Puppets as decoration? Posted by Onath on Jul 29, 2008
So check this out.

I have branched my puppets into a whole new line of work. They now are not just fun tools for imagination but they are also now apparently a cool avant garde art up there with paintings.

A designer approached me about having my puppets be a decoration in a house that she had designed. She said they were perfect for what she was doing. So I brought over a bunch of puppets for her and she picked out the colors she wanted and boom they are now artwork like an oil painting I love it.

Hopefully this will catch on and we will all be making puppets for decoration as well as for use as puppets.

Well go to this site and you see our puppets in one of the pictures. Let me know your thoughts.

I love it!  So much thought and creativity that goes into a puppet, it is vey much a work of art.  There are plenty of museums that exihibit puppets.  Why aren't they always an art? 

BTW That's fantastic for you.  I hope she becomes a regular customer.

I like it too.  Your colorful puppets look good in a svelte modern home!

Right now I hang marionettes on the wall in my living room, which is colorful and modern in flavor. 

On my maybe-someday list, I have plans to make puppets over my kid's bedroom door entrances and our basement entrance.

FUN FUN

Puppets have always been "decorations" in our home because we just have too many but I never thought about "non-puppet people" using them as decorations!  I think it is Brilliant!! Yeah puppets!!!!

Well it is a super secret....

Don't tell anyone....

This info is just for the people here....


It took a long time to figure out puppet stands.....


Nah I'm just kidding... They are oil funnels for trucks I think they are extremely long you can find them in auto stores well here is an example

It even says it in the description "Can Be Used For Numerous Applications" that would include puppet stands.

I warn you in advance if you go in and buy twenty at a time they WILL look at you like your crazy.

Some of my favorite responses
"you know you can use these more than once right?"

"How many cars do ya own?"

"why in hell would you need this many funnels?"

"Your not using these to build a bomb or sumpin right?"

and it gets even better if you tell them that you want to use them for puppets. But I will let you experience those replies on your own.

Someday I will have to tell you all the story of when I went to Home Depot and bought 200 rat traps for a film project. Now those were some great responses.
