For our 2009 National Day of Puppetry workshop we will be making puppets of recycled materials.
At our March 15 meeting we will be in the auditorium of the Audelia library. Half of the meeting will be devoted to building some sample puppets for the library display case which we have for the month of April. Note: the display case shelves are 11" deep, so keep that in mind. The other half of the time will be spent rehearsing the skit that Lynn B., Sandy S. and Sandra McL (Mimi) have written for the event.
If you are inspired to make some puppets for the display case before the March meeting that will be GREAT! just bring them with you. Feel free to use a variety of plastic bottles, boxes, etc. but we are going to concentrate on collecting small to medium size cardboard food boxes for the NDOP workshop. To keep things simple, we will use glue sticks, tape, and staples to put things together.
Please start collecting:
small cardboard food boxes such as boxes for cereal, mac & cheese, cereal bars, etc. You can open them and flatten them, but don't cut any flaps off - just be sure they can ge re-assembled. (Junque Mail Jill - pictured above - is made from a small cereal box approximately 9" x 6" s 2", for example);
bread twist ties;
shiny candy wrappers;
glossy junk mail papers, such as the Coupon Clipper or old magazines are OK, too.
Please contact me if you have any questions -
Thanks!
Pat
