I still want to make puppets and I have so many hobbies, but funds are low and life is getting hectic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/full_blue%20boy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/320/full_blue%20boy.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I found this guy at a local thrift shop. He is very well made, but for only $4.95 I couldnt resist buying him. The Company that actually sells these puppes is called &lt;a href="http://sunnypuppets.com/fullbody.html?"&gt;Sunny Puppets&lt;/a&gt;, so check the link out if yu are looking to buy a puppet instead of making one they are originally $39.95. Each comes with a detachable arm rod. The few puppets I have made I always wanted to make them full bodied and this has given me a better idea on how to accomplish this task. Now to save some money and collect the items I need so I can create more new puppets for my collection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If anyone still reads this and can offer any ideas of where this blog can go please email me and let me know.

I got my kids names done in Japanese lettering and Jun got himself a geko in his arm. Maybe when he grows big and strong it will turn into a dragon like he had designed. Ha-Ha!

Bitches! &amp; Hot Wing challenge</title><content type='html'>While I was in Colorado Springs I had a great opportunity to meet new and interesting people. One guy at times greeted us with " What's up? Bitches!" although this may not make sense to most of you readers, I have uploaded an MP3 with him and I saying the same thing. If your phone uses mp3's as ringtones you are welcome to use it. The download link is at &lt;a href="http://rapidshare.de/files/26034171/bitches12.zip.html" target="_blank"&gt;http://rapidshare.de/files/26034171/bitches12.zip.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a zipped file and I am sure you know how to use it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also while I was there one of the guys decided to go to a Hot Wing restaurant and try and take on the challenge they offer. It is that you have to eat 12 of their hottest wings in under 6 minutes - the reward for meeting that challenge? A T-shirt from their establishment and a picture on their wall of fame. If interested check out this youtube video.

Although I didn't have time to post it before I left, I had to get it on line the minute I had a chance after I arrived.

I tailored him after a used car sales man we had in colorado springs. He kept saying that he was prior military and that military takes care of military. At the time my wife was pregnant with our second child and he sold us this "reliable minivan". He keeps saying that military always takes care of military. Two days later the Van caught on fire in the middle of the highway. So you can see the resemblance on why I chose a snake looking character. He wears a button up shit and a tie and has his silver earing and rings, to look like he has money. He is a fast talker 30 year old, who is separated from the military due to a medical condition. Maybe he was separated from the military due to his tounge?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Technical: There where no deviations to the pattern, this is my second Glorified Sock Puppet Pattern, but the first one that has been completed. I used everything the pattern stated and did not deviate in any way. I found his clothes in a thrift shop and his rings came from a party store. His earing we had in an old jewrly box and decided to use them since no one here would wear them. His eyes are small ping pong balls and the black in his eyes where cut from some moving eyes I bought at michaels. - Carlos&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26714703-115308399663040920?l=video567.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://video567.blogspot.com/feeds/115308399663040920/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26714703&amp;postID=115308399663040920' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26714703/posts/default/115308399663040920'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26714703/posts/default/115308399663040920'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://video567.blogspot.com/2006/07/meet-johnson.html' title='Meet Johnson'/><author><name>Bored@Home</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17717279517849501045</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/Mainottosmall.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26714703.post-114887881248309899</id><published>2006-05-28T21:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-28T22:07:42.963-07:00</updated><title type='text'>My Myspace link and logo</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/gemelos"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/320/logo2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since everyone has a myspace account I figured I would share my link with everyone.

