our first try in making a marionette puppet... [ journal entry ]
marionette puppet 1: aina maninonet... aina named the puppet.
My needle felted raccoon puppet is made from wool, he has bead eyes, a cute striped tail and a waxed nose. Use your raccoon puppet to help tell a story or act out a daily event. Adults and educators like to give puppets to children because they stimulate the imagination; children love puppets because they're fun!
Raccoon Puppet: 13" tall x 8" wide
The puppet's name is Slappy. I made him out of dumptser scrounged styrofoam the night before a shoot. His head once protected a home stereo.
He was supposed to resemble Robert Deniro.

I finally figured out my puppet friends and made some. I even learned to crochet letters so I could personalize them! Read about it at JubilantJessi.blogspot.com
I love the collar on this! The whole dress was a little fiddly and a couple of times I was sure I'd missed a step but I trust Liesel and sure enough it turned out perfectly. There will be many more of these.

Puppet in a house on the High Street in Edinburgh. The performers were taking a break.
Taken with Voigtländer Nokton 50mm f1.1 lens on Panasonic G1.
Poison Ivy joined the cast today. The basic construction is similar to the other plants...foam rubber and Noodles for the shaft plus some Dollar Tree vines around ropes. I found Ivy vines, but I had to add a third leaf to each group of two. ("Leaves of three, leave them be.") I also put a dab of hot glue at the base of each leaf pair to keep them from popping off the vine. The face started with an old smiling "Scream" mask, spray painted green. Unfortunately, the paint wasn't campatible and stayed sticky. I used some talc to dry the surface out. I then added some left over Halloween eyeballs and a nose. Leaves were added to the face. The edges of the leaves were used to reduce the size of the eye sockets and the mouth. Purple eyelinger and lipstick were painted on. The operator holds a handle on the back of the head and uses a pair of rods to operate the arm vines.
I'm directing an improvised puppet show in Seattle. Here is one of the stars of the show in limp repose.
Clay sculpt of my puppet head, inspired by fantasy art such as The Dark Crystal and developed from my CG sculpt. Changes include larger exaggerated wrinkles, larger (friendlier) eyes and a larger more expressive mouth. This will be moulded in a three-part mould and re-cast in latex, which will be added to the rest of the body (a half body without legs, due to time constraints). The mouth will be operated by a hand inserted under the body.
It was a Summer Reading Extravaganza by Puppet Pizzazz! The kids saw some amazing puppets in action!
Quite the show! Puppets controlled by pipes under a water stage do a series of acts to traditional music.
A rod puppet is manipulated with wooden or wire rods. [2] Rod puppets can sometimes have a complete working hinged mouth. Many do not. A rod puppet can have a fixed facial expression. Arms are usually a requirement as rods are attached to them. A fish rod puppet could have a rod attached to the tail to manipulate this section of the puppet. Sometimes special variants exist with additional manipulable parts: (e.g., eyelids that open and close). Many rod puppets depict only the upper half of the character, from the waist up, with the stage covering the missing remainder, but variations sometimes have legs. The legs usually just dangle, but in special cases the legs may be controlled either from behind the stage using rods from below. (wikipedia)
These highly articulate puppets have been designed by Folded Feather specifically for teaching ensemble puppetry performance (Bunraku). All methods of construction and in particular moving joints are visible so students may also learn puppet construction both traditional and innovative. Customized teaching puppets are available by order, please contact Oliver foldedfeather@gmail.com
