There's a puppet festival in Almonte, this weekend.  I attended a puppet workshop.  There were various speakers with different involvement in the puppet industry, from the guy who produced Puppets Who Kill, to chezch performers to a Punch and Judy puppeteer from the UK.  I made a puppet a few months ago for my pal Lori, see below.  I'm not sure why I made a puppet, it was just one of those things that 'came out' of a studio making session.  I felt like I needed to explore this puppet phenomenon and meet other puppet minded people. 

Getting back into the swing of things, after some Canadiana travelling, family visit and moving into a new abode.  Lots of exciting projects in the works, so the blog ought to part of the routine too.
