Mathieu,
Tres interesante!
I'm a librarian/storyteller/puppeteer/magician with the Fresno County Public Library in Fresno, California.  I've been building and doing puppet shows for pay since 1973.  I'm wondering if I can get the library to pay some or all of  the fee.  I also make pine needle baskets

and baskets from rolled newspaper, and I make small people and/or animals

from telephone wire , of which I have a lot--you mentioned the possibility of materials/services as an alternate payment method.

I've been enjoying your posts on your exploration of new versions of the form, and I'd like to explore with you.

Sincerely,
Terrance V. Mc Arthur
