Bobby: Hi, I am Barbara Dewey. Today, I would like to talk about new ideas for making puppets and figures. I would like you to meet my friend Dorothy Dewey. And you are going to talk about how you can make puppets and fingers from other puppets and puppet heads and hands.
First of all, I am going to talk about this cloth, foam base puppets that I have here. Dorothy is the mother of four children and the wife of a husband that you are going to meet today. And I have made them all from puppets.
Dorothy: This is what it look like.
Bobby: This is right. This is how Dorothy came in the mail. And if you will send me a double stamp, business size, self addressed envelope, I will send you address at to where you can buy this commercially made puppets.
I will tell you right now, there are very expensive, but if you found our series on how to make puppets and have seen how much work it is, you will understand why they cost so much.
Dorothy came like this and I am going to put you down for a minutes, alright?
Dorothy: Alright.
Bobby: He came that way and I am going to show you what I did. First of all you have to have a body. And so I started out with two inch piece of foam. Now you can buy foam at various places, craft stores. This is bedding foam that I got, I am going to show you. That I think is small, probably a crib size. That is two inches wide and I cut it in pieces 23 x 23. Now, sometime it has been longer than that. You got a larger puppet that you want to make. But this is what the 23 x 23 inch size, kind of cylinder, and I use a hot blue gun.
In fact, why do we look right now at our workshop to see just exactly how we make this home base bodies.
