Next Up: A Puppet Show at Florida CraftArt




Excited to share...
I'll have an interactive “jumping jack” piece in this “World on a String” puppet art exhibit at Florida CraftArt,  plus my Big Black Wolf puppet sets will debut there too--so be sure to stop in if you’re in St Pete or Tampa area! Opens June 26 but is on display thru Aug 15.
my jumping jack “the sixth swan” is inspired by a Grimm fairy tale where six brothers are turned to swans and their sister must knit them each a magical shirt for them to return to human form but she runs out of time and the last brother’s shirt is only partially finished so he retains one wing for the rest of his days…
my paper puppet sets are of course inspired by red riding hood but in my tale the wolf and a tree character are the protagonists... at least in my version! that is the beauty of them you can make up your own story....
