here we have the finished puppet, sorry I have no detailed pics of painting it and such but I was running out of time and forgot to take pics. anyway I can explian from the pics we have here. basically the pot the plant is sitting in is a kid pool painted rust color. I also added some brown spray painted foam inside and a small stool for the puppeteer to sit on helping her to stand when the play calls for it. also the leaves on the back are cut from foam sheeting and painted green with yellow trim and the balck lines are permenent marker. also the leaves have a thick wire down the center to help the hold there shape and they are attached to the pot with hot glue on the back and the extra wire going under the brown foam the puppeteer sits on. the pod is spray painted green with dark green foam warts hot glued on, the mouth is covered with a soft felt like maroon fabric with small foam teeth hot glued in. and lastly the puppet is stuffed with balloons to make it as light as possible. and of caorse they will need refilling from time to time.

I recently directed a production of Little Shop where, due to a very restrictive budget, we had to build our own puppets. In all of the Audrey II construction research that we did, your photos and descriptions were easily the most helpful. Our limited budget and puppet-making experience meant that ours were nowhere near as impressive looking as yours, but I just wanted to drop a note of thanks for the help your work provided.
Thank you Evan Mousseau, I only regret that I have not yet posted the first two audrey puppets, luckly though they are the easiest.
