A funny thing happened on my way to create a smaller, lighter weight human type puppet pattern. I created a goose-man. No matter how I looked at it, the puppet looked like a goose.

This is part 7 (the last part) of a video series about how I build my custom puppets. It is not meant to be a tutorial or for beginners. I don’t go into a lot of details, just outlining how I currently build most of my puppets. This series is meant to be an overview of how much supplies, tools and time it takes to build a “Muppet-y” style puppet. I’m also sharing what I’ve learned in the hopes of helping out fellow puppet builders.
I love building puppets. I build my puppets as a hobby and on a tight budget.
