We wanted to design and make a pallet wood puppet theatre in such a way that the wooden structure has a practical daily use. So in the comment section below put down your guess as to what our theatre becomes after the curtain goes down on the seasonal festivities. There are two prizes of hand-crafted, papier-mâché glove puppets complete with hand-sewn organic fabric costumes. One prize for the correct answer, which in case of several correct answers, will be drawn from the hat by the said puppet and one for the most amusing answer. Thank you all for watching, subscribing and commenting and here's wishing you all Good Luck and Happy Repurposing!

The first stages of the puppets - papier-mâché made from strips of organic paper bags from our local grocery store and a home-made organic flour glue.
It's a cludgie, ya bass! Love the piggies - I used to make papier maché puppets and piggy banks with my kids. Looking forward to being able to do this sort of thing again one day ... when we have a house built and the forest garden established ...
ReplyDeleteWe've been reading round the subject on papier maché and are amazed to find what this pre-plastic-revolution material was used for - boats, sinks, buckets - just with the addition of linseed oil. Also for observatory domes, which we have been wanting to make for years. The piggies are going into costume and make-up shortly. Sue has been snowed under with making the props, and scenery. She also needed some technical advice on Tamworths - she wanted to make sure she had the skin colour right - luckily her sister in Scotland raises them. The other two are going to be a Gloucester Old Spot and a Lincolnshire Curly Coat. All the best and thanks for your cludgie comment - is this your guess for the competition? Andy
DeleteWell it's not really a guess since I recognised it from your Facebook photograph ... if indeed the 'puppet theatre' is what you're sitting in ... so if I'm right I don't deserve any sort of prize.
DeleteThere's papier maché furniture too! Are you talking about a camera obscura or an astronomical observatory? You've really got me thinking now about other possible uses in natural building ... The puppets I made were goblin and wee folk-like characters with wild white hair (sheeps' wool collected from fences around where we lived in Scotland). Such fun to make, though we ended up moving house before I had time to make all the bodies for them and alas they never got finished.
Wendy, sitting in the compost toilet is where we get the best light for outdoor filming in the Winter, it is also Sue's idea of 'branding' or rather 'anti-branding' on Organikmechanic, as is holding a chicken! So you get another guess if you like. We thought you came from Scotland, we came here from there and it's the home of great words like cludgie. The observatory dome, was, we understand made from papier maché because it was easy to form and easy to move. There are two left in the UK one is the Mills Observatory in Dundee and the other is the Godlee Observatory of the University of Manchester. We are really getting into the idea of using this material but are just scratching the surface and throwing a few ideas about at the moment. Your puppets sound fun - we really enjoy working with these materials and are determined to remove plastic from our lives and do some more experiments. All the best, Andy and Sue
