Krampus paper puppet

/ Lady Lazarus / Leave a comment

New paper puppet on my Etsy shop:

This is Krampus, the goat-like demon of Germanic tradition who arrives with Saint Nicholas during the Christmas season. While St. Nick rewards the well-behaved children with gifts, its the role of Krampus to punish misbehaving children. My version of Krampus — while no less grotesque and fearsome than that of the traditional folkloric demon — comes elegantly dressed in a black damask-patterned vest, charcoal grey britches, red waistcoat and matching cravat because even a punishing monster wishes to look his best on Christmas.

Final size of puppet once assembled: 10″ H x 5.5″ W.

Available as a download or a DIY printed puppet kit with paper fasteners included that ships right to your door. Visit my Etsy shop: https://papercutpuppets.etsy.com

/ Lady Lazarus / Leave a comment

This is Maude, a Victorian era spiritualist medium. She uses the gift of her mystic Third Eye to gaze upon the spirit realm to communicate with dearly departed souls. Occasionally during a séance, the contacted spirits will manifest physically in the form of ectoplasm, a whitish, gooey substance.
 
Size of doll: 7 3/4″ high x 4.5″ wide (at base).
