 Val, I like this idea. I don't think it will work for this particular
application, but a couple of quick questions. As I see it you are using the
lower leg of the tights as the sleeve that goes inside the body of the
puppet and into the head. The foot portion is then attached to the inner
mouth. How are you attaching it? Glue? Sewing? Does it matter what the
tights are made of: 100% cotton, lycra, spandex, combo? I imagine ones with
at least some cotton and medium to heavy weight would work best, but if
you've already experimented no point in me reinventing the wheel.

 Thanks for your suggestion.


And your's too Liz.
