CREATURES, COSTUMES & PUPPETS

I've always been a huge fan of sci-fi, horror and fantastical movies. "What if?" is the fuel that propels the creatures in my head into reality. The process is often complicated but the end result will surely delight! Everything is made by hand in the Creature Shop on Daniel Island.

WHAT IF???

“Kris is always amazing to work with. When we worked on a recent photoshoot her ideas, suggestions and support were all critically important to the success of the project. Her energy and spirit is contagious. Kris is a wonderful “think outside the box” type of creative spirit. I can’t wait to work with Kris again! “   Peter Finger, professional photographer.

“ Kris is amazing. She took the concepts from my workshop and instantly put them into service of creating a fully articulate, gorgeously sculpted dragon creature. Her talent and positivity are inspiring. I love seeing her new creations on Instagram. The web is a truly brighter place because of her. Long live the Charleston Mother of Dragons!" - David Lane, Old Trout Puppet Workshop
Puppets are delightful, whimsical and one of my favorite things to build. Check out the process:
