The evil White Witch takes shape
OK, I've been teasing you all with my new "project" long enough. I've been asked by the Birmingham Children's Theater, actually that cute Nancy Jones who could sweet talk the horns right off a billy goat, to chronicle their fall production of C.S.Lewis' The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, from start to finish! In high school I was much too shy ( oh stop the guffaws and knee slapping...I was!) to ever try out for a part in the school plays. I preferred to work behind the scenes with props etc. Well now I get to re-live the fun of watching a stage production unfold. Oh, did I mention that I read the book no less than 15 times to my third graders over the years? It was one of my most favorite read alouds. And don't fret, I'll give you peeks at the action from time to time!
Today, meet Emily Blanche. Emily hails from Fullerton, California and is here to construct the whimsical, mythical Narnia characters in puppet form. I was just fascinated with her renderings and watching her patiently hand sewing the puppets. What a talented artist she is!
Mr. Beaver will soon come to life!

Such artistry is beyond me! How do they do it! Love your photos; you've really captured what's involved here!
That mask could grow up to cover the face of the bad guy in a chainsaw slasher movie. Anyway, hi from Delhi. On to Kathmandu today. Internet access there is unknown.
What a great project! I was also too shy in Jr. High to perform and did behind the scenes work. It was fun!
