Well this was a fun project for today ☺️ I found this Piggie garden statue on facebook marketplace and decided it fit right in with the rest of the concrete crew 🪿 🐄 🐶 🐿️ 🐖. I spent the day getting it all spiffied up with some fresh paint. What do you think we should call it?

Happy World puppetry day! 🎉💕 I’m feeling extra grateful today for this wonderfully weird, wildly creative community of puppeteers and puppet lovers. Getting to bring characters to life, tell stories, be silly, be heartfelt, and most of all, getting to play with so many like-minded humans is something I don’t take for granted.

I’m looking forward to more puppet projects already in the works, and to continue building alongside and whom I recently joined on a visit to Whimsy Woods where I assisted Big Mama in getting her headshots taken by 📸

Thank you for cheering on the kooky projects I get involved in, sharing your art and ideas, and for embracing the joy that puppets can bring to people, young and old, and as I’ve recently learned, to animals as well 💛

Puppet mama, real babies!
This was such an awesome moment I got to experience thanks to the , this weekend at ! These little babies are about two months old and recently orphaned 🥺 My and I got to simulate the movement they’re already used to from being on their real mothers’ back. Thank you to all the vendors and visitors at CritterCon who helped raise funds for organizations such as the Wildlife Foster Program and other rescue groups 🐰 🦝 🐍 🐦💕

It’s almost time for CritterCon! Last year’s event was so much fun, I can’t wait to do it again 😃 Artists from all over will be there to educate, entertain and share in the festivities as we raise funds for the and other deserving small rescues giving care to critters in need 🦨 🦝 🐦💕 This year’s event features booths by soooo many talented artist and small businesses. Way too many to list and tag here so go check out the lineup ! There’s a special “Concrete Jungle” cruise and a booth for all things where you’ll get to meet Big Mama Squatch 🌲 ✨ I hope to see you at the Boys and Girls club of Stanton on March 14th from 12pm to 8pm for a suggested donation of $2 that goes directly towards helping animals in need ❤️‍🩹

Filming with Big Mama in the dreamiest studio space in Sonoma, California 🍃✨ Here’s a sneak peek behind the scenes!
Thank you so much !
We had the absolute joy of shooting at a studio with decades of storytelling in its bones. Images in Motion has an Emmy award winning team of artists with a wide array of skill & experience.
High ceilings. Warm light. Room to create.
The kind of space where imagination stretches out and gets comfortable! Filming with ’s Big Mama was just one of the fun projects we got into. I’ll post about the others soon 😄
If you’re developing a film, series, commercial, or passion project, reach out to ! The studio is available and ready for new stories to unfold within its walls. The team can definitely add that extra spark into your next project! Truly a gem in Sonoma. 💎
Huge thanks to Lee Armstrong of as well as Bill Ferguson who did the lighting, and to Heather Gobée, Mama’s right hand gal and all around wonderful ray of sunshine in human form ☀️ 💕

I’ve had some new followers join lately and it’s been a while since I’ve done this so I wanna reintroduce myself: My name is Marisol 🌊 ☀️ but I go by the phonetic spelling “Moddy”. I’m an educational puppeteer and ventriloquist in Sacramento, CA. On this account you will meet handmade characters, tiny improvised adventures, behind-the-scenes builds, and the occasional puppet who definitely believes they run the account (they might be right).

I’m so happy you found your way here 😃 Whether you’re a puppeteer, a maker, a storyteller, or someone who enjoys puppets and the various puppetry arts you belong here. 💛
