Another rainy day in Sydney? Check out the puppet shop in an old sandstone building in George St. It is a dazzling cave packed with marionettes, toys, statues, masks and artifacts from all over the world.
The library welcomed Charles Kubricht for a Nutcracker Puppet show. With the holidays approaching, everyone is getting into the holiday spirit.
More Puppet Warp work in photoshop.
The bottle was harder than the celery. I don't know if I would want to do something this drastic for a final piece. It really moves the pixels around. But believable enough at a small size.
Here they are ready for the show!
This one of a kind little puppet master is 7.75 inches tall from the bottom of her boots to the top of her handmade lace head piece that is covered in flowers, pom poms and crystals.
Her hair is fine english viscose.

Jim Barber, ventriloquist, and puppet at Branson Show Biz Kids intergenerational Edlerhostel program.
And the finished trumpet vine puppet. The operator puts one foot through the loop of rope at the base of the stem, then holds the rod for the center flower to move it and support the stem. The two ouside flowers are suspended from a dowel by strings and are operated like a marionette. These stem is foam rubber wrapped in felt, spray painted, with a few silk leaves. And, yes, the garage is a mess and will stay that way for one more week (opening day.)
Founded in the late 1940s, the Marie Hitchcock Puppet Theater is a longtime San Diego tradition for children. Puppet performances are presented throughout the year by a variety of troupes. The theater also provides a venue for its resident puppeteers, who work with marionettes, hand, rod, and shadow puppets. Special programs and workshops are offered. The theater is sponsored in part by the City of San Diego Park and Recreation Department.

I missed seeing ideiafix which was there. Great puppet shop at Male Strana just off the Charles Bridge. My heart sort of belongs to the dragon here though.
This is a puppet from the Vietnamese Water Puppet Show in Hanoi, Vietnam. These puppets shows have been around since the 10th century and was the funnest show I have ever seen. The show is in Vietnamese so we had no idea what they were saying but it did not matter, these crazy puppets would come out and do all different scenes. There were around 12 scenes and were very entertaining. We have so many videos and photos of all these puppets. If you would like to see some more just ask me.
we all loose our head once in a while... this guy was lucky, he got a new one from leftover jewelry...
So I get asked the question "can you tie celery in a knot." So I say sure. Then I had to figure out how to do it.
This, and the water bottle image, are two ROUGH attempts in Photoshop at learning how to use the Puppet Warp filter in CS5. They are not 100% realistic, but it was good enough to get the concept across.
Puppet Warp is know my new friend.
Chinese Shadow Play ,which can also be called Chinese Shadow Puppet play, is one of the most ancient genre of drama in China. It came into being in the Han Dynasty (206B.C.-A.D.220) and has more than two thousand years' history.
Popular among the people of China, Chinese Shadow is a dramatic form which uses lantern to project shadows on the screen. The artistic effect of the play is produced through light, screen, music, singing, and puppet operation.
The puppets in the shadow play are made of transparent leather. Chinese shadow artists first carve out the lines of the design and then dye them in bright colors. These transparent leather puppets become very lively and beautiful under the lantern light.
This is Jon's second puppet. She also has a really cute sundress, but I guess it was too cold to wear it today.
Studying the details that make the puppet who he is, then forgetting perfection and just reaching for the "essence", becuse as the puppet said, "I have lots of essences!" (So much fun, I cold have continued with his other poses, but I had to move on to housework.)
Puppet Man was really rocking today.
