oddly self-absorbed, making and then performing with a puppet of oneself. Sadly this didn't lead to an adequate show.

Mark ‘Spoonman’ Petrakis and I are developing a shadow puppet show we call ‘Ubu’s Dreams’.
This short series of sketches stars Père Ubu, the hero of french poet Alfred Jarry’s surreal plays. In this show, Ubu is constantly dreaming, playing with archetypal characters from our collective unconscious.
For this project, we are creating a variety of wooden figures with a laser cutter: big faces, music notes, dancers, trees and graveyards, to name but a few. We then tape our puppets on wooden sticks, and wave them across the stage to bring them to life, with a projector over our heads.
We plan to continue this experiment through the summer and perform a first puppet show during our Dada exhibit at the Canessa Gallery in North Beach, from Nov. 3 to 12, 2016.
I also plan to use some of these techniques with our lower and middle school students, for the Maker Art courses I will be teaching this fall.
From shadow puppets to poetic robots, these interactive storytelling experiments have the potential to engage us at a deeper level and help us learn more about ourselves.

Mark ‘Spoonman’ Petrakis and I are developing a shadow puppet show we call ‘Ubu’s Dreams’.
This short series of sketches stars Père Ubu, the hero of Alfred Jarry’s surreal plays at the turn of the last century. In this show, Ubu is constantly dreaming, interacting with archetypal characters from our collective unconscious.
For this project, we are creating a variety of wooden figures with a laser cutter: big faces, music notes, dancers, street lamps, umbrellas trees and graveyards, to name but a few.
We will then attach our puppets on thin vertical sticks, and wave them across the stage to bring them to life, with a projector over our heads projecting them onto the screen.

I piled all of my hairy monster puppets all in one pile, my favorite thing to collect! Some are vintage, some are handmade, some are a mystery!
The brown on the left is an official Mopkins by Wynn Miller Enterprises (70's I think), the pink with the Seuss hat is unknown! Maybe a more recent handmade, not sure! The white (no bottome legs) is 70s 80s old and unmarked, the striped brown is VERY old with no tags, but seems like a company. The black & white spotted hand puppet was a vintage dog, but I remade into monster (see I dood it folder). The two GLORIOUS colored monster orange and pink puppets are locally made (Oregon) by Cheryl Guth, called Cuddly Critters, and have been sold at shows and events going back awhile. The small brown hand puppet with big blue nose is very 70s vintage, but no markings.
These are two of the dancers from a show called 'Puppet' by "Dae-Gu City Modern Dance Company", who are from South Korea, performing at this year's Edinburgh Fringe.
I met this company on the Royal Mile where they were performing an excerpt from their show. When I showed them some of my shots, the Director was kind enough to invite me along to photograph their show.
It was the first time I had really tried photographing a dance show...and I've never worked so hard photographically...constantly having to recompose and change exposure in response to the lighting and the movements of the dancers.
When the show ended, I was actually interviewed by a South Korean journalist. Life is more interesting in Edinburgh during the Fringe. :-)

Puppet shows remain popular here in Sicily, and it is not uncommon for a show to recreate conflict between Christian knights and saracen pirates a millennium ago during the Crusades.
The Hereios of the We're Here group were talking like pirates on 19 September.
A puppet on strings. This is really our life, controlled by strings and in the background a shadow trying to break out. This is how I am feeling from the jet lag.
Just back from our trip and will be posting more pictures as soon as we get over our jet lag. Glad to be back.
We all love it, from the traditional Punch and Judy Puppet Show to sophisticated London's Little Angel marionette theatre. This lovely brooch is a stage of a puppet theatre showing the most cherished children story "The Little Red Riding Hood".
Every single piece of the brooch was crafted and painted by myself. Each piece of one theme is therefore unique and slightly different to one another. The brooch is sealed with two coats of gloss varnish.
The size of the brooch is 30mm x 30mm
I made a few finger puppets for my little nieces and nephew for Christmas and one of my coworkers mentioned that she liked them. I told her I was toying with the idea of making an advent calendar of finger puppets and she loved the idea so much -- these will be hers.
This morning I read Craft Apple and she was starting a Flickr group for an advent calendar sew-along and I realized I'd found my accountability. I sewed the pig and chicken this morning to join the bat, dog and owl I'd made already.
Now if I can only think of 20 other animals I can create in finger puppet form and come up with a way to number and display them, I'll be all set!
If there be a hell upon earth it is to be found in a melancholy man's heart.

This was taken at an antiques fair at La Bisbal d'Emporda. When on holiday in Spain, we normally spend Saturdays and Sundays foraging amongst the tat and junk of the local car boot sales.
This market was a cut above those with many quality items - most of which were way beyond our price range.
I just liked the fact that this very old Oriental puppet was propped up against a tree waiting for somebody to fall in love with him. I'm not sure anybody did.
