Puppets

Grandpa and Rebel

“I was watching a soap opera and all of a sudden an earthquake took place,” says Natcharin, a 13-year old girl who lives in Chiang Saen, northern Thailand. “My mum and I hid under the table and bed. If there is a disaster, people in our community will be in trouble."

Natcharin recently attended a 2-day workshop with 29 other children from 4 villages to create characters and stories to use for a shadow puppet show all about disasters.

“In our story, we want to talk about how it isn’t good to ignore flood warnings. I’ll use my knowledge to perform for adults and children so that they know how dangerous disasters can be”.

Shadow puppetry is an effective way for vulnerable children and communities to learn about disaster risk reduction using easy, fun and engaging media. In partnership with Plan Thailand, the organisation Wondering Moon uses shadow theatre to tell stories of disasters.

Rod puppet heads made from carved styrofoam balls covered in papermache. Hands were made from air dry clay. Head is supported by a dowel, and arm structure is a rope tied to the dowel, onto which the costume is built. Arms are manipulated by a wire hanger that was cut in half and straightened.-HS puppetry class

I wanted to practice frankensteining and this idea came into my head so I just randomly did it.

Girl power lol!

Hillsborough, NC ran its first annual Handmade Puppet Parade on October 11, 2008. Folks made giant puppets representing creatures from the local Eno River. I shot the parade for the Chapel Hill News.

The boy puppet armature was constructed by taking apart helping hands soldering tools and using them for the major joints in his legs, hips, and neck. The arms consist of wire covered with brass tube bones.

Annual pilgrimage to the Sunapee Craft Fair today with sister Sue and friend Donna. So many beautiful and fun crafts to admire. I did manage to bring a few home from my favorite artisans.

Wow, I have more plush raccoons than I thought...

This is a Dakin hand puppet that my stepdad had lying around his house when my mom moved in with him...I sort of adopted him shortly afterward.
