The Puppet Parade

Fellow Puppet Lovers Out There!!!

2006-05-18T18:31:00.000+01:00

Something very exciting happened today - per chance i stumbled across this amazingly interesting website for The Society of People Who Look Like Finger Puppets (TSOPWLLFP).

I am so pleased to see that there are other people who truly appreciate the love and Joy finger puppets can bring to the world.

Check out their site! http://homepages.nyu.edu/~sty206/

Mysterious re-apperance of the Jester!

2006-05-08T10:28:00.000+01:00

Thank you to Simon French who has sent in this picture of a poor down and out puppet laying standed in the streets of Ladbroke Grove.

One can't help but wonder if this is the very same puppet that joined us at the Notting Hill carnival in 2005 - i have not seen him since and it is very possible that he is now living ruff. Can anyone else help me in identifying him?

Finally please take pity on the less fortunate puppets of the world. Do not follow the example of Mr. French who left this poor fellow in the street on account of him being 'too dirty to pick up'. Shame on you - be warned the puppets will have their revenge!

Karen at Wrestle Mania!

2006-04-28T11:23:00.000+01:00

Karen is a huge Wrestle Mania fan and tonight she is taking a night off from digging to attend the live tour at Wembly arena! Here she is clutching her ticket in her small moley hands.

Wow it's packed but the lights are a bit bright for her mole like eyes :-(

The highlight of the evening is meeting her all time favourite wrestler Gold dust! They seemed to get on well - she hopes that maybe a romance will blossom xx

Peril goes NYCing it

2006-04-28T11:03:00.000+01:00

Peril the elephant is just back from his trip to Manhatten and has sent us some lovely pictures of the sight seeing he did there.

Here he is looking up the empire state building - he is too scared to climb all the way to the top (pussy)!

Hanging out in Cental park feeling very sex in the city

Checking out the news - careful the cheesy american grins don't hurt your little eyes

Tired little elephants need their sleep shhhh.

Hello Rudolph and Kanye - it's been a long time since we have heard from you, i thought you may have run away :-( again i'm a little dubious as to the authenticity of your photo, but i'm glad you had fun on your holiday none the less.

Spanker goes to Mars (and leaves a surprise behind)

2006-04-12T13:49:00.000+01:00

Look! Spanker's on Mars!

All he wanted to do was sun himself for a bit and draw some pictures in the sand and he's caused a bit of a stir amongst atronomers because some of his 'artwork' can be seen from Earth!

How to make your own Mouse Puppet

2006-04-11T16:02:00.000+01:00

Not everyone wants to spend all of their wages on Puppets?! So here is a pattern that you can use to make and personalise your very own.

And here is one i made earlier! the good thing is that you can make her using materials found in your office. Here i used a pink file divider, black marker pen and some Christmas wrapping paper left over from the secret Santa.

In the Hot Tub with Pierre

2006-03-24T10:22:00.000Z

This week we have been sent some photo's of little Pierre lording it up in his very own hot tub. If you look closely in the right hand corner of the first picture you may spot some toes! Does he have a new mystery man?

I don't have a puppet :-(

2006-03-09T12:28:00.000Z

Althrough i have tried to provide as many of you as i can with puppets i have not been able to help everybody. However worry not.... i have sourced a fantastic online vendor which sells some fantastic ones and even has a specific section for the finger variety (my personal fave).

They even sell them as sets...check out the 10 piece Asian family & friends set below. Each 4 inches tall they come with fully stitched clothes and faces.They all have velcro fixed to the back so they can be used on a felt storyboard!

Bit dubious as to the authenticity of this one but thanks for your efforts anyway Lee!

Bolivian Puppet Excitement

2006-03-08T09:12:00.000Z

More finger puppet excitemnet from around the world! This time we are in Bolivia with Annie and Dan.

The first picture shows the unfortunate way that puppets are treated in Bolivia- mass produced and left on the street in big plastic bags.

Luckily they managed to rescue 4 (Soroche, Vicc, Guany and Kallawaya) and as you can see they are very happy now and even managing to communicate with Mr Death a little who has learnt some Spanish. Hurrah!

Puppets do Rome!

2006-03-07T13:02:00.000Z

Spanker looks out of the window of the stansted express eagerly - he is so exited about his holiday! Did you know that puppets have been traced as far back as ancient rome?

On the flight - The enemy is slighly nervous as he is not a good flyer (despite being a bird)

Bebop a, new puppet all the way from cape town, visits the Pantheon!

His partner in crime Rock Steady admires a statue of a man blowing horns - it makes him want to go out raving!

Ohh isn't ice-cream the best in Italy thinks the Enemy tucking into his mint-choc chip. It's only March you mentalist!

Yes Spanker it is difficult to remember what every picture you took is of - nice but.

The Puppets are so tired after their adventures - Off to bed but no funny business please!

Panda Abuse

2006-02-16T10:35:00.000Z

Sadly Aidan neglected to care for Deng Shao Ping properly which resulted by him being auctioned on ebay. Even more sadly the panda has now gone missing feared thrown out in the trash by an evil flatmate. RIP little guy.
