Hi, i love the idea of puppet strings and a hat for tips. I mostly work on reddit where we use "tip jars" (in the form of links) to get tipped for our photo editing, so i have a very positive connection to that item :-)
Also i want to say, they both have very fitting gestures for converting them into puppets.
I do photo editing most every day and i like creative edits (like this one) the most.
Since my background is drawing, painting, woodworking AND tailoring, i think you can get a satisfying end result from me. (i don't apply to many projects, only to those who touch me somehow)
My bid is calculated for 5-6 hours of work, that includes the research for a little bit of puppet inspiration, the search for strings, screws and a propper hat, and of course the photo editing itself.
best regards, Martin
