Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Creating shadow puppets using polycarbonate


I make my shadow puppets with paper glue and tissue paper and plastic bag.
to get that lovely fake indonesian look of translucent leather.
place plastic bag down .
paint glue (w bond) lay tissue and layer glue and tissue a bit
let dry . and draw with black marker or nice black paint the outline or
design and cut out shapw.
i sometimes use card stock,just regualr black card stock adn re inforce with
glue and let it dry and not curl.
and sometimes i combine the techniques.
beautiful
