You may know the person this was made for. It was made for my friend Grant who works at Sumo.

I think at this point i like you more than Grant annd you should like me more because he... uhm... shoots... your favorite animal... all day... his actual job is to shoot your favorite animal dead... and not the ugly ones, he ONLY shoots the adorable ones... I saw him do it, he was smili-... all right, that's not true... I drew his Avatar on the facebooks... he's awesome... wonderful work!!!

hah hah hah! I've heard that about grant.

I thought you were the one who drew his facebook/twitter avatar. I remember him raving about it to me on skype when you first drew it. Something about you being the best @#$% artist he's ever met.

Anyway, thank you for the kind words on my art, again, sir.

Oh, wow! great job it's almost like the original! (Except for the mouth. But, I know how hard puppets are to make.) [link]

Yeah, I know the mouth is horrible. I actually redid the entire head, but then I was too lazy to cut it off and fix it. I figured I'd just make another one some day with the new pattern.

wow this is so accurate and great! I was kind of dismayed by how not accurate the toys looked. I want a real fraggle!

I feel the same way about the toys! I actually found a guy named Andrew Agee to make me a replica of Wembley. Looks SO much better than the toy version of him.

I was going to attempt to make wembley myself, but this red fraggle took me 6 months to make working on and off. lol. Making puppets is hard.

Thank you for the kind words, though, sincerely. I worked really hard on that thing, and I don't even have it anymore. It was a gift for a friend in england!

Looks almost like the real thing, except for the open mouth and the standard poses. XD

thank you. ^_^ I'm working on wembley, too, but i feel like I'm never going to finish him. I'm a perfectionist and can't get the face right.

Well, he does have that oddly shaped nose. XD

He does! And I have the dimensions worked out on paper, but it just doesn't look right when I actually sew it and put it together!

Did you try looking into the "How to Make a Fraggle" part of the DVDs (where they show how a generic one is made)? Perhaps that might help.

I did, funnily enough. And they had one that was very similar to wembley. That's how I figured out how to do the foam for the head, but there's still something I'm not doing right. Ah well. I'm still just learning. I'll get it someday.

Just keep at it. I am sure you'll master it.

Why, thank you very much. It took me a very long time to make that. I'm not very good with a sewing machine.
