FROM IMAGINATION TO REALITY.
Find your inspiration......breathe life into your creation.

​Debra can create your original design or character from paper or a photo, into a puppet.  The puppets are mouth-operated, and quite life-like. 
Please do not ask for commercial copyrighted characters to be reproduced, (i.e. from a book, movie or television show) unless it is your own copyrighted work.
Please note: images are subject to copyright.

WHAT DO YOU NEED?
 Whatever your requirements, I can collaborate on design and quote on special orders.

PUPPETRY FOR AUTHORS.
Looking for a great way to share stories? I created my first puppets back in 1991 to engage children in the classroom, at church and in school assemblies. They are an effective way of bringing your story to life. They are also a wonderful way to have children interact with your story.
Over the years, people began enquiring where they could get puppets like mine, so my late husband John Clewer and I started taking custom orders. He developed our first website in 1999, and many custom builds have gone around the world since.
 My author journey began in 2015. With three self-published Middle-Grade novels under my belt, I brought my protagonist, Harriet, and another character to life in 2019. I have a Junior Fiction title and created the protagonist, Ah-Fur, and antagonist, Ratho, for the book when it was released. Since 2018, I have been bringing other author’s characters to life, both here in Australia and in the U.S. Some are repeat customers. I charge reasonable rates, and custom orders can vary due to the type of fabric required, the fabric cost and the amount of work involved.
If you are looking for something unique for your author appearances, YouTube, school visits and/or library visits, you might like to have a character created for the purpose. When I released my 3rd self-published novel in 2019, I ran a kid’s writing workshop at our local library and had Harriet as a co-host on the day with props.
I have run puppet-making and training workshops since 2002, and for those who haven’t used puppets before, I can include how-to notes and tips.
