Handmade Joy, One Creation at a Time
Each creature/item is stitched and crocheted with love, in Southcentral Alaska.
Hi, I’m AKPuppetLady!
My name is Janiece. I’m an (almost lifelong) Alaskan artist who stitches creatures and creations of joy from fabric remnants, yarn, and imagination. I’ve sold puppets and dragons to travelers from all over the world—and each one leaves with a story of their own.
I make these with love, even as I navigate chronic kidney disease. Want to learn more or support others like me?
Me in North Pole, Alaska with my lifelong sweetheart, and husband of 49 years, Roy
Straight from the magical workshop of Alaska’s own AKPuppetLady, this handmade fabric dragon is stitched with care, mischief, and a sprinkle of legacy. Measuring approximately 8 inches tall with a tail that stretches another 6 inches, this little beastie is designed to perch, pose, and charm.
Their poseable tail isn’t just for show - it can grip! Whether wrapping around a lamp, curling over your arm, or hanging out on your shoulder like a loyal familiar, this dragon is built for imaginative display and gentle companionship.
