FAQ
Q. What are your puppets made of?
A. Paper mache, and sometimes a bit of fabric. I use white glue, toilet paper, newspaper and cardboard
Q. What inspired you to make puppets?
A. I grew up using puppets made with my fingers since I was 5 years old. I learned I could talk without moving my lips when I was about 7 years old but didn't think much of it then. However I learned that this is exactly what ventriloquists do when I was at a school assembley when the puppeteer made her dummy talk with anything, even her hands. Then I got inspired by my mentor's "Markiplier is the King of Five Nights at Freddy's" fanart. My old job threw out a lot of cardboard and I wanted to see if I could replicate it with paper mache. I also listened to a lot of Living Tombstone Five Nights at Freddy's music which ultimately got me fired up. I wanted to listen to the song while looking at these lifesize puppets and man what a show that is!
Q. What is your favourite puppet?
A. My original characters, as they have the deepest connection to me personally. Fabrice being my favourite as well as Snowball, Summer and anything I made that is original belong deep in my heart. I also LOVE Charmander and Piplup as well as Plushtrap and Lolbit being my favourite FNAF puppets
Q. What is the hardest puppet you've made?
A. Gengar, due to his complex framework. It took me a long time to get him layered with tissue and a long time to adjust his mechanics but he's definitely really cool puppet! I love using him in my Lavender Town videos.
Q. How long does it take to make a puppet?
A. About 2 weeks including drying time. The part that takes the longest is waiting to dry the glue.
Q. How did you learn paper mache?
A. I got inspired by a Welsh artist who made a really cool and gory zombie head as well as Art Attack by Neil Buchanan who taught how simple paper mache is. I wanted to make my own "Big Art Attack" with the FNAF puppets and paper mache and I think I have succeeded this goal! My whole puppet family is a big art attack!
Q. Is the Puppet Master Academy free and is there an age limit?
