What to do during a glorious weather' lockdown ? The following was last year during our first lockdown. We are lucky to have a big enough garden so we decided to build a puppet theatre! We didn't want to buy anything or as less as possible so we had to used wha we had. It all started with some yellow velvet curtain that I had from a previous event (they came with the curtain mechanism too!!). It kind of dictated the colour scheme plus bonus I already had blue, gold paint and wood. I've made some theatre pelmet's research, some golden cardboard stars... and voilà! It's still not finished, but there's a sketch below that shows the final idea. We’ve had some great time with it, the only problem is that we have to take the heavy curtain down every day as it's too damp here to leave overnight.
1st sketches for the pelmet, then the colour scheme with the colours I had.
Stars in the making
Happy son
Happy mum...
This is the final idea, still things to do...
This is a papier maché sun as you can see, there's a moon to be photographed too..The idea is that for the puppet show we needed something that explained night and day! so this 2 items were on a vertical stick and could rotate above the puppet curtain as we needed for the show.
