"Very nice design on Audrey II. Not the normal look. I recently worked on a version that also kind of moved away from the original look. The number 4 plant had the large "stomach" like yours but we did not reproduce that…"

I had a women email asking if I knew about a show called Barnyard Frolics. Here request is below. I was able to find out that it was published in Women's Day and it would have been around 1965. Actually got that of of the PofA site because it was mentioned in a puppeteers bio. :) Thought I would see if anyone had an old copy or knew where a back issue could be found.Her email:I'm looking for a script for the Barnyard Frolics puppet show. This was something published probably in the 70s. My…See More
Wyohming replied to Shawn Sorrell's discussion Anyone recognize this puppet?"Doesn't look spitting image-y to me but I may be wrong.
But doesn't googling 'Abraham Lincoln Puppets' under 'images' bring up the most fantastic set of pictures!

Shawn Sorrell replied to big bro george's discussion 1 of a kind custom puppet from JET/ the dummy shoppe"Well I know you didn't ask me for a critique but I have to say I really enjoyed Homer's Lament. You had my attention the entire time. It's a great character voice rich and full. Would love to see him in action!"
Adrian Rose replied to Shawn Sorrell's discussion Anyone recognize this puppet?"I posted it to some puppeteer friends who may have some insight. I'll update you if I hear anything! Regardless... WHAT A GREAT PUPPET!!!"
Shawn Sorrell replied to Carla Ahrens's discussion Suit Pattern for my Grandpa puppet"Carla,
Another good source if this is a hand in mouth puppet is to check your local thrift stores for toddler cloths. While they may not be the correct fabric pattern or look you can use them as patterns to make your own cloths. :)"
Shawn Sorrell replied to Wyohming's discussion Shellac!"It could be restricted in some countries, but I think maybe it is more that there are other alternatives that are more durable and cheaper now. Home Depot in the US still sells a product they call Shellac but as you can see on this page there…"
Shawn Sorrell replied to Shawn Sorrell's discussion Anyone recognize this puppet?"I may have to try and get in contact with Gary on this. The more I compare the style of the Abe puppet to the Krofft puppets the more I am not sure. :) The big thing is that it seems as if all the Krofft puppets used shaped foam for hair…"
Joseph Emory replied to Shawn Sorrell's discussion Anyone recognize this puppet?"Yes you are correct they are creations of Sid and Marty Kroffts puppets. Thanks for reminding me of those things. so kewl. Another great resource historian is Gary Busk out of Dallas for that type of info. Not sure if…"
Shawn Sorrell replied to Shawn Sorrell's discussion Anyone recognize this puppet?"Someone over at PandS suggested that it looked like the D.C. Follies puppets. They where made by Krofft studios. Anyone familiar with Krofft puppets enough to know if that might be true?"
Shawn Sorrell posted a discussionAnyone recognize this puppet?
Ok not who it is but the maker of the puppet. I realize it is Abraham Lincoln. :)Someone over at PandS asked if we knew where it came from and so far nobody has been able to figure it out.One guess was that it may be a Spitting Image but it looks more like foamed latex to me rather then the regular latex they used. Also we can't match it to existing images we know are Spitting Image.See More

"I like the notches on the lower control knob. I used a similar mechanism but my control was simply rounded. I can see this would allow you to sense without looking when the head was face forward. I can't believe I never thought of…"
