"Actually "Nettlecatfish" is not mine. It was created by Hana Backland. I just linked to the video she had posted on Vimo. It is really cool though, I agree!"
Shawn Sorrell replied to Wyohming's discussion The Icebook"Wow that looks incredible! Don't think I've ever seen anything like it.

Shawn Sorrell replied to Daniel Dold's discussion Does anyone know the best thing to use for keeping a fake fur wig in place."The methods you have mentioned and have been suggested can work but be aware that over time the hairs will still get separated and start to look bad and there won't be much you can do about it if use glue or shellac.

Shawn Sorrell replied to Swannie's discussion moving mouth string puppet"Thanks for the information Joseph. Thought I would add the link for the McMaster-Carr site for those who are unfamiliar with the company. http://www.mcmaster.com Looks like that is not a bad price on those. I like that fact that it…"
Shawn Sorrell replied to Swannie's discussion moving mouth string puppet"Joseph,

Shawn Sorrell replied to Swannie's discussion moving mouth string puppet"Was just looking at Joseph photos.

Shawn Sorrell replied to Judy's discussion Puppet Stage Plan/Pattern"BTW in the plans I posted a link to it does say 1 x 4 but for what you are doing you should use 1 x 2 and that with the braces is sturdy enough."
Shawn Sorrell replied to Judy's discussion Puppet Stage Plan/Pattern"I don't have specific plans but what you want to do could be attained by building simple theater flats using this as a guide. http://puppetsandstuff.com/2008gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=2554 The top one is a theater…"