The material is not really kid friendly. There are many profane words used through the episode. I did enjoy the show, but would not let my children watch it. I am not knocking it in any way, there is no rule that all puppet shows should be for children, I only mention it if you are a parent to make sure you know what you are letting your children watch before hand. All in all good 1st episode, and it is to be continued. Check them out and you decide.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26714703-114886780000207142?l=video567.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://video567.blogspot.com/feeds/114886780000207142/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26714703&amp;postID=114886780000207142' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26714703/posts/default/114886780000207142'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26714703/posts/default/114886780000207142'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://video567.blogspot.com/2006/05/puppet-television.html' title='Puppet Television'/><author><name>Bored@Home</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17717279517849501045</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/Mainottosmall.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26714703.post-114858108480662140</id><published>2006-05-25T11:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-25T11:22:27.813-07:00</updated><title type='text'>'68 Dodge D100</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 10px; MARGIN-LEFT: 10px"&gt;&lt;a title="photo sharing" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/24505449@N00/153165471/"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 2px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000000 2px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 2px solid" alt="" src="http://static.flickr.com/78/153165471_2a559a5c06_m.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px;font-size:0;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/24505449@N00/153165471/"&gt;dodge 68 may 06 (11)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/24505449@N00/"&gt;jedilos567&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Truck, washed and rims cleaned, plus I removed the topper it had on. (The bed topper is for sale BTW) It does have a lot of work to be done on it. it has a lot of rust on the bottom and the driver side door, where the hinge is at is rusted so its hard to open and close the door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a pretty truck, I had received a PDF file with some truck views I opened it up in photoshop and made a new line drawing so I can start working on a paint scheme. I think I will leave it orange, but I will paint the top white and leave the rest orange. I plan on having a Puertorrican flag painted on the top of the roof like the General Lee, but all this after I get the rust removed. I also want t o lower it half way from where it is now and add Gull wing Doors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/1968%20dodge%20copy.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/320/1968%20dodge%20copy.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br clear="all"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/320/7d_1_b.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/1968%20dodge%20copy.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26714703-114858108480662140?l=video567.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://video567.blogspot.com/feeds/114858108480662140/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26714703&amp;postID=114858108480662140' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26714703/posts/default/114858108480662140'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26714703/posts/default/114858108480662140'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://video567.blogspot.com/2006/05/68-dodge-d100.html' title='&apos;68 Dodge D100'/><author><name>Bored@Home</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17717279517849501045</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/Mainottosmall.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26714703.post-114843183432932702</id><published>2006-05-23T17:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-23T17:54:54.196-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Another stop motion test ~Snake Eyes~</title><content type='html'>&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MaURCjXK-xM" width="425" height="350" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can see it &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaURCjXK-xM"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt; if the embedding doesn't work&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just testing some more stop motion I did a while back.

They combine the razzle-dazzle of American popular culture with technological innovation. Henson’s work transformed both the art and the science of puppetry from the simple, cloth, hand-and-rod Muppets to the complex figures of the 1982 film The Dark Crystal, which used a remote-controlled system of movement called animatronics. The objects displayed on the Museum’s first and third floors represent two important eras and achievements in Henson’s extraordinary career. Whether it’s the fleece-and-foam zaniness of the Muppets or the intricate creatures of The Dark Crystal, his work exhibits a constant and enduring appeal. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26714703-114823769403502934?l=video567.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://video567.blogspot.com/feeds/114823769403502934/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26714703&amp;postID=114823769403502934' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26714703/posts/default/114823769403502934'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26714703/posts/default/114823769403502934'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://video567.blogspot.com/2006/05/jim-hensons-legacy.html' title='Jim Henson&apos;s Legacy'/><author><name>Bored@Home</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17717279517849501045</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/Mainottosmall.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26714703.post-114810639725806122</id><published>2006-05-19T23:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-19T23:26:37.330-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Freevlog: Tutorial</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://freevlog.org/tutorial/"&gt;Freevlog: Tutorial&lt;/a&gt;: "Welcome to Freevlog 2.5&lt;br /&gt;A step-by-step guide to setting up a videoblog for free."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now we are a bit more on subject.

We wanted to buy one but we didn't have that much money at the time. After coming home Sunday evening, we went through our craft box and noticed we had some scraps so we started sewing the body, we got some fishing line and some wooden sticks and created our own version of the marionettes they where selling at the fair. All in all they came out fairly good. If you ever have kids and some stick and fishing line you will know that after a few times playing with something like this, it will come tangled and a pain in the (you know what) to untangle. We made about 4 of them, but this where the only pictures we could find. It was so much fun playing with them that I am contemplating making another one in the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="109" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/200/FRONTPUPPET.jpg" width="174" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/200/FRONT2PUPPET.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 175px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 94px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="86" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/200/SIDEPUPPET.jpg" width="165" border="0" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26714703-114730627802129103?l=video567.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://video567.blogspot.com/feeds/114730627802129103/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26714703&amp;postID=114730627802129103' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26714703/posts/default/114730627802129103'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26714703/posts/default/114730627802129103'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://video567.blogspot.com/2006/05/marionette.html' title='Marionette'/><author><name>Bored@Home</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17717279517849501045</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/Mainottosmall.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26714703.post-114706552824105961</id><published>2006-05-07T22:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-05-07T22:20:34.943-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Not really puppet related, but... it could be</title><content type='html'>Looking for a truck the other day, so we can take our junk to the dumpster, we ran across this beast. It has a lot of rust and had an ugly topper on the back. We removed it today! What a heavy son of a gun it was. So, it will never win any beauty contests and with all the rust I don't know how much it can be salvaged, but we where thinking of doing the best that we could and I thought it would look great painted dark orange but on the hood have a puppet drawing bursting out of it. So if you follow my blog, and have any ideas please post them here.

