You don’t need to be a seasoned pro to have fun with puppets.  No, in fact more and more I see new people online who are just having fun with puppet building.  One of those people is Jeffrey Barnes from Arkansas, in the USA.  Jeffrey has always been interested in puppets and puppetry and like many people had no idea where to begin building one of his own.

He was lucky enough to stumble across Pasha Romanowski’s fantastic website called Project Puppet, that helped to send him on his puppet building journey.  Armed this these super patterns and a book called The Foam Book from Grey Seal Puppets he bagan to build many of his favourite characters from television. 

See more of Jeffrey’s puppets here.  I think the puppets are cool and I love the fact that he is just building. 

So build I say!  Take a page from Jeffrey’s book and take the plunge.  Cool things can happen when you do.
