Hint, hint – we’ll be unveiling a new product at the end of the month – and these Javanese Shadow Puppets remind me of it.

I’ve never seen a shadow puppet show – but I’m dying to catch one some day.  They’re also fabulous to look at – or simply display at home – no? 

Stunning renditions of traditional Indian mythological characters – Arjuna is featured above.

Inspired to make your own Arjuna?  Follow the instructions in this tutorial for an afternoon of fun.  You can slowly build up to a whole character set – and perhaps have the kids stage a play for the grandparents?  But I am no Julie Andrews.

   A fascinating discussion is worth comment. I believe that you ought to publish more on this subject, it may not be a taboo matter but usually folks don’t speak about such subjects. To the next! Kind regards!!
