Need to clear images from the phone to make room for some more. Came across this pic of Myanmar traditional puppets which had so caught my fancy there. Wanted to buy them and bring them home, but I didn't know how to carry them back and where I'd hang them up. Now I just took a pic and walked away...so before I clear it from the phone, thought would add a frame from one of the numerous unused apps I have and post it here :)

I bought this creepy puppet at an estate sale last year for $3. And I can't remember where I bought Jessie. I might have gotten her at a flea market in Berkley last year. It was love at first sight for the two of them, and have they been inseparable. I did a photo shoot with them awhile back, and am just now uploading the photos.

Here they are enjoying the great outdoors.

Seems "Puppet Joss" has been around. "What's inappropriate is what we do with Puppet Joss" Jennifer Stuller, one of the panelists, said. "I had to ask the cast to stop taking pictures and posting them on twitter. I didn't want Joss to know," said Jo Jo Stiletto, another.
