The Puppets of 2023


In 2023 we created (at last count) 82 original puppet characters for performers in 15 US states (and Canada)!
Not to mention all the costume pieces and specialty props built for various stage productions...

2024 is already looking to be a HUGE year for building and creating, we hope you'll stick around for all of it!

More soon!

What's Crackin'?


This year I took on the daunting task of creating two new break-away Nutcrackers for Lafayette Center for Dance and their annual production of 'The Nutcracker', replacing the over-worked (and under paid) soldier who has been in the show for MANY years and was ready for retirement:

I heavily modified an off-the-shelf Nutcracker I purchased at Wal-Mart with new pieces and parts to match his life-sized counterpart's existing costume and added some strategic dowels and Velcro so he didn't fall apart (until he was supposed to...)

We've loved being part of this show for the last four years, and I'm proud to have finally left my artistic mark on it! 

More soon,
Avery
