Sorry if this has already been asked but.
Im a beginer and I was wondering if the simple series from Puppet Project.com were a good place to start.

Heck, yeah!
They are not too good to be true. I know your natural inclination is to not believe that their stuff is THAT useful, but it is.
And I don't even get paid to say that. I just think they have a great thing going. I have many of their patterns and have found them to be simple to build and very effective for getting nice results.

I just finished working on a professional build, and all of the builders there commented on how good of a resource Puppet Project was and how good their patterns are.
I've bought a few of their simple series patterns and they're great! The best part is that you actually learn from the pattern and can modify it to fit the needs of the character you're trying to build!

Pasha makes really ******* patterns; they're great, easy to use, and have a really nice design to them. Highly recommended.
Also Pasha himself is a really nice guy.
I cannot recommend the project Puppet patterns enough!
Pasha has always been terrific and the patterns are all great.

Project Puppet fan as well. You just can't go wrong with them and they are so adaptable.

Hi All,
I'm new in this forum, I'm a character designer and I'd like to start to make my own puppet (something easy to begin). I'm trying to buy antron fleece and other puppeteer supplies. Do you have suggestions for a beginner? where I can find a sock pattern for free? I think I need a progect to understand how the several elements works together, but I will design an original shape (if it's possible...)
if you want you can visit my blog: http://touchskieschronicles.blogspot.com
Touchskies I like your work, the sock pattern is pretty cheap and you can get it sent to your email. Your Drawing/illustrations are great would work great to turn into puppets.

Thank you, I think I'll start with a mouse, something I can syntetize in a simple sock pattern.

now I've got the entire simple series and relative adds on from project puppet.
I think the patterns will be a good help to make great characters.
thank you all for your professional suggestion.

Agreed the project puppet patterns are a good starting place for anyone.

Well, I just don't want to fork over the cash really, is there anyway/how these are available in some remote corner of the world wide web?

Touchskies,
One quick note: I don't know if they've changed them, but after you've cut out your Project Puppet pattern pieces, be sure to label them by name! I got myself a three-ring binder with clear plastic pocket sleeves to keep the patterns in. I wrote right on the sleeve which pattern goes in there. But the original patterns didn't have the pattern name on them, so it was easy to get parts confused between patterns ( I have a bunch of their patterns).
So I had to write the puppet pattern name on every piece. Like I said, I don't know if they've changed that on the latest versions of the patterns.

I think they have changed it. My patterns from project puppet are all labeled.

TabbyKat,
If you aren't willing to pay for the Project Puppet patterns (and they are well worth the investment) you can ask as many questions as you like here on the board and there will be someone with a useful answer for you.
But simply looking for an end-around to get them for free won't make you any friends here. Project Puppet is well respected and liked around these parts. You're basically asking if we can tell you how to steal from our friend.
That having bee said, there's nothing wrong with wanting to keep it cheap... especially if you're just starting out building puppets. And you can get lots of good advice about that here too.
My first suggestion is to dive in to Google. There may be some good patterns out there that have been posted for free. Personally I've never found any that were as complete and loaded with technical help and instruction as the Project Puppet stuff.

Wow! Get a paper route, sell your old comicbook collection, stop drinking coffee for a couple of days...geez!
Project Puppet's patterns are pretty cheap considering what you get. Surely you can afford a pattern or two; especially since there is a deal right now on patterns...and anything you make with the pattern you own the rights too and can even sell it for more than the pattern cost you!
Now is the time to learn lifes lesson that you can't get something for nothing...unless, of course, you get headlice. LOL
Yeah, no, don't steal. Especially not from Pasha. Project Puppet puts out a good product at a reasonable price for what you get. They aren't trying to gouge anyone over there.

Even then you have to spend time with the rotten little kid who had it first.
