From the Oliver + S pattern for Puppet Show Tunic, Dress, and shorts. Used a linen blend for the shorts and mini pink confetti dots for the top, all in size 2T. Now I just need some summer weather so that my daughter can wear it!
Probably my favorite puppet shorts so far.
The khaki twill was a dream to sew (perfect weight)

Called "marionette show" in ancient China, a puppet show is a theatre performance in which puppet figures are made to move by puppeteers pulling strings or by putting their hands inside them.
In China, the origin of puppets dates back to the Shang Dynasty, when the custom of burying slaves alive with their deceased masters was practiced. Of the 3,000 funeral objects excavated from the Yin Ruins in Anyang City, there are pottery figurines of slaves with cangues. In the Warring States Period, there appeared entertaining figurines used in story-telling and singing performances as props. And such art forms became popular. After the Han Dynasty, a puppet show gradually developed into a folk art combining opera, literature, sculpture and painting that appealed to both humans and divinities.
During the Three Kingdoms Period, there were "water-driven one hundred play" featuring exquisitely-made puppets performing humanlike singing, dancing and acrobatics. In the Song Dynasty, puppet shows enjoyed an unprecedented boom, with a wide variety of puppet types used in the plays, including string puppets, rod puppets, water puppets, pyrotechnic puppets, iron stick puppets, glove puppets and flesh puppets etc.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, puppet plays caught on in all areas. By integrating with local operas, various kinds of regional puppet plays came into being, such as Heyang string puppet play of Shaanxi and Zhangzhou glove puppet play of Fujian. Puppet shows also advanced with the times. After the movie came into being, they found their way into the movie field, creating increasing impact of puppet shows.
In former times, a puppet show was one of the most popular entertaining art forms among ordinary people. Such shows were usually staged on occasions like sacrificial rituals and festive banquets, adding color to people's life. In modern times, however, puppet shows suffered decline due to war chaos. But they caught on again shortly after the war.
After 1949, except for a handful of private puppet troupes, most others were restructured as government-funded troupes. While retaining traditional plays, these puppet troupes created a large number of modern plays, also known as "civilized new plays".
Another view of the puppet show in progress. The speed at which the puppets moved and the sheer colour and variety of them was very impressive indeed, and despite the language barrier, it was at times full of slapstick comedy. The puppets are tied to long bamboo sticks and are worked by a team of humans behind the screen. (Hanoi, Vietnam, Oct./ Nov. 2016)
Meagan and I went to the "Peter Rabbit" Puppet Show today at the library. Notice the sign in Maori over the puppet theatre.

Le Guarattelle, termine ancora usato per le strade di Napoli, sono spettacoli di burattini con protagonista Pulcinella. Con la sua forza gestuale e ritmo musicale Gianluca Di Matteo ha rapito Hong Kong.
La spettacolo è dedicato alle "Anime del Purgatorio”, metafora e simbolo di tutti i popoli del mondo.
Addestrato nell'arte dai maestri Bruno Leone e Salvatore Gatto, Di Matteo è andato oltre il teatro tradizionale, esplorando giochi di ombre suggestive e situazioni burlesche.

