Hi Daniel,

I really like the sock angle.  A sea of sock puppets would be a great
spectacle.  Also, it could produce a nice and memorable still photo.

Has promotional appeal-- you can set up sock drops (Give us your socks!)
and get sock manufactures to send you some (Sock it to me!) as well.
Events/days for "Socks without partners" could give it an adult angle to
get teens, college students, and adults involved. Classes at schools
could send you sock puppets as well. ( Add a band and have a
sock(puppet) hop. ) There also could be a auction of sock puppets by
local celebs... auctioned by the pair would be good schtick.  (How much
am I bid for this pair of... socks?) Yeah, I know you want to do it in 6
days....

The socks are very approachable and can be turned into simple puppets
with merely a marker or more elaborately with other materials. 

But then again... maybe I am just a sock fanatic... I recently bought 72
pairs of new bright yellow baby socks... for $3.00 total:).   

Best wishes

Help!
Ive been asked to create 30-40,000 puppets!
Sounds impossible but I think I have an interesting angle.
Lots of Participants...say 7-10,000 people at a festival.... are given a
blank glove puppet made from recycled paper (of course) and are
encourage to decorate it with their own themes/imagery/colours etc. Of
course we would ask the participants to do a few each and then at a
central event at the festival the puppets would be distributed amongst
the crowd and we could create a "Sea of Puppets" much in the vein of the
"sea of hands". 
Has any one had much experience with paper glove puppets and or getting
a manufacturer to produce them?
Any ideas/lateral thinking/discussion around this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Daniel

could be expanded to about 60,000 puppets or more!!!!!
Thanks for the ideas

D.

40,000 sock puppets. Get them used. Nothing says "green" like a
second-hand
sock.Quoting Kismet <kismet-AT-bigpond.net.au>:
