These wooden hinged dolls are used with a board that is vibrated by hand. The puppets feet are standing on the board and as the board is twanging up and down it hits the feet and makes the puppets dance. They can be made to dance a rhythem which sounds like tap dancing or step dancing. It's a French Canadian folk art. I haven't a clue what they are really called

He who cannot change the very fabric of his thought will never be able to change reality, and will never, therefore, make any progress.

The wife's fights Saturday and Sunday were performed as a 'puppet' fight. Two mages control them with magic and battle it out.

One very popular form of entertainment in Prague are its puppet theatres, and you’ll find puppets for sale in many of the souvenir shops in the tourist areas.
Marionettes first came to Bohemia in the late 1600s, brought in by performers from across Europe, notably France, Italy and the Netherlands, but by the 1700s, the Czechs had established their own companies.
At first these puppets were almost lifesized, and were used as a cheaper alternative to paying real actors. Some shows used only puppets whilst others had a combination of live actors and marionettes, depending on what they could afford. Eventually though, as the puppet makers developed their skills and wanted to experiment, they began to make more stylised puppets, using the form and appearance of the puppet to portray or emphasise certain attributes of the character.
Today you’ll find various performances running in Prague, perhaps the most famous being the National Marionette Theatre in the Old Town, which famously performs Mozart’s Don Giovanni using puppets (Don Giovanni also has a strong connection with Prague, having had its world premiere here in 1787).
Hakka Puppets, Tulou Roundhouse
Near YongDing, Fujian, China
For my birthday I've got a group of my favorite pix from last month's visit to the Hakka Tulou dwellings. The first photo in the set has links and much more information on this group of ancient, unique homes.
one of my first puppets (7 years ago), designed for a puppet show that didn't come to life (yet) after the novel "Moscow-Petushky" by Venedict Yerofeyev. this one is an unfinnieshed puppet of a drunken angry woman with a moustache and a brown barret. the eyes are closing&opening, the mouth is opening, the legs have a walking mechanism and the hair is hudden in the hat untill the alcohol causes mass hallucination and then it springs up and reveels snake heads on the hair tips- like a meduza-gorgona
Rocky Raccoon....so cute and easy to make. Credit goes to Maya for developing the pattern and creating the puppet. Get the template on our site, www.easy-child-crafts.com/paper-bag-puppets.html.
