Hello,
My name is Monica O. Rivera and I am the author of the book called, "Lola The Spider and Purple Crayon" I am looking for someone to make me a puppet of my unique looking spider. Maybe in the near future I can sell my book along with small finger puppets or larger...Know that Lola the spider is not your ordinary looking spider, if you go into Amazon (or Barnes & Noble, etc.) you can see the front cover. I look forward in hearing from someone...

Hi Monica! Welcome to the boards. I think you will probably have several talented people interested in helping you! (Me included)

My website is here: Chatterbox Puppets

Here's a link to a previous spider puppet I made for a friend (who named her Charolette): Charolette Pupppet

If you would like to discuss further, you can message me via the site, the facebook page, or send me a PM on here.

Feel free to look at the other albums on the facebook page or on the site.

For everyone else reading this thread, here's a copy of the book cover:

Good luck in finding your builder!

Thank you for your quick response...I loved your website... The puppets in the classroom setting, reminded me of my two daughters...LOL. The things that I will consider in choosing the puppet maker will be the following:
*Custom work
*Cost
*puppet rights (i.e. once its made do I get the rights to my custom made puppet?)
*The right fit (i.e. in other words building a rapport to create a Picazzo-my Lola the Spider puppet)
Finally, FYI-I will be using this puppet to reach to children with special needs and without, and readings in public schools, bookstores, libraries, etc. My book has a great message and it's an awesome story for children...
Kindly,
Monica

Monica,
So pleased you made it!  Hey folks this could be a great opportunity to collaborate with the author of a book. Lola is a really cute spider.
Link no longer available.

I love to work with you .. but I doubt you want to pay shipping from Spain. But if not, you can see my work on my blog Puppetilandia. Thanks in advance.
Cristina

Hello Christina, Yeah! the shipping would be high...but thank you

Hey, Shawn yes, I made it...I know Lola is no ordinary spider, she has spunk! LOL

Hi Monica, Glad you've joined us.  As Lola said there are many talented builders here.  I'd be happy to speak with you about you Spider puppet.  You can see examples of our work at www.outoftheboxpuppets.com Check out the Custom Creations tab.

You should also check out www.drpuppet.com and www.pjspuppets.com

Lola, i forgot how cute your spider puppet was.

What a great project idea! I'm sure this community will deliver you a Splendid Spider! I think finger puppets of the crayons would be rather funky as well (slightly less complicated than a talkin spider!) Look forward to seeing who/how and what emerges from this opportunity. If it's not a copyright issue, can we see pics as it develops from the builder?

Hello,
Thank you for your replies. I loved your website out of the box..you are so right...My four year old son was so engaged while looking at the different characters in your website..How fun...Okay..lets talk..Oh, yeah..I tried going into the out of the box link and it did not work so I used the other provided... Wow..I had never experienced a world of puppets...You guys are so talented and amazing...
To awaken the imaginations of people all over this world through puppets...is priceless..
