I made this puppet for Karen Gillian at her request. She showed it off in her British Vogue walk through of her house.
One of a kind puppets
What does a puppet cost?
Short version is that it depends on the puppet. The more time/complexity the more it will cost.
There is a basic $60 materials fee that is due before I start to make your very own puppet.
The minimum is $180 dollars (60 materials 120 for the puppet) for large hand puppet. That is face, hair, basic clothing and a stand for the puppet. The small hand puppets are 60 minimum. My signature puppet called Phluzzie is 80 minimum. The price goes up from there depending on what you want.
Shipping is not included in this price and will be calculated separately.
Rods are an additional $30.
What kind of puppets will you make?
My preferred types of puppet is hand and rod puppet or hand puppet. I can make shadow puppets or string puppets or body puppets. You can ask for a quote on those.
I will not recreate another puppeteer’s work. I will not make a Cookie Monster or an Elmo or a Kermit. I will not make Avenue Q puppets.
If you want a Doctor Who puppet or a comic book character or your favorite TV character, I will build those.
I will build puppets of people but need reference to do it.
I will build off of a design that you own.
How long will it take?
That’s a it depends on the complexity of the puppet and if I have the materials on hand.
I have a total of 8 slots a month available but a puppet can take up 2 slots if needed.
Each puppet is a one of a kind creation and are built to be used professionally.
Please feel free to email me with any other questions you might have.
