@avlmakerfaire 2026 edition is now in the rear view and I have so many more ideas to implement for the booth next year!
Big thanks to @sillysidehustles for taking the time to come hang and help me with some mischief and laughs in the shop for more than a few day - was a real treat for our community to experience such infectious joy for play from a guy like you.
The Maker Faire crew does a great job with this event and I was so happy to be a part of it again for the second year in a row.
Excellent to meet so many new people that are down to collaborate on future projects and also see some repeat visitors from last year!
Thank you ALL for taking the time to swing by and talk puppets with us today. 🤘👹🤘

Pizza Monster hard shell animatronic coming SOON to @beercitypizzaavl
Nylon shells are officially in hand and have headed off to processing and paint!
These nylon sls prints have captured an incredible amount of detail from the original digital sculpt and all shells are fitting together with their magnetic flanged attachments.
Motion control programming is underway - stay tuned as this project comes together within the next few weeks!

Beardo Update:
Check out this completely fit custom wardrobe by Jen Knoblauch!
Bow tie, French cuffs on a perfectly pimp paisley shirt AND the vest - Don’t forget the hat, of course!
Lots of things happening all at once with multiple projects as we gear up to be ready for the @avlmakerfaire ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!
I’m looking forward to seeing you there.

We’ve been building a Labubu with AI so it can think and talk to you, and now we’re starting to build the space it’ll live in.
We went for a small, whimsical woodland setup… it feels like the kind of place where they’d do their little mischiefs. What do you think? 🤔😊
Special thanks to @blueridgecharacterworkshop for collaborating with us on this build!

Beardo update:
Hair line has been established and sewn in.
Going for a reverse mullet look - slick pimp in the back and Asheville hippy in the front.
Face/hand seams groomed and haircut applied by the ever talented @shortbred !
Come meet Beardo live and in person at the @avlmakerfaire on April 18th!

We’re building a Labubu that can think and talk… but first, we need to plan out how it moves. So we’re turning to 3D to visualize it, test different motions, and see what actually feels right before anything gets built.
Special thanks to @blueridgecharacterworkshop for working with us on bringing this build together!
