In a one-room studio in the Phoenix Grand Avenue Historic District, Stacey Gordon brings characters and imagination to life.
"I think it's the same thing that everybody finds fascinating," said Gordon.
"It's the other world that you get to play and live in for a little while." She started puppeteering and building puppets in church when she was 14.
Today, she owns Puppet Pie where she teaches others how to build and bring puppets to life.
