets

Welcome by the way!

Great method on his hair.  I kept trying to think of a base to ventilate (latchook) a puppet wig. Fishnet wig cap or for that matter even fishnet hose is just brilliant!

I agree with Daryl I like the absence of a nose.
