Paper Hand Intervention‘s beautiful giant puppets often attract my attention at Flickr, and their commitment to community and green activism. The puppets are usually very colourful, but somehow this superb set of black and white photos by jetschmidt of their most recent show, The Living Sea of Memory , makes the figures more evocative. The violinist is perhaps my favourite.
Paper Hand Intervention is organizing the Second Annual Handmade Parade, taking place on 17 October, and by serendipity I came across Melinama‘s post about participating in their workshops, which includes some great photos and tips about making big puppets with the simplest of materials. After her follow up post about further work on her puppet, I’m looking forward to seeing how it all comes together. Melinama also has some cool masks there, too.
