As you all probably already know, I run the custom character design shop here at Grey Seal Puppets.  Well, recently my workshop computer crashed and took with it my entire database of suppliers.  My backup file is corrupt, which means all I have left are a few printed pages (from 2007).  Basically two years of information is down the drain.

Now, obviously you all can't reach into my busted hard drive and pull out my missing suppliers.  But if you have a tried and true source for puppet building supplies, please share it with me!

This could include (but is not limited to):
Foam!  All kinds!
Glue!  All kinds!
Fur
Fabrics
Sewing notions (thread, Velcro, snaps, elastic, etc.)
Craft supplies

Please include as much contact info as possible-- especially web address and phone numbers.  And thanks in advance!

That's awful! I hope everything gets fixed!

Wish I could help; don't suppose you want Aussie suppliers though Wink

It is not how good of a puppet builder you are. It is are you the best that you can be.

This link does not work any more. I have a copy of the list and am presently working on updating things. I keep records just forget where I put things. Have any questions about suppliers just ask Vania or post your request here and someone will respond.
