RE: Red Wellies: Original Artwork #3 – Halying Island Rag Dolls
At twenty inches, I think the cat is as long as Frejya. I used to make large puppets when I was younger. People puppets. It was very time consuming. Nice work!
It really is as long as her lol! I'd love to see photos of the puppets and process in a post - that's very cool. Did you make them for work or fun?
For fun. I was a teenager. I made them from foam and material. They were pretty good sized. They looked like statler and waldorf from the muppets. I only made two. We bought the others that we used to do shows.
That's so cool! Where did you used to do the shows?
I was fifteen. We were actually a pretty big deal. My brother and I built a stage from PVC Pipe and material. It was lightweight, transportable, and looked professional. We did community parks, malls, and churches. Whoever wanted us to perform. Oh, senior centers and a school for children with learning disabilities. It was fun and rewarding. We didn't get paid, but that was never the point.
That is even more amazing and awesome. I'd have loved to seen pics of them and the show. Now that would make an interesting post :)
I'm not sure any pics exist. I will have to have a look. We made some smaller animal puppets, but the majority of the shows used the human puppets. I think some of them survived.
