I contacted Scott Radke about his puppets and I was going to ask him for any tips he had to give us... but I was too shy. Instead, I gave him a link to our blog and he checked it out. He seems like a busy guy, but he'll respond if you talk to him on his live journal... the only problem is you have to have a live journal to post on his site (I had to sign up for a free one). Anyone who is less shy who likes his work should ask him about it... yeah.