It's amazing how close I actually was to making my first foam puppet. First I was using the wrong sized foam. If I would have started with 1/2 inch instead of one 1 inch, I would have probably would have been making puppets a lot sooner. It's too bad too because I felt so discouraged that I didn't try again until 3 years later. I was able to make new puppets using the &lt;a href="http://www.projectpuppet.com"&gt;Project Puppet&lt;/a&gt; pattern. Just wanted to show some of my trial and errors.

She is a teenager who is very talented in the ways of cooking, she is also dating Zac the pink Mohawk puppet. She is very dramatic, loves to praise others and offers advice when people seek her, and mimics every one to lighten the mood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Technical: There where no deviations to the pattern, this being the 4th foam puppet, but most of the work was done by one of my child. This is her first Puppet, so we did not change the pattern in any way. I helped her by putting final touches to MaMaMiA like sewing areas that she left open and gluing a few parts to the foam head. Her hoodie shirt coat came from a thrift shop and the fur for her hair was already purchased a few years ago for a previous project that was never completed and was also used on the Zac puppet. We used 1/2-inch foam for the body and head. The eyes where made from googoly eyes uses for home made dolls and the nose was an eye we cut open to use the black circle as her nose. - Carlos&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/26%20april%2006%20(13).jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/320/26%20april%2006%20%2813%29.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/26%20april%2006%20(12).jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/320/26%20april%2006%20%2812%29.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26714703-114617855060947740?l=video567.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://video567.blogspot.com/feeds/114617855060947740/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26714703&amp;postID=114617855060947740' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26714703/posts/default/114617855060947740'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26714703/posts/default/114617855060947740'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://video567.blogspot.com/2006/04/mamamia-finished-4th-puppet-completed.html' title='MaMaMiA the finished 4th Puppet completed'/><author><name>Bored@Home</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17717279517849501045</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/Mainottosmall.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26714703.post-114611224926371392</id><published>2006-04-26T21:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-04-26T21:30:49.273-07:00</updated><title type='text'>My oldest kid's puppet / our 4th</title><content type='html'>So it's not officially finished, but it is almost there.

Although this did not turn out like I expected, it was a fun little project and I had a great time doing it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was trying to do some stop motion and some green screen at the same time. I messed up by having my lego too close to the back ground and not adding proper lighting. I did the background in Cinema 4D but I should have made it longer. It was only an experiment in stop motion so I am some what happy with it. This proves I still have a lot more to learn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed style="WIDTH: 386px; HEIGHT: 216px" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jeCMXlDQYz0" width="386" height="216" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26714703-114594490064740700?l=video567.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://video567.blogspot.com/feeds/114594490064740700/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26714703&amp;postID=114594490064740700' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26714703/posts/default/114594490064740700'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26714703/posts/default/114594490064740700'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://video567.blogspot.com/2006/04/playing-with-stop-motion.html' title='Playing with stop motion'/><author><name>Bored@Home</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17717279517849501045</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/Mainottosmall.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26714703.post-114594409875776326</id><published>2006-04-24T22:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-04-25T11:48:11.660-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hoey</title><content type='html'>Pattern: &lt;a href="http://www.projectpuppet.com/puppet-pattern1.htm"&gt;The Rotondo Puppet Pattern&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Character: Hoey&lt;br /&gt;She is a monster puppet and has a weird sense of humor.

The eyes where made from foam balls cut in half and the black in his eyes where cut from some moving eyes I bought at Michaels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/zaccoat.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/320/zaccoat.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/zaccoat%20(4).jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="317" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/320/zaccoat%20%284%29.jpg" width="200" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/zaccoat%20(3).jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 201px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 273px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="320" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/320/zaccoat%20%283%29.jpg" width="231" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26714703-114590375522937456?l=video567.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://video567.blogspot.com/feeds/114590375522937456/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26714703&amp;postID=114590375522937456' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26714703/posts/default/114590375522937456'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26714703/posts/default/114590375522937456'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://video567.blogspot.com/2006/04/zac-is-finished.html' title='ZAC is finished'/><author><name>Bored@Home</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17717279517849501045</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/Mainottosmall.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26714703.post-114584141347379961</id><published>2006-04-23T18:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-04-23T18:33:30.723-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Stupid SciFi</title><content type='html'>I am a big Sci-Fi fan I used to be Jedi Los on a little website called &lt;a href="http://members.fortunecity.com/los765/"&gt;SABERS PLUS 2000&lt;/a&gt; and now with puppets being my new passion finding this site is amazing.

