An all dancing, singing, performing skeleton puppet making his owner a living in Rambla de Santa Mónica, Barcelona, Spain. Made me laugh. :-)
China. Fujian province. Xiamen.
Built in 1921, Hi Heaven (Chinese: 海天堂) is the largest old villas on the Gulangyu Island, Xiamen City. Nicknamed as "the Xintiandi" in Xiamen, which is a recreational zone akin to the one in Shanghai, Hi Heaven is the most fashionable and exquisite cultural attraction on the island.
Hi Heaven consists of five buildings, of which three of them are opened to the public, namely No.34, No. 38 and No.42. The No.34 is a café, decorated in southeast Asia style, is a perfect place for a leisure coffee and mind wandering in a sunshine afternoon. The No. 38 is the most characteristic architecture, which is an art gallery displaying the past stories of the old villas and the celebrities once living there. No.42 is a performance center for the Chinese non-material cultural heritages, the magnificent ancient South Music and the fantastic Puppet Show. South Music was formed in Tang Dynasty, which is a performance of a group of people playing with different Chinese orchestral instruments, such as Pipa (a plucked string instrument) and Xiao (a vertical bamboo flute). Puppet show is a traditional show of puppet acrobatics and dramas in China which can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms Period.
As a combinative model of Chinese style and western style, Hi Heaven standing among the numerous exotic architectures in Gulangyu looks vividly unique. Built in symmetrical layout, with a traditional Chinese gateway and overhanging multi-eaves, the walls and corners are also in Chinese ways, while the columns of the buildings are in ancient Greek style, and most of the window decorations are in western style. The central building of Hi Heaven was once a foreign club, and later rebuilt into a palatial architecture by the returned overseas Chinese Huang Xiulang. The most originality of this building is its pavilion-shaped roof with a magic gourd on the top. This "pavilion" is a decorated octangle caisson ceiling which can be accessible from the stairways on the second floor. All the lintels of gates, windows, corridors and halls adorned with cement carving, corners with flowers and plants, and beams with dragon and phoenix
Luna: Awww o Luka vai adorar essa amiguinha! ♥____♥
Luna tinha procurado vários brinquedos para o Luka. Ele era o mais novinho na casa, mas dificilmente gostava de brincar com eletronicos. Observando, ela percebia que junto com o Hiver e os fantochinhos, Luka se divertia adoidado e não demorou muito para pedir emprestado o ursinho.
Era tão fofo!!
Luna: Meu bebezinho vai ficar tão feliz! Então coloco a mão aqui e a boquinha mexe. AWWWW KA-KAWAIIヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ Agora precisa de um nome e tem que ser bem bonitinho pra--
"Mas eu ja tenho nome Ó3Ò"
Uma vozinha saia do bichinho, abrindo e fechando a boca sem nem ao menos Luna mexer a mão.

. . . . . . .
Luna: AI MEU DEUS DO CÉU!!! ＼(º △ º l|l)/ TA VIVO, TA VIVO!!!
Pisti: Moça, moça!!! @△ @ T___T Bububu- buaaaaaaa
O ursinho começava a chorar enquanto Luna tremia feito maré verde, parando quando percebia o pequeno em sua mão muito assustado, quebrando uma partizinha do seu coração. Ela não aguentava ver alguém fofo triste. Melhor, ninguém triste.
Luna: Owwn Ç ~ Ç n-não chore amiguinho. Desculpe te balançar, mas.. mas…. Quem é você?
Pisti: Sou Pisti (Ç3Ç) e.. sou amigo do Hiver. Ele disse que queria alguém que conversasse com ele, então ç___ç comecei a falar.
Luna: O___O………. Unn, bom você faz ele feliz óuò’’'' Gosta de fazer amizades, Pisti?
Pisti: Uhum uhum *3* *3* Quanto mais amiguinhos, melhor! ^3^
Luna tinha quase uma crise de fofura ali. Era uma criaturinha adorável e macia, mesmo que não soubesse o “verdadeiro” motivo de enfeitiçar um fantoche, mas.. AWWWWWWW quem se importa!????
Luna: Ooooooooiiiiin você é tão fofinho! ♥____♥ Ai maria da bicicletinha, Pisti! Posso cuidar de você?? Acho que o Hiver não vai se importar e você também não, né?? ♥ ♥
Pisti: Ele disse que você é uma moça muito legal! ♥ >w< E é bonita também! ~~chuuu ♥
E quem disse que a Luna esqueceu completamente que ia levar para o Luka? Hein hein? G___G Ahhh *Suspiro profundo* Ainda bem que o bebe e o pai são iguais. Dois ursos que dormem o ano inteiro, basta cair no sofá com uma coberta!

For Ella, a girl of 6 years, I made recently these puppets, the back is colored too. They look like Ella and her mother. Wearing the fashionable wide pants they had just bought. Immediately after receiving this small present Ella started to play with them and make more paper puppets. She wished to make friends for these puppets. And a house with furniture. She spent many quiet hours with this play.
When I was 6/10 years old I made hundreds of these small puppets to play with. Series. They had names.
Sometimes they were based on books I was reading.
Some young children like these puppets very much.They immediately start to play with them. It is easy for them to make more of these.
Later I added this link to a short text in Dutch about magical thinking of children.http://www.lettertempel.nl/gedicht?storyid=33843. I tried to translate this short text in my limited English:
The invisible bite.
The child placed all the dolls
in a circle on the bed.
A tablecloth in the middle.
And one cookie there.
Child went out of the room
for a while ...for it knew.
My dolls do not want me
to know...they are alife,
to see how they move
and talk and laugh.
Then the child returned
and picked up the cookie.
All my dolls took a bite.
Do not want me to know they did.
So it is an invisible bite.
The child ate what was left.
;
Every each puppet has a three rods: one is fixed to the body, while the other two fixed to each hand.

As promised, here's Mr Cleaver's Trombonnet for your Kitten I-Po puppet! It's a tricky one, with lots of fiddly bits, so you're going to need a scalpel, a steady hand, and lots of patience. With that in mind, this is one best left to the adults, perhaps.
Okay, so I'm sure it goes without saying that you'll need to make the I-Po puppet first. Once he's smiling up at you from your table, you can right click and save the Trombonnet image, print it out, and glue it to cereal card (allowing proper drying time).
You can try cutting it out with scissors but you'll quickly start cursing my name, so a sharp craft knife or scalpel is the way to go. Just remember that your safety is more important than a cardboard puppet so, if you're struggling, losing skin or spurting red liquid, have a rethink and improvise an alternative (seeking medical attention first, of course).
Don't forget to remove the white areas inside the tubing. Detach I-Po's left arm (if necessary) and replace it with the curved version supplied here. Sticky-tack the face/Trombonnet over the existing head then poke the new paw through the slider (that's the big yellow, backwards D shape on the bottom left - which doesn't actually slide, before you ask) and sticky-tack it in place if necessary.
By now (and unless I've forgotten something) you should be done and ready to thrust your finished I-Po with Trombonnet into the expectant mitts of your excited children. Hurrah!
I hope you enjoy your new Trombonnet. It's another prototype so there may be issues that need resolving, but I credit you all with enough intelligence to work out your own solutions. Think of it as Cardboard Kitty Cat Beta Testing.
As always, please share with your friends and please be careful with sharp implements. And, if your I-Po performs in any of your Youtube films, let me know. I'd love to see them.
Each puppet requires three highly skilled people to operate. The result is a figure that moves like a human.
Some of the 55 cookies made for and with Sarah and Michelle. These are further to some cookies I made a while back. these will be sold over the next few days to help raise funds to pay for the production of a DVD based upon the puppet.
