Can you make a living doing this? Posted by puppetgospel on Mar 08, 2010
Hi all,
I am curious, is making professional puppets provide enough to make a decent living. It seems a lot of work for a few hundred a puppet.

I really do not know anyone who makes a living making puppets. Even One Way Street sells a lot of stuff that they do not make. There are probably a handful of people who live on what they make.
I use it to supplement our income, but could not live on it. Of course, I do not charge a couple hundred per puppet either.

Amen!................ MsPuppet I second that. I'm lucky if I make enough to keep my supplies restocked and buy a cup of coffee.
