It is amazing what is out there that people have done. I am finding new puppeteers and puppetry groups I had never hear of/seen before. Mathieu- The reason I put the "beautiful" in quotes was because what is beautiful to one person is hideous to another. I didn't want to stifle anyone from presenting what they found beautiful. I was reminded of this last week when I showed someone my portfolio and they had a strange reaction to the Pinhead (hellraiser) Hand and Rod puppet I did as a lark. Hellraiser scared the bejeezus out of them in college but the puppet is rather cute so they really didn't know how to react to it.
