Were those your first-ever puppets? They look fab, very much like the 'real' things. Especially for ones not using a pattern.

You should be hiring those out, I know a lot of local amateur groups look constantly for Audreys especially (I get enquiries about it all the time).

Welcome! Sorry for not welcoming you sooner! Everything has been said by other people...

@Na - Yes these are the first puppets I have ever made.  Trekkie was first, followed by Kate and then Audrey.

I also do movie effect make up and prop replicas.  I have a album on my fb with all those in there.  All just for hobbies or attending Draculas Cabaret and so on.

Never had any training in how to do any of this just seem to be able to think...
"I would love to have a Trekkie Monster puppet...  three days later he was finished.
"The wife wants a Kate Monster puppet...  two days later she was almost finished.
"I would love to have a Reverse Bear Trap from Saw...  two days later it was finished.
"I would love to have an Audrey II puppet...  two days later it was finished.

Would love to have a reason behind making these other than just because I feel like it.

Ah well having some experience in replicas and makeup might help... still, for first puppets they're f*ing awesome! I seriously think you could find plenty of people willing to hire those out. I get five or six enquiries every few months about Audreys in particular, and very few people actually advertise they have any for hire so if you were interested it's definitely a market you could go into.

If you are thinking of hiring out Audry puppets, you'll need to make the other versions also.   It bet you are up to it though.

Like I said in a past post...

Recently made a small Audrey II puppet with attached jacket and fake arm.  Wanted one of these since I saw the stage version of Little Shop of Horrors when I was 12.

Have been thinking of making a few others for quite a while.
