My new puppet with the 3d-printed puppet head is now finished. The fur was sewed together and glued on with hot glue, eyes were painted with permanent markers, tongue is made of foam - covered in leather, the teeth were hand-sculpted with Plaast.
The eyes can move left and right, eyelids are movable too.

My brother and sister are rather creeped out by this puppet, but I love it! It was a gift from a missionary family...so great!
This is a legit Universal Monsters King Kong puppet, made by Multi Toys Corp 1991. I didn't do anything to the puppet except add a victim, because you can't really tell it's King Kong without one. I took a Marilyn Monroe PVC, painted the outfit white, and glued it on. I've since sold the puppet, which I highly regret. :(

I'm going to be true to what I want to do, because if I care what people think about me, I'm a puppet. Which I have been in my life. And you can't live life that way, man!

They looked very good lined up on the Banana Tree that we cut down just for them. I think there was about 20 of them all up.
Anyway Happy New Year to all my Flickr Friends.

Week 6 beginning July 30, 2012 and ending August 3, 2012.
The sixth week of camp has come to an end and we have 2 weeks left! This past week of camp kicked off with "Puttin on the Hits" performed by our Jr. and Sr. groups! On Tuesday, the Willows and Jr. camp participated in Puppet Pizzazz! The CITs took a trip to Dave & Busters on Wednesday! We would like to congratulate everyone on a great and successful Color War. Both the Blue team (Superman) and the White team (Spiderman) did an amazing job. But in the end, Spiderman went webbing through the trees to beat Superman to the finish. All became friends and went on to have a great day! The sixth week of camp ended with the "All Camp Cookout & Dance Party". By the pictures you can tell we all had so much fun!

"..Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream.."

I'll be opening up this lion dance puppet when the time comes. I got this in KL last year. I think he's orange, but I remember the seller having pink and blue too. Blue sold out very fast, I believe. No matter, I like orange more those others anyway!
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".
