With a chest like this, I was sure it was an opera singer-monkey!
Phillip,
Were performances held in the tent? Thanks for sharing your photos.

Performing in Norway! That's gotta be exciting. And the snowy photos make Minnesota look rather balmy. Hope it went well, Phillip!
A great character! Yes, do more marionettes!!
Very nice stand, Scott. Thanks for sharing.
"By a student" seems more plausible. It is too bad when people collect so-called historic puppets & fail to keep any kind of records that would help with the provenance. It is a dis-service to our fellow artists if their work is mis-labelled in late…
Thanks Rolande, I would love to see one "in person" again. I remember admiring some of his puppets displayed at the very first P of A Festival that I was able to attend in 1967. He really did some beautiful sculpture work on the figures.
That is not a Salzburg style control. Theirs is much simpler. This looks like a marionette nightmare waiting to happen.
Rolande, are your sure this is McPharlin's work? Looks nothing like his style.
Marguerite was restored for display purposes only. However she is a good working puppet. I tried her on my hand after attaching her new hands & she works well, although a bit top-heavy because of all the animation inside her head. She has working si…
I assume with the restoration the puppet could now be manipulated. Could you tell us about the mechanism inside?

Festival Sesi Bonecos Do Mundo 2009
I am on my way to take part in a wonderful international puppetry festival in Brazil, Festival Sesi Bonecos do Mundo This will be the third time I have performed for this festival which is held every year in a different Brazilian city. The first time I appeared was 2006 in Sao Paulo where I and several other puppeteers entertained 40,000 spectators at once in an outdoor park with the help of a director & 3 camaramen capturing the puppet close-ups that were projected on giant screens placed a… Continue

- Happy Holidays Phil, Hope this finds you having had the best of Holidays.
I honor your opinion and would love you to take a look at this piece. The Grass Hopper is one of jimmy Rowlands and I wanted something to work him into so I created the turtle. Enjoy and as always spare me no rods lol http://www.puppethub.com/video/turtle-and-grass-hopper-song Thanks.

- Hi Phillip, I got home last night from a very rough Christmas Party show to find your lovely present waiting for me. It made me feel so much better. Thanks so much! The macadamia nuts are fabulous and the program is lovely. They really do a first class job. The cast of the show sounds wonderful. Where are you now? I hope some place warm, as it dropped to 6 degrees here last night.
