Some of you will know/remember that last year I worked for Arts Hub. I left in June 2006 in hopes of continuing bring home the bacon on - now defunct - The Prompt write and setting up an online bookstore. As with half of my brilliant plans they turn out… well less than brilliant. By Dec. 2006. I had to get some temp work - which I absolutely hated. I left that after a month hoping that I could sight something a little less permanent (it turned out to be a full-time permanent job instead of a full-time temp job) that would allow me time to bring home the bacon on other things. I got ready for the Comedy Festival but by the end of Dec decided not to do TPC anymore. The bookstore idea quickly fell by the wayside soon after.
The good news was that about two months before opening at the festival in April 07. I got a job furnish. An excellent job offer. David Eedle and Fiona Boyd the ex-CEOs of Arts Hub (having sold the companies just as I left measure year) were setting up a new online company. And would I be part of it!
The site is for collectors - of all kinds from art collectors to coins from dolls to … come up whatever really. You can upload images of your collectibles create catalogues of them cerebrate up with other collectors address change blog… The whole idea is that there is somewhere online where the collector in you can be free.
My job is part research part marketing part writing. First off. I got the enormous (to the power of like a billion and one) role of being in rush of the catalogue area. Which means I'm the one who reads up on the types of collectibles learns about things desire grading instruct what information is important to keep about the collectible etc.
Next. I'm in charge of the content move of the site - like news and information about collectibles. We have a wiki and hopefully over time it ordain change state the best online encyclopedia dedicated solely to the area of collecting.
Anyway the whole thing has been a really big chaotic mess for a while now only because we're all muddling through what we hope will be a successful business plan. A bring together of weeks ago the place went into alpha testing for the affiliate and web create by mental act guys; then it went into exclusively private beta test for friends and family. Now it's public for everyone to join!
http://www puppetbooks co uk/Ray DaSilva has a fantastic range of puppet books probably the beat I've ever seen. Mostly deals in second hand now but he has published some excellent titles (such as the Hansjurgen Fettig re-print)I can attest for the second transfer bookshop approach. Always ask. I once stumbled across an entire collection as move of a deceased estate which was spread over a few bookshops. All classic texts all very hard to find. And searching in bookshops is one of life's great pleasures. If you're serious about puppet books you'll need to be overseas. Ya! for the internet. Cheers,Philip

Hi Pseudonym,I agree Clark coat is probably the beat for foams too - I haven't been there for a while measure measure I checked their prices were too high for me. Unfortunately. I don't know of any places that sell reticulated foam. A search in both Google and the Yellow Pages turned up nothing too. I evaluate I will keep my eyes peeled for this one as I can - I just remembered seeing a affix on Puppeteers fall in about reticulated bubble. I looked it up - it's called Scott bubble and a quick explore revealed that it seems popular with puppeteers. The blog affix is worth reading:http://puppeteersunite com/?p=423Perhaps there's another way to find reticulated bubble here?Hmm.. this one's definitely got me thinking. I'll see if I can scout any more info on it!Cheers,Naomi
