Subject: Puppet Storage


Here we use dowel rods tipped with rubber/plastic tips purchased at a large
hardware store. for larger Vent figures we use larger dowel rods tipped with
cane/chair tips found at the same store. Alternately, for large figures we
use solid rubber/plastic balls, drilled to size, on the ends of the rods.
The bases, or bottom of the rods, are set into board shelves or thick bases
(for the heavier figures) that sit on the shelves. These are draped with
plastic covers, loosely set over the figures to prevent dust collecting. For
long term storage we wrap in muslin and put in trunks..............Bud
