Giant Puppet Production






Well, last night Martha and I worked on our giant puppet project with the other volunteers at the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Art Center. Learning to make giant puppets for the parade is interesting in and of itself. Believe me it's all new to us. Well not so much for Martha. In fact, she left feeling she had some different ideas about simpler ways to creat the structures of the puppet heads than what has been done in the past. There are more heads to be made; so perhaps by next meeting she'll have worked out the details of her new idea and created a prototype. Bill, the gallery director and his wife Cindy are great and great fun to work with. As it turns out, they too, did a long stint as foster parents for teenage boys, just as we did. I was really surprised at the coincidence of it. And, here we are in the same place doing the same thing (making giant puppets) and we've been in the same place, metaphorically speaking (i.e. been foster parents).
