From the Archives...

I forgot the charger for my notebook at the "office"...(BLAST!) so here I am going through old files on the glorified TV (read: quasi obsolete paperweight older computer) and I found this old gem for everyone's viewing pleasure!

The scene:
In September 2005 I moved to Prague, Czech Republic to hang around and pick up some mad puppet skills. I attended a couple workshop intensives on how to design/construct marionettes. I created my version of David Bowie's character "Jareth" from Labyrinth....he is also the first marionette I ever made.

You can find the link on the right hand nav bar or you can go here:

The second workshop I attended is where I made "Peanut" who is a marionette version of myself (mystery solved....it's a GIRL everyone!) She can be seen if you scroll down the blog. For more info on the workshops see www.kidpraha.cz

Enjoy!
