Puppets made using the foam book

[sspuppets]

I would like to see some photos of puppets that people have made using The foam books " Three piece head method " or " Nip and Tuck Method "
Both are great techniques............ but you know what they say a pictures speaks a thousand words.

I love all your puppets but this one is a bit special to me. It has so much character. Thanks for sharing the picture again.

Sue, that is very cool!  Is it painted with black light paint?  I love how you exaggerated the jaw.  Very nice!

Hey you all,

Just want to show you my last creation:

I would like to introduce you all to Mike... he really likes to surf. And because of the fact that he lives in Amsterdam and the way he looks out of his eyes I guess he likes to smoke something too...

Greetings from Holland,

Mike is one cool dude......................  He looks like he might play in a band.

Thanks Steve! I just took him to the hairdresser to make his hair look this way

Hello SS puppets...what do you think about the gibsonbrothers?

Real nice to hear about your comments! The hair is just a hairpiece which females use to tie around a ponytail... I cut it open and pinned it on the head. And there you will find the twisted hair!

Hello everyone!

I would like to show you my newest creation! Meet my first monsterpuppet! With thanks to the foam book (thanks Vania!) and Puppets in Melbourne (thanks Naomi!).

What do you think?
I don't know a name for her (I feel it's a girl), so if anyone knows a good name! Please reply!

[confused monkey]

she looks good-something about it makes me think of "Flo" from the nightt Court series, So how about Flo. Steve

[dutch puppet]

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your suggestion! The only thing is that Flo sound like the Dutch Vlo, and that means Flea ... Si I don't think that's going to be her name. But thanks anyway

Sorry to be so long in replying to this question. Yes the foam is painted with florescent paint from WalMart. He was done for a parody of Under the Sea from The Little Mermaid. Whenever I paint foam I spray a coat of SM 77 spray glue first. Allow to dry completely then spray with choice of color. When painting for Blacklight, I actually paint in the dark with blacklights on to get the exact look I want.

These are all some good-looking puppets!   Nice job, everyone.

Here's one I made a while back using the Three-Piece Head method.  I don't know if everyone is familiar with the TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," but in one episode ("Smiletime") two of the characters were turned into puppets.    It was a popular episode, and there were several commercially-made versions of the puppets produced for sale; but as one friend of mine told me, they just didn't look quite right.  So I made him his own puppet of the "Angel" character using tips and tricks from the Foam Book (as well as some materials purchased from Grey Seal!), and he was very happy with it. Here's a photo of the finished puppet:



Sorry about the quality of the photo--it's a scan, so it's not the best, but it gives an idea of what the puppet looks like.  The Foam Book was definitely a big help!