I used the bottom of a spray paint can here to draw my circle.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/nose1.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/200/nose1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then with a hand needle do what is called a gathering stitch around the outside of the circle. You can see how that is done in the image to the left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/nose2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/200/nose2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You then place a bit of cotton or polyfill in the middle of the circle. The finished nose will be a bit smaller then the piece amount of filling you use since it will compact down. I always roll the polyfill in my hand into a bit of a ball to compress it a bit so the end size is closer. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/nose3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/200/nose3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;You then pull the thread to gather the felt around the filler. The smaller the stitches you take in the second step the more creases you have but this will make your "nose" smoother in the long run. Once you have your nose you flip it over and hand stitch it to the puppets face.

Here is what they have to say about their pattern:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Glorified Sock Puppet Pattern goes back to the basics of puppet building and is the first pattern of Project Puppet's new &lt;a href="http://spaces.msn.com/mmm2006-03-23_17.22/faq2.htm#11"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,255)"&gt;Simple Series&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. But don't let the simplicity fool you! A basic sock puppet, though relatively easy to construct, can provide quite a challenge in puppeteering. A basic "sock" puppet has the ability to capture a tremendous range of emotion and can be a real challenge for the puppeteer's skills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;So far I have done everything but the inside of the mouth and arms, and then I have to personalize it. I had some green fleece and decided that it would be perfect for this new puppet.

It was going to be for a puppet for my daughter, but she didn't really like it. So I used it to make another monster puppet, I still have more to go but I have done the body, head and mouth. I already sewed the arms and hands, but I am still waiting to buy some doll joints to attach them. Here are some preliminary pics.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/03-26-06_1942.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/200/03-26-06_1942.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/03-26-06_1943.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; CURSOR: pointer" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/200/03-26-06_1943.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26714703-114569262912410153?l=video567.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://video567.blogspot.com/feeds/114569262912410153/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26714703&amp;postID=114569262912410153' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26714703/posts/default/114569262912410153'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26714703/posts/default/114569262912410153'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://video567.blogspot.com/2006/04/creating-new-puppet.html' title='Creating a New Puppet'/><author><name>Bored@Home</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17717279517849501045</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/Mainottosmall.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26714703.post-114569245388760468</id><published>2006-04-22T00:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-04-23T18:49:32.013-07:00</updated><title type='text'>His Name is OTTO!</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Builder: Carlos (&lt;a href="mailto:video567@gmail.com"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;video567@gmail.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;Pattern: The Rotondo Pattern and Fleece Head Covering Pattern (from &lt;a href="http://www.projectpuppet.com/"&gt;http://www.projectpuppet.com/&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Character: After much debate and also asking a question on the muppet Central Forum called - help me name my puppet!! (&lt;a href="http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=25688"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=25688 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;) many of the members gave us many suggestions. The deal was that I would call them out to my 3 year old and she would choose. We finally came up with the name "OTTO". He is a monster but a nice one. The one problem we have with him is that he is always saying "Elmo had to die, because I needed his eyes!" My 3 year old always corrects him and brings out her Elmo Plush doll and point to him, telling him that Elmo is still here. He likes to talk a lot with children and&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;discuss their day, asks about school and what they learned. When he doesn't repeat what the children said they learned in school correctly, the children have no fear in correcting him. I don't think he is dumb. I think he does that to reinforce in children what they learned that day. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Technical: I used the pattern the way it said on the instructions. This was my first foam puppet&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I wanted to make sure I followed directions 100% so I could learn from it. His skin is made of Blue fur from JoAnn's fabric it was on sale for $3.99 a yard and I used 1/2 inch foam also from the same store. It is hard to find reticulated foam in my area and since I got my pattern I wanted to start right away. The eyes and nose came from an elmo that played the guitar. It was given to me at work since I love puppets, but the arm that was attached to the guitar was cut and the electronics were broken and it would not play, I figured his donor card was filled out and he wouldn't mind donating his eyes to science. I had found some plastic doll arm hinges a few years ago and I saved them, with this puppet I used the hinges for his arms so they can move up and down also. I did not use wires for his fingers.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/Mainotto.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/200/Mainotto.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/otto1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/200/otto1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/otto2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/200/otto2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/otto3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/200/otto3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/otto4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/200/otto4.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26714703-114569245388760468?l=video567.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://video567.blogspot.com/feeds/114569245388760468/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=26714703&amp;postID=114569245388760468' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26714703/posts/default/114569245388760468'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/26714703/posts/default/114569245388760468'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://video567.blogspot.com/2006/04/his-name-is-otto.html' title='His Name is OTTO!'/><author><name>Bored@Home</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17717279517849501045</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6912/2798/1600/Mainottosmall.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26714703.post-114569215957996290</id><published>2006-04-22T00:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-04-23T18:50:13.236-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Update on Puppet</title><content type='html'>I started a new puppet today, I cannibalized and elmo toy for the eyes, but I used the rotondo pattern from &lt;a href="http://www.projectpuppet.com/"&gt;ProjectPuppet&lt;/a&gt;.
