Looking for a Puppet Maker

[Keith]

Hi Folks,

I just joined. I am an amateur ventriloquist for Florida, and I'm looking to have a new full-body character made. I've thought about this idea on and off for years, but one of Terry Fator's puppets recently reminded me of it.

Of course I do NOT want a copy of his puppet, simply one in a similar style. To give an idea, please see the photos of his puppet at these links:

I really like the size, dimensions, skinny limbs, and face of Terry's puppet (eyes, nose, freckles). But, I'd like my character to be a little boy with the following:

- a bright orange crew cut/flat top/buzz cut haircut (or perhaps just a tuft or Mohawk)
- with black, horn-rimmed, Buddy Holly-type glasses
- dressed in a black or white T-shirt, blue jeans, and red Converse sneakers

So, if any builder here is interested in this job, or you know of someone who might be, I'd love to chat! Thanks for your time!

I would love to make him, but right now I don't have enough money to make it without the money first, to order mateirials.I will try to take pictures of a few of my puppets and make a link to them.Would you like for me to draw a desighn with those things in mind or would you like to send me a ruough sketch,I'm not that good of a artist but you should get the idea.
Thank you so much for the opportunity
