Do you have a puppet lens? You can add it to my plexo...

 


This "space alien soft ventriloquists' dummy" puppet welcomes you to my collection of information about making creepy puppets - big ones, small ones (particularly from the Punch and Judy show) - and masks. I love paper mache and that's the common element through these lenses.

If you have a lens or a how-to page about puppets, feel free to add it in the links list below.

Enjoy!
