I believe these are from the Little Angel puppet theatre. I remember when I first started using Ubuntu linux they were using it too and someone from there was a regular on the community site. The puppets are now in the V&A.

Everybody loves a puppet! A pattern for adult-size hands.

My good friend, Paul, had a sock puppet themed birthday bash back in December.

I couldn't resist the perfect occasion for a severed arm sock puppet cake, complete with out of proportion humerus and ulna bones. ; ) Twas a hit!

I have a hunch I might end up on cakewrecks.blogspot.com again... (last time was for my Tom Selleck Cake).

This puppet was presented to The Queen in Yogyakarta, Java, on 20 March 1974 during her State Visit to Indonesia. The donor was Hamengkubuwono IX, Sultan of Yogyakarta, and first Governor of the Special Region of Yogyakarta; in addition, he was Vice-President of Indonesia.

Mark ‘Spoonman’ Petrakis and I are developing a shadow puppet show we call ‘Ubu’s Dreams’.

This short series of sketches stars Père Ubu, the hero of french poet Alfred Jarry’s surreal plays. In this show, Ubu is constantly dreaming, playing with archetypal characters from our collective unconscious.

For this project, we are creating a variety of wooden figures with a laser cutter: big faces, music notes, dancers, trees and graveyards, to name but a few. We then tape our puppets on wooden sticks, and wave them across the stage to bring them to life, with a projector over our heads.

We plan to continue this experiment through the summer and perform a first puppet show during our Dada exhibit at the Canessa Gallery in North Beach, from Nov. 3 to 12, 2016.

I also plan to use some of these techniques with our lower and middle school students, for the Maker Art courses I will be teaching this fall.

From shadow puppets to poetic robots, these interactive storytelling experiments have the potential to engage us at a deeper level and help us learn more about ourselves.
