For a while now, we’ve been working on being able to deliver the CD instructions included with some of the patterns to our customers who are Mac users. To that end, the Mac version of The Mostro Puppet Pattern is now available!

In the months ahead, we’ll be revisiting some of the older patterns here at Project Puppet, updating them, and making Mac versions available as well.

One of the great things about the new Mostro Pattern is the CD. The CD contains the instructions for putting the pattern together as well as the two tutorials included with the pattern. This is not new to Project Puppet patterns. The Forma Series patterns come with instructions on CD, but we did make a few changes that make the CD instructions for the Mostro Pattern even better. One great new feature is the ability to maximize the program window.

Of course, you can view and print the instructions and the tutorials from the program. Not only that but you can zoom in incredibly close on the pictures featured on the CD. You can’t get this close even with touching your nose to a set of printed instructions! To add to that, the screenshot above does not show the full zoom capability! You can zoom in even closer without losing the quality of the photo on screen. Enabled with these features, and besides the obvious benefits of having an electronic version of the instructions to print and re-print, the CD can be used as a tool to fully grasp the methods and techniques described in this great new pattern from Project Puppet.

We recently held a survey to find out what you would like to see next at Project Puppet. What made the top of the list? A new Monster Series! This little guy is the most recent puppet created by the Project Puppet workshop, though done in a style not so “Project Puppet” but very familiar, I’m sure. You may be looking at the basis for the first pattern in the new Monster Series. Consider this sneak peek!

Starting today, The Glorified Sock Puppet Pattern on CD will be available at I-Fest!

You’ll also be able to find the GSPP on CD next week at Puppet Rampage 2007! Even if you have the pattern, the CDs make great gifts. So if you are attending be sure to check out the Puppet Exchange and receive a special discount just for being at the festival!

The Crafty Den Puppet Workshop recently created the great character you see in the above picture from the Glorified Sock Puppet Pattern. If you like the little guy, he could be yours! Check out the Ebay auction for the puppet character.

The Crafty Den Puppet Workshop is a great resource for custom puppet work and for original puppet characters. Visit the site at www.thecraftyden.com! Or if you feel inspired to make your own puppet, the Crafty Den is also an authorized Project Puppet Distributor of The Glorified Sock Puppet Pattern on CD.

Thanks to The Crafty Den Puppet Workshop for giving the Glorified Sock Puppet Pattern and whirl and for sharing the excellent results!

It’s here! The forth pattern release in Project Puppet’s Simple Series is The Melonhead Pattern. As the name suggests, the Melonhead is based on an oval head shape, similar to a football or watermelon, and sports the same ease of construction that our Simple Series patterns make possible. The Melonhead’s oval shape lends itself to the creation of a variety of character types and it goes together in a matter of hours. Check it out!

Puppet Planet is the first and only Project Puppet Distributor to sell the Glorified Sock Puppet Pattern on CD on Ebay! If you’d like to get your hands on the CD, visit Puppet Planet’s Ebay Store. Hey, and if you are in the market for a puppet character and you don’t have the time to make a puppet yourself, check out Puppet Planet’s professional custom puppet services on Ebay or on the Puppet Planet website!

Thanks to Michele for the tip!

We’ve had a few inquiries as to where one might purchase the new Glorified Sock Puppet Pattern on CD. We will be compiling a list of distributors in the upcoming months and eventually all Project Puppet Distributors who will be selling to the public, will be listed on the Project Puppet website. In the meantime, if you’d like to get your hands on one of the CDs, The Creative Arts Store already has The Glorified Sock Puppet Pattern on CD available in their online store!

We’ve added a couple of designs and a few more products to Project Puppet’s Zazzle store. Check out the recently added stuff!

Update: The “I Made A Sock Puppet And Liked It” t-shirt received a Today’s Best Award from Zazzle on March 23, 2007!

Project Puppet is happy to announce its plans to put the Simple Series patterns on CD and to make them available at wholesale! What better way to start than to offer the most popular pattern of the Simple Series to date – The Glorified Sock Puppet Pattern. Now it’s on CD and will be exclusively available through Project Puppet Distributors.

The new Simple Series on CD and becoming a Project Puppet Distributor will afford you many new opportunities, especially if you own or are involved in a puppet-related business.

• If you are a skilled puppet builder, and have always wanted to teach a puppet building class, the Simple Series Patterns on CD can provide you with an excellent base on which to teach a simple, but informative, puppet building workshop. Your students will love walking away from your workshop, not only with a complete puppet, but the tools and skills necessary to go home and make a dozen more! And remember, the value of the Project Puppet patterns will continue to grow as new add-on patterns and free tutorials are added to the Project Puppet website.
• If you perform, as a traveling show or a stationary theater, the Simple Series Patterns on CD would be a great addition to items that you may already sell before or after the performance. Increase your bottom line while spreading the joy of puppetry to a future generation.
