I’ve been lucky enough to ship #puppets all over the world. This pink ogre was off to Osaka this week!

The Captain is tired of being a marketing puppet and tired of the internet. 
"...Hundreds of life-size animal puppets have begun a 20,000km journey from central Africa to the Arctic Circle as part of an ambitious project...The public #art initiative called The Herds, which has already visited Kinshasa and Lagos, will travel to 20 cities over four months to raise awareness of the #ClimateCrisis..."
Art & #culture can be used creatively to motivate people. For this project, local ingenuity is combined with the world-wide human love of #puppets.
Macabre and unsettling furry #puppets, the #psychology of #colour in popular #films, British seaside simulator app, neon #art by AK Berlin that are a blast from the 80's, eerie and strange portals and much more. #InterestingThings #ContentCatnip

The Herds
The Herds is a public arts initiative with an aim to bring awareness to the the issues of climate change - which often results in the forced migration of animal species. The Herds will travel 12,400 miles and visit 20 cities across four months to “flee climate disaster,” with the group making their way from the Congo Basin through Nigeria, Senegal, Morocco, Spain, France, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, the UK, and Norway - finishing in the Arctic Circle in August.
The puppets are made primarily from recycled materials: cardboard for the skin and rubber for the joints.
As it travels, the herd will be joined by new locally created puppets representing local species, such as vervet monkeys in Nigeria, wolves and red deer in Europe, and reindeer in Norway. Sadly, some puppets will also 'die' along the route

Thursday - recharge with Bread and Puppet Theater at the #SomervilleMA Armory
https://artsatthearmory.org/events/bread-puppet-theater-the-obligation-to-live/
Puppet show! Puppet show! Bread & Puppet Theater is excited to announce their spring tour, traveling from #Vermont down the Eastern Seaboard. As always, the show will include #puppets large and small, music, up-to-the-minute #politics, and spectacles not to be missed. After the show Bread & Puppet will serve its famous sourdough rye bread with aioli, and Bread & Puppet’s “Cheap Art” – books, posters, postcards, pamphlets and banners from the Bread & Puppet Press – will be for sale.
Of their latest show, The Obligation to Live, director Peter Schumann reminds us that, “The obligation to be alive and act against the actors of death is just one of humanity’s many obligations. We also have the obligation to courage and the obligation to plant garlic in the rubble of the empire. Possibilitarians know this and bring giants, dragons, horses, sheep, butterflies, and the exact dance of death required for this exact moment.”

New #video series on building #puppets! Tips, Tricks & Tutorials. First up we tackle the nemesis of all puppet builders: hands. On #YouTube and for my #fediverse peeps, #Peertube.
#stream follow up: ended up going with a young goblin vibe. Really pleased with this one. Lots of charm. #puppets #puppetbuilding
I have to interrupt our travel report from South America for a moment with a current post.
Very, very similar pictures are popping up everywhere at the moment, showing a person as a small plastic action figure, complete with various accessories originally packed in a sales package. These images are usually all generated with AI. Except for a small independent trend where artists make their own versions of their action figures; often drawn, but also folded from paper, crocheted or modelled from plasticine.
Here is my take on this phenomenon:
The Garstl action figure. 100% AI-free. Completely classic, manual image retouching.

Forever homes await! #puppets #puppetbuilding
@meganL
I was given a little stack of salvaged chloroplast and used it without noticing
It’s definitely useless for the kind of papier mache puppets we used to make
But yeah waterproof. And I’d never noticed its relative weightlessness if somebody has trouble carrying a sign, but really wants to
New #puppets just listed on https://www.operationpuppet.com/, a live hands ogre and two Smols! #puppetbuilding #smallbusiness
This little critter is off to their forever home already! I’ll definitely be doing more of this sort. Thank you for buying from my direct shop so I can not be gouged by #etsy fees. #puppets #puppetbuilding
