I am not sure the "market" is growing, but I do think that interest in general is up right now.

For the most part I think that the birthday and school market actually stays pretty steady. If you are willing to hit the price mark for these and do the leg work to get your name out there, then you can make some money at it.

Theater has had a bit of a boost of late simply because there are currently some popular shows out there that use puppets of some kind in them.

Cute. I bet in a year you'll be used to the new layout... of course then it'll change again.

Very nice Lizzie! I think I agree with the others that you should let your partner name em. You'll have to post a pick when you get the box done.

He really is great! So much expression in his face. Love how the ears lay on his head. Job well done!

Great public service announcement! The only real critique I could think of on this one was the length.  I know that commercials on TV are normally a 30 or 60 second spot. This video is a little over 90 seconds. Then again the beauty of the internet is that you are not limited to the time restraints that you have with traditional advertising.

As I understand these creations, they are not actually manipulated by a person but by the wind. I feel for that reason they are not really puppets. They would be more like an automaton or wind up toy.  They do use elements that are used in puppetry and they are incredible creations!

Really nicely done! I assume since you voiced and performed both that each was recorded then combined. Great accomplishment. They really seem to be in the same room talking to each other. The dialogue is very natural and well written.
