heartstrings puppets

 Heartstrings Puppets, located in the Comox Valley, BC, is devoted to the creation of puppets and puppet shows that will pull at your heartstrings. Still in its infancy stages, it began as a thought bubble in early 2023, while I was in the process of relocating from the middle of BC to the coast.

My mission is to “Create. Make. Share. Spread joy.”

I envision my puppet creations visiting schools, group homes, retirement residences, birthday parties and festivals, spreading joy with their antics and stories. My dolls will be up for adoption, as will some of the puppets I make. Commissions gladly accepted.

As I develop my shows and ideas, please enjoy the pictures and videos of my “firsts”, created in a course taught online by a master puppeteer in Iceland.
