From a production of "Moth and Moon"- if I recall correctly- by Sandglass Theater of Putney Vermont. Seen on display in a window at the box office for the Puppets In The Green Mountain festival this past weekend. Sandglass is one of my favorite companies in the compelling world of puppetry.
The puppets in Rajasthan are one of the popular sources of entertainment in the state. It involve activities like drawings, paintings, wood carving, carpentry, plaster cast making, clay modeling, costume designing, story, script writing, dramatization, song and music composition. Wow, that's quite a lot of work...:))
Wear the puppet into your two fingers and you are ready to have fun with kids. Tickle baby`s tummy, tell bed time stories to toddler or let children make up their own stories. It is fun for all ages. They are very light so you can take them where you go.
They are very friendly, looking for some friends to play with them. These two finger puppets are perfect gift for baby showers or birthdays.

El mundo está en mí. ¿No me apartaré?.
Acojo todos los colores y el estío dentro de mi otoño.Porque sé que no hay fin, que no habrá término.
Yo soy el infinito proyecto de mí misma y por encima de mí, me sobrevuelo.
"Entonces,por un momento, ahora, sin voluntad...y casi está bien.Hasta pensar en estar bien y convertirlo en nube. En trayectoria".

Shadow play or shadow puppetry is an ancient form of storytelling and entertainment using opaque, often articulated figures in front of an illuminated backdrop to create the illusion of moving images.
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.

Imaginext figure from the Series 8 blind bags. His accessory is a puppet control bar. I found him at a local grocery store in the Seasonal aisle. They were selling them as gifts to go in Easter Baskets.
That’s how I got my first Imaginext figure in 2014.
The very famous Rajasthani puppets...seems as if dese are taking a kind of "rest" before they are back in the strings ;)

Kathputli is a string puppet theatre, native to Rajasthan, India, and is the most popular form of Indian puppetry.[1] Being a string marionette, it is controlled by a single string that passes from the top of the puppet over the puppeteers.

For Lucy. Size 4. Sarah-Jane 'Out to Sea' and Spotlight seersucker.
Shorts are her preferred choice for summer, and while she still fits her old ones (including her original size 2s), I thought that it was time for some new ones, particularly since she starts preschool in a couple of weeks.
For over a thousand years, performers in Vietnamese water puppet theater have always gotten cold feet. And very wet.
Water puppetry is performed in a chest-deep pool of water, with the water's surface as a stage. The puppeteers stand behind a curtained backdrop. First performed a thousand years ago on the surface of ponds and paddy fields in Vietnam's Red River Delta, water puppetry (roi nuoc in Vietnamese) is the lively creation of farmers who spent their days in flooded rice fields. At some point, they discovered that the water was an excellent medium for puppetry: it not only concealed the puppeteers' rod and string mechanisms, but it also provided exciting effects like waves and splashes.
The water also provides the best setting for the puppeteers' theme: day-to-day village life. Water puppets bring wry humor to scenes of farming, fishing, festival events such as buffalo fights, and children's games of marbles and coin-toss. Fishing turns into a game of wits between the fisherman and his prey, with the fisherman getting the short end (often capturing his surprised neighbor by mistake). Besides village life, scenes include legends and national history. Lion dogs romp like puppies while dragons exhale smoke and shoot sprays of water at the audience. Performances of up to 18 short scenes are usually introduced by a pig-tailed bumpkin known as Teu, and accompanied by a small folk orchestra.