"Puppets draw crowds to Oakland's Ferry Land for over 50 years
Oakland Tribune, Feb 26, 2004 by Kathleen Grant Geib, STAFF WRITER
RANDAL J. Metz's history of puppetry at Children's Fairyland in Oakland reads like a who's who of puppeteers in America.
It's also a terrific introduction to the world of puppets, particularly the world that has existed on the shores of Lake Merritt for more than half a century.
"Storybook Strings: 50 Years of Puppetry at Children's Fairyland's Storybook Puppet Theater" (Rappid Rabbit Publishing, $19.95) is as much a visual history of puppetry as a written one. More than half of Metz's book is dedicated to lively black-and-white photos of puppet shows, puppeteers and theater directors.
Metz's book also contains early Fairyland photos. You can view architect William Russell Everritt's models of Fairyland sets and a photo of William Penn Mott Jr. and Arthur E. Navlet, the creative minds behind Fairyland.
Metz describes Fairyland as a fun, accessible family park from the moment it opens in 1950. Even before the Storybook Puppet Theater is completed in 1956, puppet shows prove to be Fairyland's most popular entertainment. Metz describes the park as a magnet for the Bay Area's talented puppeteers.
Early puppet shows are presented by influential artists Ralph Chesse and Lettie Connell Schubert. Schubert is also particularly active in the early years of the San Francisco Bay Area Puppeteers Guild (SFBAPG).
Frank and Dorothy Hayward and Bruce Sedley also provide puppet shows at Fairyland in the early '50s. The Haywards' shows are part magic, part puppet-and-marionette shows, and Metz describes Frank as a gifted magician.
Hayward and Sedley
Upon completion of Storybook Theater, the Haywards are named puppet theater directors. Unfortunately, Frank suffers a fatal heart attack shortly after, leaving Dorothy both sole director and new mother.
In recognition for the theatrical support she receives from SFBAPG members after Frank's passing, Dorothy co-creates the San Francisco Bay Area Puppet Fair, an annual gathering of puppeteers at Fairyland.
Sedley, another early puppeteer, is famous at Fairyland not only for his sidekick King Fuddle, a ventriloquist puppet with whom he hosts cartoon shows on television, but also as creator of the Children's Fairyland Story-
book Magic Key.
Sedley's key idea begins when the puppeteer announces, on his television show, tours of Fairyland sets with King Fuddle. The puppeteer expects a few kids, but as the tours become popular, Sedley fears he will lose his voice from telling so many stories. Instead, he develops the idea of a Magic Key that kids insert into a "Talking Storybook" at each set, allowing them to listen to a story or song.
You can almost hear Metz's glee when he says Sedley's idea is still used in zoos and kids parks around the world. You never know what will emerge from the world of puppets, he seems to say.
Urbano and Coad
After Hayward retires as puppet theater director in 1959, handsome and talented Tony Urbano is appointed. Metz includes a photo of Urbano posing with his marionette, Prince Charming. It's uncanny how much they look alike.
Metz describes Urbano as a natural puppeteer who, as a youth, is fortunate enough to work with both Chesse and Schubert. After a stint in the armed forces, Urbano returns to Fairyland and works with Hayward and a young Frank Oz, of Muppets fame.
Unfortunately, Urbano's love of theater leaves him overworked, and in 1962 he bids farewell to Fairyland. The puppeteer's eclectic career includes television ads starring Snuggle Bear and the Parkay Tub and work in both "Men In Black" films. more>>

Birthday Party dress cut shorter, with front pleated section converted into a non-pleated section. Shorts are my all-time favorite puppet show
Queen's Day celebrates the birthday of the Queen of the Netherlands and is supposed to be a day of national unity and "togetherness". Queen's Day is known for its "freemarket" all over the country, where everybody is allowed to sell things in the streets.
During the celebrations as reference to the colours of the House of Orange-Nassau, people dress in the colour orange, which is sometimes called "orange craze"

Not quite sure if this is my favorite Liberty print as I have quite a few favorites ...
Yet, it's quite lovely and soft and suits my current "sewing" mood (peaceful, slow and blue sewing)
The selected pattern is O+S Puppet Show Tunic because I just realize that my little girl is growing out of this pattern very fast ...

Puppet Show” – DIGITAL COLOR SERIES
These images portray a world hung on strings, figures pulled in different directions by a seemingly invisible hand, de-saturated to appear unreal. The stage is the frame from which we look into, or the frame shows ownership of the figures within it. In this series of work a figure, or rather a human doll is put on display in a world “controlled” and examined by a probing puppeteer. The hand is the master and the world is set upon a stage for all to see. Figures put on a show within the confines of the dimension created by others; their true reflection being that of a human doll. Found images were then used for the purpose of explaining the world as premade and we, the figures, are merely a “doll” to dance around within it.
Simple, brief and uninspiring puppet shows are performed every hour weeknights and weekends at Casa Bonita.
Casa Bonita, located at 6715 West Colfax Avenue in Lakewood, is the last remaining location of a former small chain of Mexican-themed "entertainment" restaurants which was started by Bill Waugh in Oklahoma City in 1968. The Lakewood location opened in 1974 and survived two corporate sales and a spinoff before being designated a historic landmark of the city in 2015. Seating over 1,000 people at a time, Casa Bonita features strolling mariachis, a puppet theater, multiple arcades, a haunted tunnel, and a large 30-foot centerpiece waterfall with cliff divers. Casa Bonita was prominently featured in a Comedy Central South Park episode named, "Casa Bonita."
It's a long drive through winter rice paddies from Old Hanoi to Halong. One of our stops is just short of Halong, at the rural village of Yen Duc, for lunch and a water-puppet show.
Vietnamese water puppetry, or mua roi nuoc, dates back to the tenth or eleventh century when the folk stories were first performed in the communal ponds in the Red River Delta area of northern Vietnam. When the rice fields flooded, villagers entertained each with the puppet plays.
