I love puppets!
I've always wanted to make my own puppet and make it well-known... locally, obviously...

I just like the idea of being able to make your own characters and ... I'll shut up, now. You all probably think I'm an idiot or something. :(

Does anyone here like puppets as much as I do?

Puppets kind of scare me.. anything with a fake-like appearance. Dolls, clowns, etc. :(

I don't think you're an idiot. I love puppets too! It's fun to make them seem like they have a life of their own. I'm pretty good at it apparently, from what other people have told me when they've seen me working a puppet.
I've used them in a bunch of home videos I've made over the years, it's pretty fun!
I'd love to make my own puppets and use them in my own little movie or something.
:wave:

I love puppets. I grew up watching Seseme Street and The Muppet Show, and at one time I really wanted to be a puppeteer.

Years ago when I was doing theater, I got my wish when I did all the puppet work for a production of "Little Shop Of Horrors." Man it was hard work, especially when you have to make a giant plant puppet sing along to some really up tempo music.

Still, it was great fun. I'm still in awe of the art of puppetry.

But you're right about the foam rubber. That and a lot of fake fur and other fabrics make up a typical muppet.
