Shadow puppets from "Rainbow Bridge" (technical photos coming soon)


By hobey1 - Posted on 22 June 2008

My newest show "The Rainbow Brigdge and Other Tales" features shadow puppets that I've created uoing some cool new technology. The material that I'm using is high density poly-ethylene sheeting with black matte finish. It is a plastic sheeting cut-able with scissors and paper punches. The thickness is similar to poster board. I am using heavy music wire for rods with dowell handles and a trigger for the mouth of the puppet. The joints of the puppet are created with rivets in 1/8" holes and made from plastic rod material consisting of weed eater cord or styren rod material with melted rivet ends made with a soldering iron with tip hammered flat which melts the ends of plastic rod into rivets.
