A VIEW OF ZERO-WASTE, ECO-ART-WORKS-IN-PROGRESS PROJECT, RECYCLED CARDBOARD BOX PUPPET THEATER BY FIBER ARTIST XENOBIA BAILEY

THIS IS MY LATEST ZERO-WASTE GOAL, RECYCLED PROJECT... THIS IS A PUPPET THEATER STAGE MADE OUT OF A CARDBOARD BOX THAT I GOT FROM COSCO, NEWSPAPER AND CARDBOARD EGG CARTON.
I AM STILL WORKING THE KINKS OUT OF THIS PROJECT SO THAT IT IS FUN & EASY TO MAKE. ALL OF THE MATERIALS ARE RECYCLED.

THIS IS THE FRONT VIEW OF THE EMPTY STAGE.
WHEN I WAS A CHILD, MY SISTERS AND BROTHER CREATED A PUPPET THEATER OUT OF A CIGAR BOX. WE ONLY HAD TWO CHARACTERS THAT WERE IN THE ENDLESS PLAYS WE CREATED. THEIR NAMES WERE SUNSHINE AND ANNE...

THEY HAD A DIFFERENT ADVENTURE EVERYDAY... AND I CAN'T REMEMBER ONE OF THEM TODAY..
THIS PUPPET THEATER IS MODELED FROM THE ORNATE DREAM PALACE, MOVIES THEATERS THAT WERE BUILT ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

HERE YOU COULD BE TRANSPORT INTO THE MAGICAL WORLDS ON THE BIG SCREEN.

THIS IS A VIEW OF THE STAGE ELEVATED FOR TALLER PAPERBAG PUPPETS.

THESE PUPPETS ARE STILL BEING WORKED ON. I JUST LETTING YOU HAVE A VIEW OF THIS PROJECT UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
I WILL BE TEACHING HOW TO MAKE THIS RECYCLED PUPPET THEATER AS SOON AS I FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE IT....

THESE ARE THE VERY SIMPLE TOOLS & MATERIALS, I FORGOT TO INCLUDE A GLUE GUN.

GOT TO GET BACK TO WORK,.. I JUST THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE YOU SNEAK PEAK...

STAY POSTED!!
