Thanks!

Hi, do you sell these? I am a Theatre teacher on an American military base and we're in rehearsal for an upcoming production of "The Wizard of Oz." We're looking for our Toto dog and this would be perfect!

[@Creaturiste]

Hi, yes, I make these to order. Email me for all the info! creaturiste @ gmaill.com.

Awww. What a cutie.
Have you ever considered using acrylic rods instead of black? It might blend in a little better.

[@Creaturiste]

Thanks! Black is the usual choice, especially when the stage walls and floor are black. Better if it is matte, so as to reflect less light. Acrylic would be way too reflective and therefore very distracting, in my opinion. Now, it would be perfect for underwater performance though...

[@L00NGB00W]

Creaturiste Yeah, I guess something transparent works in theory, but not in practice.
An underwater puppet show... Now that would be something!

Very impressive, I'm in ore of your skills.
I am currently trying to make a red panda puppet for a theatre production, just wondered what the core of your puppet is made from?
I am currently using plastic pipe and metal rods to make a realist limb movement.

[@Creaturiste]

Thanks!. The core is polyfoam (furniture foam), with wooden parts for where the mechanics are joined.
