    Thanks for the kind words, folks. I've just finished making Lady Penelope. I'll spare you the graphic "making of" pics - just imagine all the problems of making Parker PLUS a wig and a fur coat.

    Click the first pic if you want to see (some of) the process on my flickr page...

    Thanks! No, these are the only two puppets I've made (so far). Well... I knocked up a Beaker muppet a few weeks ago...



    ... but he's just a postal tube, two ping-pong balls and some fleece. Easy. He's got a working mouth mechanism, but I wouldn't consider him a "replica". I'll leave it to Muppet afficionados to note the inconsistencies ( ), but with a total cost of $18 and 3 hours to make, he was a bit of fun.
