Today is World Puppetry Day where we take a moment to recognize the art and whimsy of puppets.<\/p>\n
Puppets are important to me for many reasons. I have made life long friendships because of puppets. I have had some interesting adventures due to the puppets. Caroline owes her existence to a Klingon Puppet that Peter bought in an Art Show oh so many years ago.<\/p>\n
I have enjoyed seeing a lot of different kinds of puppets and puppet performances. I am always amazed that what people can do with puppets. <\/p>\n
I also have a lot of fun building them. I like watching people\u2019s faces when they see a puppet that they like. I enjoy playing around with people with the puppets.<\/p>\n
And I am pretty good at creating these puppets. I found a niche that works for me and I play in that sandbox for the most part.<\/p>\n
I really think my calling is educating people about puppets and puppetry. I have done panels on the history of puppets, building puppets, and so you want to build a puppet. I will always treasure my time at the Center for Puppetry Arts working in the museum and everything I learned there.<\/p>\n
So celebrate the puppets today! Think about your favorite puppet performance you have ever seen. About your favorite puppets. About when you first discovered puppetry. <\/p>\n
I am grateful for all the people I have met because of puppets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
