Even some of my puppeteer friends have admitted to feeling a little uncomfortable in our living room. We recently moved, and our new entry area has a wall that doesn't meet the ceiling, forming a lovely tall platform perfect for golek display. So now there's a huge gang of them staring down at anyone bold enough to enter our house. People do seem to want to cover up their necks a lot... ;) Regards, Diane http://www.freshwaterpearlspuppetry.com On Fri, 5 Jan 2007 13:50:38 -0500, steve abrams wrote: > It is sometimes difficult to remember that our depth of involvement and > knowledge of masks and puppetry, give us an unusual perspective.
