My second share today is a series of videos made for the UK’s National Theatre  by Gyre & Gimble, a celebrated puppet company founded in 2014 by Finn Caldwell and Toby Olié, who were associate puppetry directors on the global theatrical hit, War Horse. In the first video, Olié and Caldwell demonstrate a step-by-step guide for making a brown paper man puppet, which would be an excellent for anyone…

Hello bree! I really love you art and am a huge fan of Patrik the Vampire, if I remember correctly, you made a puppet of him, I think you also made a tutorial on how you made him? I need help trying to make some stop-motion puppets for my college portfolio, but I have no clue how to make the body properly so they can stand up and move. I tried a way myself, but it broke alot. I would be very greatful if you can provide a link to the post you made of how you made him? cause I think you did? Or maybe my brain is foggy. Thank you and have a nice day! — theblacklacedandy

First off, thanks! Yes, I did make a puppet and kind-of did a tutorial that I posted on my blogspot. It's not the best guide to making puppets and have learned better methods from the master class I took example:

There are some great tutorials available on youtube and animation sites, here's some that I used for making my Patrik puppet:
