Mascot Costumes
Props/Maquettes
Puppets
Hello!
I am Sally Preisig and I work under the banner of my company Mimics Productions Limited. I have been a creative designer and maker of professional mascot costumes, puppets, soft props, masks and sets since 1988. I have also spent many years on children’s TV being the voice and puppeteer of many characters that you may know.

Work Process
Be it a straight forward garment, a human, insect, animal, vegetable, robot or something from the depths of your imagination no matter whether it is large or small, I assure you, nothing is considered too bizarre! I can work from your specific designs and fabricate them into 3D for you, or feed you with inspirational ideas drawn from years of expertise. mimics productions only make good quality, costumes, puppets, props and fabric sculptures.
I specialize in high quality, no fuss and hand made works of art. All my creations are visually appealing, comfortable to operate and/or wear and they are durable. All commissions are bespoke, each hand crafted with great attention to detail, producing a good quality character. Only the finest and closest matched, for purpose, materials are used to create your final piece.

With the puppets I make and having worked for many years as a TV puppeteer and puppet maker, I am very aware of the drawbacks of complex mechanisms. I do not offer any mechanism or animatronics. If they break down it can hold up an expensive shoot. Good puppeteers don’t need mechanisms, and Jim Henson and company is testament to that! I also offer a reduced rate for building a puppet if I can also have the pleasure of operating it for you as I still love performing and voicing!
My attention to detail has meant continuous positive feedback and perpetual work from my clients, and every piece is made entirely by me. Please take time to browse my Costumes, Puppets, Masks, Maquettes and Props pages to see the gallery of my past work.
