Making a shadow puppet edit
Can anyone please tell me how to make a shadow puppet? (anon 17 May 2005)
- More of a reference desk question, but you can probably glean a bit from the description at Wayang of how these are made in Indonesia. You can make a simple shadow puppet out of cardboard with an exacto knife, gluing a flattened dowel or similar stick to it to have something to manipulate it with; insofar as you want to put together separate moving parts, you could rivet them, or attach them any of several other ways. Cardboard shadow puppets should be good for one-off use, but probably won't be terribly durable, and certainly will not be appropriate for fight scenes. -- Jmabel | Talk 20:46, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
Merge? edit
Shadow play is more fully developed. It's also decently referenced, which this isn't. If nothing here can be cited, perhaps this should redirect without merging. -- Jmabel | Talk 04:59, August 17, 2005 (UTC)
