Every sphere is made from a wedge pattern...

Start Designs with Basic Shapes

Start with The Wedge Pattern to form the basis of almost any puppet's head.

Wedges Make a Sphere

Create additional structure, building your character with complex shapes.

Adjusting Wedge Sizes Changes the Sphere

Prototype in foam, then pattern on paper, and finally in your fabrication materials and fabrics.

It All Starts With a Simple Wedge...

Think drawing has you stumped?  Think 3D design is too hard? The Wedge Pattern is so simple and yet so incredibly powerful because it allows you to start your puppet design explorations and experimentations as you create your own custom, professional puppet design patterns.
