Paper Puppet Palooza:
Techniques for Making Moveable Art Figures and Paper Dolls
By
Norma V. Toraya
There is nothing more enchanting than the simple, funny movement created by a flat, two-dimensional paper puppet. Puppets are automatically, and inherently, amusing. Paper Puppet Palooza will show you how to make a wide variety of moveable paper puppets, marionettes, shadow puppets, charming toys, and novel, artful gifts.
In addition to each of the basic puppet construction styles, exciting variations include instructions for making a puppet theatre, moveable greeting cards, rod puppets, and more. An enjoyable cast of puppet characters the famous Paul Palooza, a dashing Zebra known as The Great Zesby, and the lovely dancer, Ananushka Pupehklova, and many others will guide you through your puppet-making adventure.
Norma Toraya, aka Crankbunny, is an animation director for Curious Pictures in NYC where she works on commercials, music videos, TV intros, documentaries, and projections for different clients. Her animation work and charming puppet work can be found online at www.crankbunny.com. (Great name by the way!)
