Men Dance with Toritos-(Ocotlan, Oaxaca) Mexico




I love the simple construction of these puppets from Mexico. The pieces seem lightweight and easy to maneuver. More inspiration for people who want to man their own puppets.

Inspiration for Pageant Puppet Contsruction- Masopust, Czech Republic






The shots above were taken in the Czech Republic by Roman Dvorak at the Masopust festival. I love the creativity! The Czech's have a long tradition of puppetry, which I will explore in later blog posts.


 These are a few other shots of Masopust I found online. Not sure who took them.
