custom sock puppets by Tiger Kandel & Heather Schloss
When designing a new character we use a combination of photos, drawings and imagination for inspiration. By utilizing the original sock puppet-making techniques we have pioneered, and routinely challenging ourselves to develop new ones, we continue to break the boundaries of what was previously thought possible in a sock puppet.
