Puppets & Shadows Theatre

 

Short post tonight. I finished experiment 2 out of 3 in my puppet building adventure.

 
I will post a video later, but for now, here’s the pictures of the result. Most of the joints that I tried on the puppet worked- I love the way the spine bends. The hinges that I found for that really work well. The knees are a bit wonky, but I think I have a solution for that. There’s a ton of things I really love about this puppet skeleton that I think I can incorporate into future builds. There’s also things that, now that I’ve done them, I know I can do better.
I also got to use the world’s tiniest miter saw today which you can see in the third picture. It’s the best thing ever.
Next, I’m experimenting with fabric puppets. From wood working to sewing machines. Onward!
