Welcome to Al and Kai’s Faboo News
Before Christmas we started on putting together some puppets for a show trailer for a new Christmas show (for touring libraries, stately homes etc.). We hope to get the trailer finished very soon so we can advertise in time for Christmas 2024 (watch this space).
As to what it is about, I think I will invite you all to give your own educated guesses😉.
I also took it as an opportunity to have a bit of an experiment with the new Indonesian wayang kulit (shadow puppet) chisels. I am thinking that I am not likely to abandon using scalpel blades altogether but probably use a combination of chisels and scalpel. The chisels are certainly useful for creating certain types of cuts and shapes, (probably not faster though – but I had been warned). I have also yet to sort out suitable maintenance/sharpening tools for the chisels when I need them though I have been doing research on the best method and suppliers.
Do leave a comment or a question if you’d like to know more 😊.
