Christina Anderson 3 puppet photo

This photo was on exhibition at the Ballet Shoe factory which holds exhibitions every year in Norwich of Norfolk contemporary artists. The factory is used as studios the rest of the year and is unfortunately being turned into silly apartments.

The puppets in the photo are of my sister Tina and a magician who starred in my puppet show Puppet idol at my cousins Taffeta and Jays wedding. My cousin Emma Anderson also a puppeteer helped make some of the puppets and performed in the show. Taffeta and Jay now have a wonderful restaurant in Keyston, Huntingdon. 

News update 2012: Taffeta and Jay no longer run the The Pheasant in Keyston.

Christina Anderson 2 Puppet photo

This is another photo of Christina Anderson's, with my puppets in a row. I really want to give them bodys but don't have the time. One day I would like to make little puppet films.

Auntie Christina Anderson puppet photo

Christina Anderson is a famous artist photographer based in Norfolk and has a wonderful fascination for my puppets. I started making them in at the end of 2002 and got very carried away I made them of all my friends, over a hundred of them but a lot of them I have not got round to making the costumes for them to wear. Christina likes them without the costumes and takes photos of them. You may recognised yourself in one of the photo, its been so long since I made them I cant tell who everyone is apart from a few there is Kerry in the third box at the top. Demanda in the first box. Hue Coffey on the 2nd row. This photo was in an exhibition at Norwich arts centre on St. Benedict's in Norwich. 

Christina's work is for sale if you would like to buy a print.

Rebecca and baby puppets

This my a puppet I made for my friend Rebecca and her two baby's. Rebecca's puppets outfit is made with scrape pieces of felt some of which was her felt that she uses to make lovely felt art in Co. Leitrim where she has an Eco small holding farm. 

You can buy her felt art from her blog. Her small holding is very popular as she tells the world how to live sustainably without wrecking the planet. She started the farm with a dog and two cats and now has goats, pigs, chickens and bunnies and is getting a pregnant horse from the ispca, to help with the farm.

Vera and Peter Wedding Puppets

Kilcolgan Castle is located on the banks of the Kilcolgan river overlooking Galway Bay, this is where my friend Vera and Peter got married a few years ago, it was a very romantic setting. I made wedding puppets for Vera and Peter to take on there voyage sailing round the world, so they could sort out newly wed, disputes using the puppets. I also made my pink fluffy outfit for the occasion at my friend Rebecca's house in Leitrim for myself. The bride looked lovely in her dress which was a rare occasion as she is normally rock climbing or out at sea. They now live in the area of the Castle and plan to build an Eco house one day. They have had a baby girl which I plan to meet one day and make a puppet for her. I cooked breakfast in the morning for the guests which was quite an effort after a night of drinking whisky and wine.

In today's world must people live single for a number of years, then they move in with either partner then have double the amount of house hold goods, so there is little point in buying more. Commission me to make puppets of your friends who are going to get married.
