GIF I made of my “Bessie & Bettie, Conjoined Twins” puppet.
Mermaid paper puppet, in action.
While the image quality of the GIF is dubious at best, their ubiquity on the Internet cannot be disputed. In other words, the kids these days love these.
Free feel to grab these and place on your Tumblr site, or wherever you see fit.
In addition to teaching and making art and animated films, I like to make and sell articulated paper puppets for my Etsy shop. Think I just enjoy the straightforward, playful simplicity of puppets and paper dolls.
I recently made this short stop-motion video “commercial” to promote my shop — but, honestly, I just wanted to get some of these puppets under camera to see what I could do with them. Their range of motion is limited (most of the heads don’t move), but I was up for the challenge.
The music is just some royalty free loop I downloaded from Soundsnap.
