Wool can be a great material for creating handmade puppets. We had a wonderful time getting creative and making our very own puppets!

Shot with my old point-and-shoot.

Claire looks off, Chris (Red Hat) chuckles, and Michelle (Luna) pets Chris (Puppet Master). A typical night in Harris.

Four small puppets who look very much like the original Swedish supergroup from the seventies ABBA on display at ABBA The Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. These were used in a partially animated music video featuring several songs recorded by the group.

Now, my Indonesian shadow puppet has an articulated paper-horse-doll to point at it.

Horse by The Pin Pals.

I love how the Indonesian shadow puppet is similar to the horse it its articulation and how the horse alludes to the horse plaque above.

Punch and Judy Glove Puppets

1940 - 60

Mr Punch originated in the Pulchinella of Italian Commedia dell'Arte. The earliest Punch and Judy shows in England were performed in Covent Garden in 1662 by an Italian puppeteer using marionettes. Punch's characteristic reedy voice comes from the small 'swozzle' that the puppeteer or 'professor' holds in his mouth.

Punch: wood, corduroy, rabbit fur, velvet and metal braid

Judy: wood, cottonrabbit fur, linen and lace

Made by Wal Kent (died 1961)

Given by the British Toy Theatre & Puppet Guild

Museum no. S.547:1, 2-2001

One of Phil's old wooden puppets he carved himself. He used to do Punch & Judy on the beaches of Cornwall back in the 70's.
