Puppet Costume Creation
I create costumes that enhance the puppets personality. From Eleanor’s perfectly proportioned jeans and bomber jacket, to Matata’s safari uniform, every piece is crafted with the same care and precision as a full-scale wardrobe. Working alongside Talk to the Hand Puppets, I approach every garment with consideration, whether it’s a spy-style tactical jacket for Perry the Pig of the Quorn adverts, or transforming an extra, extra large sheriffs shirt from the costume department into Little Tom’s outfit for Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
My process balances storytelling, functionality, collaboration, and durability, ensuring each puppet can move freely while staying camera-ready. From fabric sourcing to final styling, working pockets to the perfect shoes, I focus on the elements that make the characters feel real, because in miniature costuming, even the smallest imperfection can destroy the illusion.
