I’ve seen this popping up at every puppetmaker’s website because it’s all so right. I’m also curious if any of these things sound familiar to my non-puppet making readers.
The reason it’s one of my pet peeves isn’t so much that people don’t bother reading the info available here before contacting me; it’s that when they do contact me, they do so with annoyingly ambigiousity. So with these past experiences in mind, I’d like to “submit for your approval” some basic etiquette guidelines for when you contact a puppet maker about a commission.
I think it goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway: when approaching a puppet maker, do at least try to read the info on their site/publicity materials first.

It sounds true to form. I can only relate by my exp. as a part time pic. framer. 3 C’s Comunicatin, comunicatin, clear-ideas.
Thanks so much for mentioning my post Mary! I’m glad to see that this resounds with other builders out there and I’m not the only one having these problems.
