Hi everyone,

after carving the heads of the 3 funny guys in the play I've started to carve the hands.
Here is a picture of the 3 stadia of carving them.

Hi friends,

I'm back again and finished carving one of the little guys. As you can see I dind't carve the whole arm because it's hidden under the clothes.
The next step is to paint him.
Johan

Nice!  What is the upper arm made of?

Thx Shawn,

the upper arm is made of  a leather band they used in a sewing-machine.

Johan

That witch is creepy!

I like this new puppet, especially the arms. I've not seen upper arms done like that before, it looks like a very useful method if you don't need to carve anything.

Hallo Gompie, op het ogenblik zijn we aan het onderhandelen om in Nederland te komen spelen. Tijdens onze laatste vertoning van dit seizoen is een landgenoot van jou komen kijken in onze zaal nl. de auteur van het boek 'De giraffestraat' Gerard Tonen. (ons stuk is hierop gebaseerd). Ik laat je wel weten wanneer we in Nederland toeren. Grtjs Johan
Just telling that it is possible we are going to play in the Netherlands and that during our last play of this season the author of the book we took for our play was with us to watch the play. This meant a lot to us!

Johan

That is neat to hear about the author being at your performance!  Congrats!
