    You have awoken something in me Adam. Puppets on the brain. I made my first puppet off your tutorials. Used plastic grocery bags balled together and taped up to get my pattern. He looks quite barbaric compared to my second. Used your free pattern and created Priscilla Primrose. All I want to do anymore is build puppets, then build more! As soon as I have a few I feel are camera quality I have plans for a channel. Thank you for all your guidance, inspiration and knowledge.

For now I'm working solo and doing all the activities involved in making a video. Prop man, cameraman, puppeteer you get the drift. Hoping to finish my 1st video by summer time. Thanks for the informative video...
