(@clowniepuppets on Instagram for more examples!) See my shop for more pre-made characters and designs! This puppet has recently had an update to its design, so review photos might differ slightly! This puppet now comes with a leaf sprout at the top of the head, instead of just a fur tuft! The ‘Lil Sprout’ puppet, professional quality, semi-customisable fur puppet, with multiple choices of fleece or fur colours! When choosing furs, please be aware that (S) means the fur is SHORT PILE, while (L) means it is LONG PILE. Based on the colours chosen, I will choose the leaf on top of the head to match, if you would like a specific leaf colour, please say in the notes section at checkout! This film quality puppet is perfect for beginners when performing, puppeteering, or can even be used as a buisness mascot or to help make children’s education more fun and lively! This puppet has all the essential features to help bring a character to life, beady eyes filled with personality, a firm mouth plate with elastic grips on the inside, perfect for showing expression, flexible arms with hand rods to allow a full range of arm movement, and posable fingers, so your puppet can hold things! Your puppet also comes with a care guide that fully explains how to care for your new puppet, and use it to its full potential! This design is 13” tall, approximately. If you would like an alternate design, there are more options of puppet types, designs and price ranges available in our shop!

Directions and patterns for making foam bodies for your puppets. Step-by-step DIY guide.
Create a large psi ball and charge it Then mold it into a person or a special puppet design of your own. Now if you want you can add weapons or shields to it. Maybe a secrect blade that comes out the mouth or arm. Now when done with that, then program it to not disperse. Now to control any puppet you need strings, so make long strings of psi come out your finger tips and attach them to a body part of the puppet. Try moving it around a little to get a feel for it. Once you have the hang of it try
Hello. Sorry for the lack of action recently, and thank you for all the marvellous comments from everyone relating to the last post. You're all ace. Back to business. What do we do in the school summer holidays? We make puppets! This recent find (by A.R. Philpott, pub. Evans Brothers London 1972) shows us how to go about it. But like the hasty child I am, I've ignored the 'Let's Make' parts and skipped to the 'Puppets' bit. The young man on the cover seems to be a little ... apprehensive about the relic on his arm. He doesn't seem to be able to ... stop looking at it. It's all pupaphobia you know (yes there is an official label for fear of puppets, although as my father would probably say "Whats the Latin for 'For God's sake pull yourself together?'") Maybe for a primary school production of 'The Fog'? I refer the Right Honourable Readers to my comments on Found Objects. I remember that glue. It ate into polystyrene and left a wonderful gummy cap over the nozzle when left for a while. It could also cause blindness and hallucinations. Be careful, little girl! Yeah yeah, nice puppet. It's the background I'm interested in; slatted wooden benches, smooth pebbledashing on concrete surfaces, hardy shrubs in containers, plastic-coated wire fences with gaps just big enough to fit the toe of your Clarks in ... Ladies & Gentlemen I give you the Seventies School Playground! The title of Janis Joplin's posthumous unreleased live album. Barely able to function after being parted from his puppet-master, the young boy sits slumped on a bench in the playground. I'd be catatonic as well if I had to untangle the wires of 'the metal tape creature' whilst Miss Goody Two Shoes gets to swoop about with the ace 'Let's Pretend'-style cat. Look at his knees. Pre-five pound jeans, these haven't been patched for the sake of fashion! 'The thing that stuck in young Jenkins' mind was the hands. As the apparition bobbed silently behind the chair towards him, he noticed that the hands, ostensibly shaped rosewood, had a peculiarly sinuous and lifelike quality. Indeed, Jenkins was almost convinced that he could see the tiny veins rising and falling slowly and miniature beads of moisture glistening among the folds of skin. The effect was as if some person unknown had replaced the puppet's hands with those of a large frog.' 'The Imp' by M.R. James from 'Ghost Stories of an Antiquary', 1904. I don't really fancy making puppets any more. Back soon with more handicraft, markets and shopping centres. And music. Check behind the sofa before you turn the light out tonight.

About A wonderful pair of hand crafted puppets by John Car, depicting Pierrot (little Peter) a clown character from European pantomime and his female equivalent Pierette. John was a fine wood carver and his wife Eva costumed the puppets, the marionettes where made around 1935/1945 and performed into the early 70's by John, Eva and their four children Marjorie, Nancy, Barbara and John (Junior) The puppets are not strung to be used, only for decorative purposes. Age related wear, fading and deterioration to the silk costumes, elderly repairs but complete with their original painted paper mache heads, carved pine bodies and cast lead feet. Size: 39cm in height.
If you haven’t seen it already, run, don’t walk to the Signature Theater and see David Shiner and Bill Irwin in “Old Hats.” It's sort of a revival of their big hit from a decade or so ago "Fool Moon'' and its just as good, if not better. There’s all kinds of info available online, so I won’t bore you with a book report blog entry here. However, a few months ago (how’s that for breaking news, folks?) Puppet Heap had the pleasure of consulting for and helping out with a puppet effect for one of David’s pieces, "The Hobo," a kind of Emmet Kelly inspired performance. It was a truly enlightening experience to spend a little time with such a master of his craft and get a glimpse of how these things come together. Of course, the comedy, the props and the shtick were all carefully worked over, but the most notable thing about watching David develop his performances is the emotional depths he's willing to plumb to find just the right note, the right moment to really grab the audience. The great thing about this show is how it successfully melds good old fashioned vaudeville with thoroughly modern sensibilities and production values. Mel Brooks once said “funny is funny” no matter what, and that it’s all the same jokes dressed up in different clothes. And I think that’s true as long as the clothes are in fashion. Watching the show, I thought this is exactly what I want to be doing with my little puppets--not an original idea by any means. Heck, the Muppet Show was nothing if not a vaudeville variety show--a popular formula in 70s television. But it’s this sort of blending of the thoroughly modern with the evergreen classic that’s just such an easy joy when it works. And in this case, it really works!
