Here you can see my lovely assistant puppet builder modeling the frame of Audrey II number four. The frame is very light and compact, and it is built off of a backpack.
The bar stock for the puppet is fastened together and ready to be covered in foam.
Here is some video of the mouth movement. The puppet will have very accurate lip-synch, and will eat people in a very unique way, but you'll have to wait until later to hear about that...

Excellent movement, and it seems quite light too! When we did Little Shop we rented the larger puppets, and my puppet students worked them, and made and worked the smaller ones. Will you be Audrey? I made the puppeteers black shirts with the word PLANT in white letters across the front, so when they came out at the end the audience knew who worked the plants.
Thank you! Yes, I will be performing Audrey, and I will be auditioning additional puppeteers to control other parts of the plant (You'll see). I just wish that I had black shirts as cool as the ones that you made for your production! Don't give me any crazy ideas...
